LaVar hints at starting Big Baller Brand alternative to NBA

LaVar Ball appears to be toying with the idea of launching another basketball league.

The Big Baller Brand CEO recently spoke to SB Nation's Ricky O'Donnell about his Junior Basketball Association and future plans for his business empire, which could include a rival league to the NBA.

"And then all the sudden this league pops up, something that has the potential to be one of the greatest things ever on the fact that maybe in 5-10 years, maybe we have 30 teams," Ball said. "How about I create my own league now. And now you have two leagues like we had the ABA and NBA. It has potential. If the money's right, they got something with $10 to $15 million per year. Now I can make the Big Baller League. Now I can create another 450 jobs, now the NBA has the compete with the Big Baller League. That is a possibility. We have the potential to do that.

"Look at Blockbuster and Netflix, they're the same thing. It's like Uber vs. taxis. Same thing. But this is basketball, so they don't believe it can happen."

Ball went on to say he's not interested in making a lot of money.

"The money is not important. I want to build the biggest empire ever," he said. "They gonna look at it and be like, where did this start? When did guys start coming into the league with their own brand?"
