Lavar Ball plans to launch new pro basketball league next summer

Lavar Ball plans to launch a new pro basketball league for high school graduates next summer.

The “Junior Basketball Association” will pay players  “up to $10,000 per month,” according to a  release from Big Baller Brand, which of course will sponsor the league. The lowest-ranked player will receive $3,000 a month, ESPN reported.

The league has no venues rented and ticket prices have not been set, ESPN reported.

“All nationally ranked high school seniors, whose main goal are to reach the NBA, will be offered an opportunity to join the JBA, turning pro straight out of high school and bypassing the usual college pit stop,” according to a release.
