James joins hands with Jokic s agent! This is going to do a big deal

Exclusive news from "FOS"!

Last week, there was a mysterious party on a yacht in France! At the party, James, Mafrick Carter (James's important business partner) and Jokic's agent Raznatovic.

The three are discussing planning a brand new International Basketball League. The brief plan for the league is: 1. 6 men's teams and 6 women's teams will compete in 8 different cities. 2. Adopt tour methods (similar to LIV golf and Formula 1 racing competitions) 3. Players of each team are allowed to obtain team equity 4. Recruiting investors around the world. Speaking of the past few days, when these yacht party pictures were posted, everyone saw James and Jokic's agents together, and they thought they were going to conspire to join forces in 2026.

Appointment Teacher: You won’t take me with you at the party!

James started planning for his business plan after his retirement? Sure enough, successful people are always preparing for the future.

The two partners James chose this time are quite reasonable. Maverick Carter, Carter is behind almost all of James' business behaviors after he became a professional player. James' wealth has accumulated to this level today. It has not been like other black players who have become rich overnight and went bankrupt overnight. Carter has made an indelible contribution.

And Jokic's agent Raznatovic has an extraordinary position in the European basketball world.

So, you can see James' ambition this time, right? ! According to Bloomberg, the upcoming league is expected to seek to raise $5 billion in funding. It has received support from investors including the Singapore government, SC Holdings, Riyadh Public Investment Fund, UBS Group, Skype founder Jeff Prentie and former Facebook executive Grady Burnett. The preparation time for this emerging league may be much earlier than we know. As early as February this year, the Financial Times reported that investors with Carter were raising funds to build a new basketball league. At that time, I thought it was just Maverick Carter's own behavior, but I didn't expect that there was something about James in it. James' ambitions may be greater than we think.

The league is played in which the team will stay in a city for a week or a weekend, and then go to the next city to compete on a tour. The race mode is similar to the racing method of LIV golf and Formula F1 racing! So is James suddenly starting to play golf this summer because he wants to understand the business operation mode of golf competition?

And when businessmen talk about business, they always like to play golf

Preparing for the future, sometimes you really have to accept that successful people have a reason to succeed. Another point that attracts players in the new league is about allowing players to hold team equity, which is different from the NBA. The NBA does not allow players to hold team equity. When Jaylen Brown became the vice chairman of the Players' Union, he put forward opinions, hoping to change this regulation, and Curry expressed the same idea.

In the past two years, there are many emerging basketball leagues... There are retired players' destinations - big3 League, the women's three-person basketball league that inspires to improve the living environment of female players - Unrivaled League and countless streetball leagues, and there are many in China. The new league that is being planned is not allowed to participate in new leagues and NBA/WNBA games at the same time. In other words, if there are any active NBA players who want to participate in this league, they can only choose to leave the NBA. In this case, the star flavor of this league may be difficult to hold on. There shouldn’t be any active big-name players who are willing to leave the NBA just to join such a new league, right? ! Could it be that retired stars have to support the store? Tour mode BIG3? ? ?

However, due to the influence of the promoters and the scale of funds raised, people still have some expectations for this league. We have said before that the 2025-26 season may be James' last season. If this league is really built, James will retire and start his business career.
