Champions League set to debut in 2016 with former NBA players, 16 teams
When it comes to jobs that are hard to land, it doesn’t get much tougher than the NBA.
At most, there are 450 roster spots to be had by the world’s best players. Consider there were approximately 5,600 Division I men’s college players in 2014 in America alone, and you start to understand it’s nearly impossible to get hired in The Association.
Let alone stay there for as long as you’d like if you do get in.
Behold The Champions League, a non-NBA affiliated venture where the league’s chairman and CEO, Carl George, is hoping to provide family-friendly and affordable entertainment during the NBA’s downtime. The vision, expected to be announced formally today, looks like this.
