Maverick Carter Advising Investors To Rival NBA By Forming An International Basketball League: Seeking $5 Billion

A group of investors being advised by Maverick Carter is seeking to raise $5 billion from private capital sources to form an international basketball league to rival the NBA.

Maverick Carter, a business partner of LeBron James, is reportedly advising investors on the creation of a new international basketball league that would rival the NBA.
