If they could come up with an interesting new format for basketball that would be cool. First to 100 points wins games. Real skill challenge tournaments like a 3 point shoot out for millions. One on one games for millions. They could introduce the 4 point shot. Anything but another generic standard basketball league.

[QUOTE=Duderonomy;14814960]This story seems bs 1bil to play soccer for season? It's probably money laundering. Is there even another soccer player making over $80 mil a season? Even the WWE was only getting paid $60 mil a show to look bad for taking SA $$$[/QUOTE]
Saudi has been trying very hard to diversify its portfolio since oil business may not be as good as before anymore. That's oil money they want to invest in entertainment business.

The true currency is culture and people don't want Hollywood anymore.
The last Hollywood movie I watched was Dune 2 and before that Blade Runner 2.

Our culture erodes and it has value but military power is first to me, even tho things like religion survived much persecution and book burning. I’m sure things, great works etc, were lost. You gotta be able to defend your stuff. They take your women and your culture right after they tap u out.
Hollywood was probably doomed from the start, a place where culture is made is a faulty set up. Def good movies but imagine how many women and ideas/great works were swallowed or corrupted by that monster.

Inflation is a problem right now and what better way to erode confidence is to make it seem $$ seem worthless. NFTs and Paying a soccer player +800% what he's worth.
SA were buying western credibility with WWE and the PGA but even they can't lose $700 million on an athlete.

They did attempt to buy Kylian Mbappe out to play for one of their team for 1 billion euro a year. They already successfully lured Cristiano Ronaldo.

Re: The Saudis made the PGA bend the knee. Is the NBA immune?
Well Saudi's are destroying soccer right now which has even more money than basketball so I wouldn't say it's impossible.
Re: The Saudis made the PGA bend the knee. Is the NBA immune?
I just saw something on FB regarding the Saudis allegedly offering Harden a huge deal. It might be just someone trolling though. I can't confirm it's accuracy at all.
