[u/doctorjdmoney]

Does business partner = Saudis? They love a good sports venture to sink a boatload of cash in

[u/Ralphredimix_Da_G → u/doctorjdmoney]

I look forward to the first game between the Qatar Bitcoins vs the Bahrain Exxons at the Riyadh Air Arena!!

[u/Ralphredimix_Da_G → u/Ralphredimix_Da_G]

Tonight’s game features league MVP Pat “Dubai Chocolate” Beverley!!

[u/machines_breathe → u/Ralphredimix_Da_G]

Word is that Beef Supreme himself might come out of retirement.

[u/HotChicksPlayingBass → u/Ralphredimix_Da_G]

Thanks for joining the inaugural game of the OMBBA! (Ow My Balls Basketball Association)

[u/BowwwwBallll → u/HotChicksPlayingBass]

Thanks, OMBBA!

[u/Successful-Ad-5239 → u/HotChicksPlayingBass]

SHUT UP IM BAITIN

[u/Ordinary-Leading7405 → u/Ralphredimix_Da_G]

Please note the concessions no longer serve Nachos with Bacon Bits, please try our Halal Fries.

[u/Any_Asparagus8267 → u/Ralphredimix_Da_G]

Every game is played in AAAAHHHHH BOOOOOOO DAAAAAAAH BEEEEEEE

[u/marcusr550 → u/Any_Asparagus8267]

Four sheiks running in full regalia, each waving a massive flag bearing an indecipherable symbol…

[u/chupacadabradoo → u/Ralphredimix_Da_G]

And the teams have two centers who fall down all the time…

[u/sirdubweiser → u/chupacadabradoo]

God damn

[u/compute_fail_24 → u/sirdubweiser]

Took me a second and then... wow

[u/Derm1123 → u/chupacadabradoo]

Conjoined columns?

[u/reverendloc → u/chupacadabradoo]

In that case, they must be constantly getting traded.

[u/shupadupah → u/reverendloc]

What in the WORLD are you talking about?

[u/Enter_My_Fryhole → u/chupacadabradoo]

Thinking out loud here so feel free to stop me if im sounding crazy but...

What if their numbers are 11/9?

[u/PullupClub → u/chupacadabradoo]

That got dark quick.

[u/ericwphoto → u/chupacadabradoo]

I wonder what a good nickname would be? 🤔

[u/Lil_S_curve2 → u/ericwphoto]

Building Brothers?

Too many syllables...

[u/justduett → u/Lil_S_curve2]

Towering Tandem? Still feels wordy…

[u/4s54o73 → u/ericwphoto]

One is called 'Jet'. The other is 'Fuel'.

[u/Frickinheckdude → u/ericwphoto]

Human lefts

[u/margalolwut → u/Ralphredimix_Da_G]

Fucking court gonna be littered with sponsors lol

[u/rattpackfan301 → u/Ralphredimix_Da_G]

Their team and arena names will change each season depending on the sponsors.

[u/Mister-SS → u/doctorjdmoney]

It definitely wouldn't surprise me just look how much it impacted golf when they got involved

[u/cjcfman → u/Mister-SS]

Especially if they adopt a soccer or a college basketball model. Like who wouldnt want to make like 100 mill just playing every weekend compared to a nba schedule 

[u/BigLan2 → u/cjcfman]

They've attracted some big names to the Saudi league, but they're mostly coming to it as a "retirement league" and the teams are far from being competitive.

From a players perspective though, I don't know how you pass up the mountain of cash they're offering.

[u/jtmj121 → u/BigLan2]

Having to move my wife and child there would be a no go.

[u/chezicrator → u/jtmj121]

Ultimately why Messi turned it down. His wife was like helllll nahhhhhh

[u/Leading_Put- → u/chezicrator]

Plus he actually had options to get similar money in the long run... Unlike Ronaldo

[u/YashVardhan99 → u/Leading_Put-]

Please explain

[u/halfman_halfboat → u/YashVardhan99]

The Apple+ money

[u/The_Homie_Tito → u/jtmj121]

I'm sure a lot of players felt the same until they saw how many zeros were on the check

[u/efdxnz → u/jtmj121]

They don’t live in normal suburbs and have unlimited fly in and out potential. First class, private flights.

[u/randomactofchaos → u/[deleted]]

It’s coming to US soccer. USL is going to a pyramid in 2027. Promotion and relegation. Hopefully it bumps out MLS.

