Surprised there isn't a thread about this.

"The structure of the league would reportedly consist of six men's teams and six women's teams, touring across eight host cities around the world. Where it gets interesting is that the players will reportedly receive equity in the new league, but won't be able to continue competing in the NBA if they sign up."

Is this his attempt to slap at the NBA?

Is it an effort to find a way to get his 7 rings?

Is it a way to get Bronny some playing time?

Flopping, whining, traveling, and stiffarming must be allowed in this league.

On one hand I don't think there's ever been a better time to strike while the iron is hot and form a new league.

On the other hand if Lebron and his people are leading the way I'm almost certain it's going to be lame and gay.

A 3-on-3 Half Court League will be the best and ideal.

1- pg, off guard, 2 guard.
2-Center/PF position.
3- SF/ point forward.

Is that your attempt to create another thread about LeBron because he is the only topic that gets this forum going OP?

Do you not think that the start of a new pro basketball league that will look to poach stars from the NBA is a good topic for discussion on a basketball forum?

Why do you care? And the reason why you call me a Fakkit is because you know that I am getting to you and winning the arguments about Lebron so you have to try to use derogatory terms. I got in your head.

I'm pretty sure Lebron already started a new league back in 2011 when he decided to take one of the biggest shortcut in basketball history.

I'm interested in the rules format, aka defensive 3, hand-checking, etc.. would be cool if they went a little old school
