      LaVar Ball’s basketball league unofficially died today when the NBA announced that the G League would be willing to sign players — who are 18 but not yet an NBA eligible 19 — to a 5-month, $125,000 contract.

          Nope. No elite players were going to his league. All G-League did was raise salary from $35k to $125k.

          No his league helped JUCO players get paid. Not one top prospect except his son played in this league.

          But does the NBA make this move if Lavar didn’t create the JBA? I get what Shaun is saying.

          Absolutely & hopefully the G-League will help push (motivate) the NCAA to pay its top student athletes, instead of the way they’ve been allowed to exploit them. @shaunking

          No, I think this is more about the NCAA not fixing "one and done" when they had the chance, IMO. NBA/G-League probably got tired of waiting for them.

          G league has been around since 2006. The only thing that changed was the money, the jba had no impact, at all. I don't have anything against Lavar Ball, but his fans are scraping the barrel to exonerate him
