An entrepreneur and partner of LeBron James plans to create a league to compete with the NBA
Is a new future brewing that will change basketball as we know it?
Despite reaching peak audiences outside the United States, within the American country, the NBA is not experiencing its best moment. This has led billionaire entrepreneurs to start reacting.
Bloomberg reports that businessman Maverick Carter, a partner of LeBron James, is advising a group of investors seeking to raise $5 billion from private capital sources to establish an international basketball league to compete with the NBA.
The league would consist of six male and six female teams, with games held in eight cities worldwide, spending two weeks in each.
A rotation similar to that of Formula 1 races would be implemented. Some of the sponsors involved in the project include Geoff Prentice, Skype co-founder, Grady Burnett, former Facebook executive, and investment company SC Holdings.