[u/raptearer → u/randomactofchaos]

It won't, MLS honestly doing better than USL, and it's already a tier down in the US Soccer pyramid so it won't replace it unless MLS just straight collapses, which I just can't imagine anytime soon. This isn't MLR.

[u/hella_sj → u/raptearer]

Do people really think there are people that don't watch MLS specifically because of lack of pro/rel?

I can't wait for USL to actually try it to see if it makes any difference. I doubt it will, but it's good that someone is trying.

[u/TonyzTone → u/hella_sj]

Yeah, pro/rel supporters don’t realize that system only works when there is more interest in the sport than there are ways to keep realistically schedule organized teams of equal competition.

The system developed in Europe where there was so much interest in the sport that sometimes singles neighborhoods had multiple competing clubs with supporters. Those supporters weren’t just fans with scarves but literally dues paying members cheering on their friends and neighbors agains the rivals around the corner.

A few decades of that and it was just too unruly to have everyone playing everyone so divisions were developed for scheduling purposes, and to keep well resourced teams who could travel across country to compete from wasting time with unserious hobbyists.

Support in pro/rel systems has to be so deep that you’ll still fill the stands even if you’re an amateur club.

[u/RPO777 → u/TonyzTone]

The only American sport where Pro/Rel would be realistic is probably American Football. Even then tradition would make it very difficult, and the economics make it impossible.

That being said, the Cleveland Browns being relegated to College Football, with the Ohio State Buckeyes replacing them would be kinda hilarious.

[u/BeefInGR → u/randomactofchaos]

It won't bump out MLS, but it absolutely will wake them up. Looking at losing access to Detroit, Oakland, Indianapolis, Tampa, Sacramento, San Antonio, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Milwaukee/Madison and possibly Phoenix. Not to mention teams in Orange County, Omaha and possibly Maine in the future who will eat market shares of long established MLS sides. Plus, an option for MLS substitutes to be first team players.

It doesn't have to topple MLS to force MLS to change.

[u/ShillinTheVillain → u/doctorjdmoney]

I mean, why not LIV basketball. The golf league is doing so well!

[u/somagol40891 → u/ShillinTheVillain]

Maxi golf is fun!!!!

[u/fergehtabodit → u/somagol40891]

We cut our ligaments so we can shoot from further!

[u/AAA_Dolfan → u/doctorjdmoney]

I mean the moment I saw international business partner you have to assume it’s the Chinese or the Saudis. LeBron is for sale

[u/oandakid718 → u/doctorjdmoney]

Saudis initiative has been to whitewash all sports on the day that MBS took the reigns

[u/Walterkovacs1985 → u/doctorjdmoney]

More like a plane load.

[u/xkmasada → u/doctorjdmoney]

I hear that Kim Jong Il is a big basketball fan, so don’t forget the Pyongyang franchise!

[u/nemosdrone → u/doctorjdmoney]

sportswashing

[u/Musicman12456 → u/doctorjdmoney]

They want to take over every major league and barely anyone can say no... How can you with billions thrown in your face. Takes a man with serious morals to say no.

[u/LeftHandedScissor → u/Musicman12456]

Because the product is multitudes inferior even with all the money in the world. Turns out that no matter how much money you throw at athletes it's tough to get fans to buy into a league that has no history or tradition.

[u/JerHat → u/Musicman12456]

Yep. Look at LIV golf… has anyone ever actually seen an event?

I see more of their golfers doing stuff on YouTube than I see of them playing actual competitive golf.

[u/tenclubber → u/JerHat]

I have stopped on it for a few seconds several times out of curiosity. It's not a good product. It's closer to the golf event at the end of Happy Gilmore 2 than the PGA tour.

[u/TheMightyHornet → u/doctorjdmoney]

LeBron and ignoring human rights abusers, name a more profitable duo.

[u/[deleted]]

Mac McClung bout to be their marquee player

[u/TheKingInTheNorth → u/[deleted]]

Anyone know what The Professor is up to these days?

[u/xPhilt3rx → u/TheKingInTheNorth]

He has a cool IG page

[u/worfres_arec_bawrin → u/xPhilt3rx]

Yep, still clowning dudes. Love to see it

[u/travishummel → u/worfres_arec_bawrin]

If I saw him playing I would non-stop talk trash to him. It would be an honor to get crossed super hard and fall down. I’d ask for him to sign my ankle and maybe get a tattoo

[u/def11879 → u/TheKingInTheNorth]

He’s a YouTuber

[u/automoebeale]

Building the Maxi league?

