@trigonis30 I am talking about the pro player, creating a system that the current player can eventually tap into.
Magic Johnson needed Dr Buss to grow his business acumen.
KD/Bron/DRose etc have access to rooms elite hs players are not getting into as products for circuits.
Dinos, in the ESPN article about futures D Rose said the players will be paid “life changing” money. So far the NIL payments for players from Nike, Adidas etc have been lower numbers than “life changing.” Do you think the shoe circuits will pony up and try to compete with futures? Or will they just back down if the numbers are that large.
This is it!
This is what I have been advocating for.
PLAYERS own teams in their areas?
Vertically integrate training, playing, financial literacy, business mentorship, NIL representation, VC opportunities, etc
Time for @TheNBPA starts a competing league.
Take it all over.
First at @FOS: There's a new youth boys basketball league coming to town, backed by Nike athletes LeBron James & Kevin Durant.
Futures Basketball League will launch in April. Its season will overlap with Nike's competing EYBL.
Read about it in The Memo:

@seeznin503 Like soccer? Where a few men control the destinies of every kid? I’d bet Oregon aau puts more kids in school than the Oregon soccer club cartel
@SkinsHoops86 Watching his contemporaries over-penetrate and hit the ground multiple times a games and think he’s brilliant.
The ground is undefeated…. Will take years off of their legs in the long run.
@SkinsHoops86 Had some intel….franchises were sold to former players.
This is the equivalent of Master P, Cash Money, etc owing their own labels.
The CASH COWS should have been taken over grassroots instead of PE.

@XaviercMiller Whatever you think of his supposed nepotism, he is one of the best in the world in a very specialized profession.
Getting heckled by a mediocre achiever is comical.
Stay away from the gimmicks. If the reps don’t translate to the game, what’s the point? Check résumés. Talk to current and former clients. Don’t confuse good social media content with good player development. #ididntstutter
