Maverick Carter, a renowned business manager and longtime associate of LeBron James, is spearheading an ambitious $5 billion effort to establish a new International Basketball League. This groundbreaking venture aims to create a dynamic and innovative sports league that will feature both men’s and women’s teams competing across the globe.
The proposed league will consist of six men’s teams and six women’s teams, playing in eight cities around the world on a rotating schedule similar to that of Formula 1. The unique format is designed to showcase basketball talent on an international stage, attracting fans from diverse regions and promoting the sport’s global growth.

Interestingly, LeBron James himself is not directly involved in this new league. Although James has expressed interest in becoming an NBA owner after his playing career, he is not participating in this particular project. Instead, the league will benefit from Carter’s strategic vision and extensive experience in the sports and entertainment industry.
The groundbreaking idea
Carter’s involvement in this initiative underscores his commitment to expanding the reach of basketball and providing new opportunities for athletes and fans alike. The league’s innovative approach aims to offer a fresh and exciting experience for basketball enthusiasts while fostering greater gender equality in the sport.
As the group of investors continues to raise the necessary funds, anticipation is building around the potential impact of this new league on the global basketball landscape. With Carter at the helm, the project is poised to break new ground and redefine the future of international sports competition.
This of course will probably not sit well with the NBA’s idea to expand to Europe, South America or even Asia or with what FIBA is been trying to accomplish in recent years, however the buzz that this report has created is enough to consider it a possible success if it happens.
