James has called investors to launch a new basketball league! Plans to compete with the NBA and will officially start next fall

Beijing time on September 25, less than a month before the start of the new NBA regular season. Earlier today, famous reporter Brian Windhorst revealed on the show that James is calling on investors to launch a new basketball league and plans to compete with the NBA!

According to previous reports, as early as July this year, James, his business partner Mafric Carter and Nikola Jokic's agent Raznatovic discussed a new International Basketball League plan led by Carter.

The league will be a "full-time" event, planned to be played in eight different cities by six men's teams and six women's teams. Unlike the emerging women's basketball league Unrivaled. Unrivaled's schedule allows players to participate in new leagues and NBA/WNBA games at the same time, while NBA/WNBA players are not allowed to participate in this event. This league is likened to LIV golf or Formula One, where the team will stay in one city for a week or a weekend before heading to another city for a race.

Regarding this news, famous reporter Brian Windhorst said on the show: James and his business partner Maverick Carter are planning to form a brand new international basketball league, which is planned to officially launch in the fall of 2026. The investment team aims to create a league that can compete with the NBA. They do not intend to position it as a homegrown league, but rather want to incorporate European basketball's style. ”

It is worth mentioning that Brain Windhorst also stated earlier this month that the new season may be the last season of James' career, and he is likely to go to other leagues to play. Obviously, the new basketball league led by James himself is likely to be the "other leagues" mentioned by Brain Windhorst.
