LaVar Ball said that he is creating the Ball's Junior Basketball Association, a private league fully funded by his Big Baller Brand.
The league us for nationally ranked player who have graduated from high school but don't want to go to college.

Per ESPN, LaVar plans to pay the lowest ranked player a salary of $3,000 a month and the best player $10,000 a month, Ball said. Ball is looking for 80 players to fill 10 teams that will seek to play at NBA arenas in Los Angeles, Dallas, Brooklyn and Atlanta.
"Getting these players is going to be easy," Ball told ESPN. "This is giving guys a chance to get a jumpstart on their career, to be seen by pro scouts, and we're going to pay them because someone has to pay these kids."
Ball said the rules of his league will follow those of the NBA instead of college -- 12 minute quarters and a pro 3-point line.

Ball said since Big Baller Brand is promoting the league, all players must agree to wear only Big Baller Brand products, including BBB shoes on the court.
"We'll give it to them all," Ball said. "They'll be wearing our uniform, our shoes, our T-shirts and our hoodies."
