See that LaMelo Ball an 18 year old hot NBA prospect (predicted by some to go No. 1 pick), who skipped the normal US College path to play a season in the Australian NBL, just purchased part ownership of his Aussie team Illawara Hawks.
Pretty amazing comment amongst that article.
Ball’s arrival in the NBL helped the league set several viewership and attendance records. The head of the league said the NBL received $1.4 billion in global media deals after Ball joined.