[u/AchtungCloud → u/automoebeale]

Isn’t it weird that the plot of that movie was influenced by LIV…but then had cameos from PGA and LIV golfers?

[u/FakingHappiness513 → u/AchtungCloud]

Seemed like a lot of the full swing guys were in it, could have been part of the Netflix contract.

[u/ironictitle → u/AchtungCloud]

Yes, so odd to see Bryson and Brooks on the Tour Team. Someone in another thread mentioned those golfers were featured in Full Swing which was distributed by Netflix (Like HG2) so maybe it was a contract thing with that.

[u/Dense_Worldliness_57 → u/ironictitle]

I still find it strange that their Saudi overlords and liv contracts would allow them to disparage liv in such a blatant manner.. even though they were portrayed as part of the the good guys they were still playing against the upstart tour baddies. A bit odd all round I reckon

[u/TURKEYSAURUS_REX → u/AchtungCloud]

Almost like the LIV guys don’t actually care about that tour and will do anything for money.

[u/CitizenCue → u/AchtungCloud]

The LIV guys don’t care about LIV - they enjoy the money, not the league.

[u/1derful → u/AchtungCloud]

Turns out that LIV golfers will do anything for money.

[u/AdLeading3824 → u/automoebeale]

Bron needs that ligament cheat code to fix his swing

[u/userlivewire]

Isn't there already a competing league?

[u/purplenyellowrose909 → u/userlivewire]

People are trying to blow this up and milk it into a LIV vs PGA esque rivalry.

They're essentially just competing to get the top Euroleague teams into an S tier European league and have them play each other more often. I highly, highly doubt this affects the NBA and results in like Anthony Edwards or Luka Doncic going overseas to play for Berlin or some shit.

[u/taskmetro → u/purplenyellowrose909]

That is what the NBA is doing, not the LeBron venture.

[u/cujukenmari → u/purplenyellowrose909]

LIV was big news when it first started and they made all those big signings but I don't think it's really done anything since besides make the golfers who signed on much richer.

[u/Momik → u/userlivewire]

That’s true. Bronny’s already under contract 😬

[u/xenon2456 → u/userlivewire]

What league

[u/External-Goal-3948]

Fall of '26? They're going to launch an international basketball league with 6 teams playing in 8 cities that directly competes with the NFL?

Uh huh.

[u/sodaG123 → u/External-Goal-3948]

The NBA’s version of the XFL?

[u/H34thcliff → u/sodaG123]

You must be too young to have had the pleasure to watch Slamball.

[u/Syric13 → u/H34thcliff]

You can call my ACLs Natalie Imbruglia because they are torn after hearing the name Slamball

[u/PradleyBitts → u/Syric13]

First time this sentence has ever been written

[u/HomerJSimpson3 → u/PradleyBitts]

What a time to be alive

[u/itsfinallyfinals → u/PradleyBitts]

Big if true

[u/Ok_Slide4905 → u/Syric13]

Born too late to explore space.

Born too early to discover the world.

Born just in time to read this comment.

[u/PapasGotABrandNewNag → u/H34thcliff]

I was just telling my boy at work today about how we would move our trampoline under the hoop at my mom’s house because it was built into the ground.

That was so much fun, but holy shit was that dangerous.

Slamball on late night Spike Tv and then hopefully they would turn on some super deep cut documentary on WWF and Lita or Trish Stratus would pop up, scantily clad.

I miss being 9 years old lol.

[u/quesocaliente → u/H34thcliff]

Slamball was on TV like last year.

[u/Royal-Student-8082 → u/H34thcliff]

www.slamballleague.com

Guess who's back.

[u/galagapilot → u/sodaG123]

(Vince McMahon voice)

"this... is... the....X...B...A..."

[u/fergehtabodit → u/sodaG123]

NBA version of LIV? Bring back trash talk, short shorts ot just shirts and skins...5 teams show up, play to 30 and winner keeps the court, colorful balls, play music the whole time, not just at breaks, 14 second shot clock... I have more ideas

[u/joemeteorite8 → u/fergehtabodit]

I’d rather watch And1 mixtapes from the early 2000s

[u/Syric13 → u/joemeteorite8]

Hot Sauce is 49 years old

Damn

[u/AAronm19 → u/joemeteorite8]

https://youtu.be/hLCGcj7dVc0?si=LWIHjvTkcotziMtS

[u/fergehtabodit → u/[deleted]]

Move the line to 30ft. Beyond half court line is 4pts.

