Lavar Ball's Biggest Scam: What Happened to the JBA?

[@MrSports]

I think the jba existed to get the ball brothers into the NBA. Once that task was completed the league itself had no further reason to keep going.

Lavar's fatal mistake was not considering that whatever the JBA could do, the NCAA and NBA G League could EASILY do better -- and did

[@djpandaphresh6354]

It wasn't a fatal mistake. Something had to be done, if anything he's helped a lot of kids get paid.

[@truthiscensored]

Warned people about Lavar when all this foolishness was going on...but everyone claim "I was a hater" and/or "I don't support a black man being a real father" nonsense... Like no that is NOT how you do business; his sons are not good basketball players; that JBL would last one year and when his sons quit the JBL would quit; and him and his sons was no where the level of Michael Jordan or Steph Curry let alone better than them People was in their feelings...years later Truth still undefeated

[@johnnyguitarwatson5288]

Is he smiling in his photo next to FRAUD in the dictionary 🤔🤨

[@frankbrown7121]

Lavar Ball benefited no one but him and his sons! So to hear people talk about him like he revolutionized something is ridiculous.. He didn’t have the financial resources to challenge no shoe company or no other basketball league. If so both would haven’t failed after one year..He talked a good game to promote his sons and I get that since he had 2 to make it to the NBA and that was impressive! But outside of that Lavar did nothing…

[@jaesonburd7165]

The JBA was Alan Foster's idea and he wanted to make it a business independent of the Ball boys, but Lavar did not want to invest any more money in paying players once his sons were done with the league. Lavar was focused on short money and this tanked the league.

[@H0DLTHED0R]

Common sense could see Lavar as a traveling oil snake salesman like in the decades past.

[@mateokelbaugh9766]

In short this was all a pathway so that Lavar's sons could become successful. He did not care about any of the other players in the league

[@coolbreeze3793]

Swish County just fired shots. 👀

[@marshinz5696]

My take is the JBA is why G Leaguers and College Athletes make more money now. You can call it a scam if you want. Hey, negativity sells so have at it.

[@frankbrown7121]

How? Please explain.. He didn’t have the financial means to compete with either..

[@James-ux5kv]

So sad that his dad destroyed his sons career with nonsense. Thats one greedy dad right there.

It’s either LaVar Ball is a con-man or in-over-his-head, either way, he’s one of the reasons I think all three of the Ball Bros. are completely overrated

[@anotherelvis]

How does the Overtime league compare to the JBA?

[@Golden_Ghoul]

Lavar is gonna ruin his sons lives just for money.

[@floydturner2957]

Lavar meant well, but relying on Alan Foster left everything doomed from the start. I feel for the players, but researching the background of many of the players, most were marginal players at lower levels who weren’t very productive at the schools they played. Of course their were a few exceptions. But it was by far a league of low major D1 and lower level talent. I believe most of the players have a disdain for Foster and have no issue with Ball

[@I.am_Groot]

Was if Foster setting the $500 price point? The BBB was a great idea but LaVar had no idea what he was doing

[@Brian-bq8tj]

This league was a great idea, just executed poorly

Imagine having the clout and money to start YOUR OWN LEAGUE and be taken seriously and then just piss it all away because you're already rich and you never really cared enough to just do a good job. For example: If the stands are half empty at $40 then you should be able to fill them at $15. I would have made them $5 for kids under 12, so entire families can come out and watch the show for a fraction of what it would cost for a movie night.

[@SirBallSoHard]

It was a great idea. If Alan foster wasn’t involved it may still be around today. Possibly the NBA G league copied they’re plan?
