Fight against the NBA! James makes a big move! Raise $5 billion to form a new league

On July 31, according to Yahoo Sports and other media reports, James and Jokic's agent Raznatovic met on a French yacht. What the two discussed was not Jokic and James joining forces, but to form a new international basketball league to fight against the NBA! James's business partner Mafrick Carter also participated in the meeting.

The league will be a brand new basketball tour, racing in 8 different cities around the world, similar to Formula 1 racing. There are 6 men's teams and 6 women's teams in total, and the scale will not be too large in the early stage. This league is full-time, and active NBA and WNBA players are not allowed to participate part-time, but players are allowed to hold shares. The NBA clearly stipulates that active players cannot own shares in the team. Recently, Curry and Jaylen Brown said they hope the NBA can change the rules and allow players to acquire team shares. Mafric Carter is helping the event find investors, planning to raise $5 billion in startup capital, and multiple investment institutions have expressed support.

Why did James look for Jokic's agent? Because Raznatovic has a great influence in Europe, he has many well-known European players, including Clippers center Zubac. Half of the eight cities in this new league come from Europe, and James needs Raznatovic's connections in Europe!

Not only does James want to enter Europe, the NBA official is also taking action. On July 30, NBA famous reporter Marc Stein broke the news: "In the next three years, the NBA will hold 6 regular season games in Europe to further expand the NBA's influence in Europe. In addition, Adam Xiao Hua is discussing the establishment of an independent NBA European League." The basketball market in Europe is indeed getting bigger and bigger. The existing European basketball league has a stable audience and is attracting more NBA players to join, and the contracts offered have risen. But it is not that easy for James or Adam Xiao to get a piece of the pie. And some fans are worried: when players hold shares, there will be more counterfeits!

It can be foreseen that James will definitely have conflicts with the NBA European League. Maybe the two sides will work together in the end. What do you think?