[u/SweetVarys → u/External-Goal-3948]

If they are looking for international fans competing with nfl doesn’t matter, completely different time zones and markets

[u/brmgp1 → u/External-Goal-3948]

It's not about making a profit in the new league, as we've seen with LIV golf. They will light $1B on fire just to get a seat at the table, and legitimize themselves with American sponsors, politicians, etc. Nobody wants to be a dance partner with the Saudis with their current reputation but they're trying to change the perception through legitimizing themselves in the sports world. It's a massive investment but ultimately a tiny percentage of the PIF fund, and it's done very strategically. Not saying it'll work but that's the idea. In 10 years they plan to be knee deep in the sports landscape

[u/EMU_Emus → u/External-Goal-3948]

You've got the wrong football if we are talking about international fans

[u/margalolwut → u/External-Goal-3948]

MOTHAFUCKING 5 PT SHOT DAWG

POWER UP PLAY WHEN YOU CAN JUST RUN DOWN THE COURT WITHOUT BOUNCING THE BALL

FREETHROWS MADE WITHEYES CLOSED = 3X

ULTRA SUBS AVAILABLE - SACRIFICE 2 TIME OUTS TO SUB OUT THE PLAYER OF YOUR CHOICE FOR A PLAYER OF YOUR CHOICE

Where do I sign??

[u/GoldenPresidio → u/External-Goal-3948]

It’s an international league, NFL isn’t important bruh. What’s more important is they don’t compete with soccer

[u/Jorihe84]

How to go broke fast as shit

[u/Itsmedudeman → u/Jorihe84]

He’s definitely not fronting that much of his money. He’ll probably trade his brand and name for some equity.

[u/spaceneenja → u/Itsmedudeman]

Lebron Basketball Association (LBA)???

[u/eattheambrosia → u/spaceneenja]

LeBasketball Association

[u/sevbenup → u/eattheambrosia]

National Bronsketball Association?

[u/royal_10_N-bombs → u/spaceneenja]

Major LeBron Basketball

MLB

[u/margalolwut → u/Itsmedudeman]

He doesn’t even have $5B lol.

I’d be shocked if he’d front more than $50M at this.

[u/DufflebagBoy23 → u/margalolwut]

He doesn’t even have $5B lol.

What a fucking loser that guy

[u/rybres123 → u/Jorihe84]

Yeah, lebron ain’t putting up a penny for this “league”. He’s gonna get a Ronaldo sized contract to go play for 2 years or something

[u/HereGoesNothing69 → u/Jorihe84]

LeBron's about to go 2011 NBA finals on his own networth

[u/ChampionsWrath → u/HereGoesNothing69]

If that means Dirk suddenly makes boat loads of money then I’m here for it

[u/JustADutchRudder → u/ChampionsWrath]

Everytime LeBron screws up Dirk wakes up with something nice. Sometimes he wakes up with new money, sometimes he wakes up with a new championship ring under his pillow.

[u/Liimbo → u/Jorihe84]

Apart from how well it may or may not do, this is bad for basketball and everyone who cares about it. The NBA is also now considering doing the same thing either first or to directly compete with it. This just means the existing great leagues and teams in Europe with fans and histories and rivalries are going to be swallowed by billionaires coming in and creating a new soulless league nobody cares about. It'd be one thing if it was like NBA Africa where they're trying to grow basketball in a place that needs more infrastructure for the sport, but this is not that.

[u/princesshoran → u/Jorihe84]

From fast break to fast broke

[u/SarcasticBench]

Anything to get Bronny to play more

[u/Eat--The--Rich-- → u/SarcasticBench]

That's what xboxs are for, for all the kids not good enough to really make it

[u/datruerex → u/SarcasticBench]

This is borderline Bruce Wayne/ Batman behavior. Classic if bronny can’t play in nba then I’m just gonna start my own basketball league lol

[u/CranhamorBlakely]

Happy Gilmore 2?!

[u/No-Needleworker5429 → u/CranhamorBlakely]

Greg Norman accomplished this feat, no more than an hour ago.

[u/sgrams04 → u/No-Needleworker5429]

Well good for Greg Norm..muh muh muh my GOD

[u/ZDTreefur → u/CranhamorBlakely]

The net will move around, the paint will be a trampoline, unlimited subs that don't need timeouts, the ball has spikes, and the three point line is a jet of fire.

