then it might have a chance to succeed. Lavar Ball's money isn't going to do squat.

Even if they do get that support, the next question will be who's going to watch? I could be wrong but I have a hard time believing that even if they get the funding, that enough interest will be there for people to watch.
I don't know what Ball can offer that the G-League or playing overseas doesn't already offer aside from maybe slightly more money.

Who is going to coach these teams? Where are you playing the games? You say NBA arenas, but you think they’re going to agree to that? And how do you know that the coaches you bring in are quality enough to coach these kids and you’re not hiring some bum off the street? You may offer slightly more money now, but the real money is made when you’re in the league. And the G League, while not paying well, is a proven commodity that has NBA level coaching already. His league is going to be an extremely tough sell.
Who knows, it might work. Ball has already argued and yelled his way into becoming a household name so who am I to say this definitely won’t work. But I think this is another instance of an attention whore trying to stay in the news.

The number of 17-20 year olds that are worth a 10K monthly salary are not enough to fill two basketball teams. I'm one of those "Get off my lawn" dudes who doesn't believe in paying college athletes, so maybe I have too old school a mindset for this.

Maybe he should start a shop lifting anonymous class for anyone with the last name Ball. And then a class on how to be a decent human being, instead of pushing his medicore kids on the world of basketball........who buys his shit anyway?........anyone.....anyone?

Isn't this the G league? Or is this for kids under 18?
Also we need something like this for football badly.

"hey kid, come play pro basketball in Sioux Falls BFE or be knee deep in co-eds at UCLA, Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, etc etc etc"