[u/CranhamorBlakely → u/ZDTreefur]

I mean, half of that is just Slamball. Was that what it was called? I just had an intense flashback to my childhood watching these mofos jump around on trampolines dunking and shit

[u/Whiskeyskip]

How to turn $5b into $500m

[u/weshric → u/Whiskeyskip]

$50m

[u/stockmonkeyking → u/Whiskeyskip]

Who gives a shit? It’s $5b going back into economy rather than sitting in Saudis lap or whoever that’s funding it.

Let em plot

[u/mnmr17]

5B investment seems like chump change to the kind of investment you would need to make a competing league. Hell the lakers alone just sold for 10B this summer and that’s only 1 of the 30 teams.

[u/dukie5021 → u/mnmr17]

They sold a 50% stake of the franchise at a $10b valuation. So the buss's sold their share for $5b.

Edit : not that it matters, the Lakers are still worth the entire amount that this league is being started with. But that headline/story was always misleading.

[u/Sine_Habitus → u/mnmr17]

Well they aren't buying the teams though. They are competing with them. They see the 10b price tag and think that is way too much. This would be like if you saw eggs for some crazy high price, and then decided to buy your own chickens... Even if you can't compete with the factory chickens, you might be able to over time and you don't need to build a whole factory to start.

[u/Momik → u/mnmr17]

This is why Jordan’s the GOAT—cause I don’t wanna read about LeBron’s investments

[u/mm825]

Lebron basically being the villain in Happy Gillmore 2 

[u/TortyPapa]

Let him lose his money. Dumbass. Just ride off into the sunset with your billion dollars. Greedy F.

[u/Mead_Man_Detroit]

All this to make Bronny look good, sheesh.

[u/Bobgoulet → u/Mead_Man_Detroit]

The shame of it is Bronny probably could develop into a decent player. He's athletic and a good defender, if he develops the 3pt shot, he's a valuable piece.

[u/PennyG → u/Bobgoulet]

If my aunt had balls she’d be my uncle.

[u/HowsY0urSister]

How have things been going been going for Mr Cube?

[u/DJSANDROCK → u/HowsY0urSister]

Well he has tv deals with CBS and Vice TV, on top of brand sponsorship, I would say not bad.

[u/TACOlogy → u/DJSANDROCK]

I was going to say I don’t personally watch it but whenever I do see highlights it looks like they get a good turnout and have some big names. Older but still big names.

[u/yoda-kobe-obi → u/HowsY0urSister]

Looks to be going pretty well it's still going with no help from the nba

[u/Dr_Mantis_Teabaggin]

Will flopping be encouraged?

[u/spreadthaseed → u/Dr_Mantis_Teabaggin]

MUST double dribble and flop in order to score points.

[u/eternali17]

Reddit is allergic to reading articles

[u/Sc00ty_Puff_Sr → u/eternali17]

Why read articles when you can focus the entirety of your energy on the hottest of hot takes?

[u/narcotic_sea]

More Saudi sportswashing. How unAmerican.

[u/Pretend-Disaster2593]

Going to be like that XFL thing. Fail.

[u/spreadthaseed]

This won’t be good for LeBron’s legacy…

-ESPN

[u/Harambefan69]

Trying to create a League that Bronny can compete in

[u/nockeenockee]

Imagine creating another LIV golf situation on purpose.

[u/beaver820]

Waste of money. They're not going to get the star players to jump ship until they are way past their prime. They're already making $50+ million in the NBA a year, not including endorsements. They'll get some 2nd string guys, guys on the downside of their career and guys who didn't make the NBA, then what's going to be the attraction? Maybe a 4 point shot? The novelty will wear off in a month and it'll tank like the original XFL.

[u/RedDizzlah]

Just look up ice cubes 3 on 3 league and all the trouble he's had competing with the NBA.

[u/StuntmanReese]

Just what erbody needs, another trash league.

[u/PrincipleOne5816]

Only difference, flopping is allowed

[u/Jibber_Fight]

That’s a stupid use of money but you go right ahead bud. Can somebody please give me $5 billion dollars? I promise I’ll do something more worthwhile with it.

[u/Jdenning1]

Will they call travels?

[u/just_cows]

All the bootlicking and favoritism the NBA showed LeBron for two decades only for him to launch a competitor on his way out the door.... Shameless.

[u/copperblood]

Jordan > LeBron

[u/Mountain-Detail-8213]

Lebum

[u/Big-Worm-]

Meanwhile ice cube is yelling into the void

[u/fundiedundie]

FBA - Flopping Basketball League?

[u/7putt67]

Bronny gonna be a starter!

[u/fb1izzard]

Wow what a low move. For all the nba did for this man.

[u/Hobonics]

Thanks so much LeBron, really look forward to you lowering the overall quality of the NBA by creating some new bullshit.

nevermygoat

[u/brickbacon]

This isn’t a serious proposal. Five billion sounds like a lot, but it’s not much when you are talking about players who are making $50+mm/year.

The real goal here seems to be twisting someone’s arm into letting him buy an NBA franchise (expansion or otherwise), or to get in on the ground floor of the new European NBA league that will start soon. I think once the NBA is able to wrest Real Madrid and a couple other from the current EuroLeague to launch their own product.

[u/TortyPapa]

The only way I see this succeeding is if you literally change so many rules and twist the game into something new and interesting or it’ll never work. Maybe 4 on 4 with multiple nets.

[u/Cpaid_zula]

They better not steal Red Panda or there will be hell to pay!

[u/CollateralSandwich]

That's a helluva way to go broke. Good luck guys. You're gonna need it

[u/babypho]

Lavar's ball league can directly feed into this new rival NBA league!

[u/Skidpalace]

What a dick. Fuck up the whole league just to make a shit load of money.

[u/beebs44]

And you wanna be the GOAT?

/facepalm

[u/BillyATX88]

This man will do anything to get out of MJ’s shadow

[u/_Jedi_]

If LeBron is involved it's sure to flop.

[u/PrometheusAborted]

Dude will do anything to make sure Bronny Jr becomes a star

[u/JJHUSN]

Has to start a league for Bronny so doesn't get cut by Lakers

[u/great1nono]

Its LeBron james, I bet it will FLOP

[u/ajour7]

This is the move of someone who thinks they won the GOAT debate. Destroy the league and maybe all of basketball so no one can ever threaten your title.

[u/Coxch805]

fuck lebron

[u/Counthermula]

For a guy who is so desperate to be seen as the GOAT he sure does a lot of stupid shit to tarnish his reputation.

[u/farmadiazepine]

This guy is rivaling the league that gave him everything. What a POS.

[u/ChasedWarrior → u/farmadiazepine]

Classic Lebron biting the hand that feed him.

[u/AvacadMmmm]

Is this mental illness?

[u/SeeYouOn16]

Do it! This is going so well for LIV Golf.

[u/skeetermcbeater]

$6 bil but some of these players contacts already hit 9 figures. How will they even compete? They’ll need wholly new players as the ones receiving big money and attention won’t leave their secure spot for a place in LeBron’s Flimsy League.

[u/andresmachiz]

Hasn’t LeBron seen Happy Gilmore 2?

[u/Dramatic-County-1284]

Damn Bron is skipping the minority owner arc and going straight to league owner. Wonder why Jordan didn’t think of this?

[u/CaptainQuasi]

Wouldn’t they have to strike a deal with those same nba owners to use the arenas?

[u/Ninestonine]

So nothing to worry about.

[u/spaceocean99]

Lesaudi

[u/DrJulius-ABK]

Hope there are no skeletons in LeBron’s closet

[u/marshallkrich]

XFL of Basketball!

[u/shandub85]

Dude’s so obsessed with not being the GOAT he started another league lol

[u/candylandmine]

I wonder what Nike thinks of this.

[u/Rough_Study_8958]

Why would you want to watch a league with a few super teams in it? Boring. They talked about a similar thing in European football with the big teams with a rival league. It might work with golf.

[u/free_billstickers]

Didn't ice cube already do this?

[u/human1023]

This can be good.

They need a 1 vs 1 league.

[u/fjtblessed]

I’m assuming they’re trying to make the equivalent of the European Super League but NBA

[u/PizzaCatTacoUno]

LIV deez basketball nuts

[u/chimayoso]

Ok vince lol

[u/rhonnypudding]

Wonder if this is leverage to ensure he gets a new Vegas expansion team.

[u/Tcartier23]

Do it, and Do It in Africa l, Why Not

[u/dwaynewaynerooney]

Damn. He really want bronny to get some shine, huh? Good parenting, I guess…

[u/kalo_todo]

i see, he watched Happy Gilmore 2 and took the wrong take from it

[u/banal_remarks]

Wnba players raging right now
