Former NBA player David West is looking to start a basketball league to rival the NCAA. In a recent story by Brian Costa of The Wall Street Journal, West detailed the inspiration for the Historical Basketball League and what he expects it to become. He said the league is planning to launch in the summer of 2020 and the players will be paid between $50,000 and $150,000 for the season.
"We need to create something fair," West told The Wall Street Journal.
The league is going to have 12 teams after picking from a pool of 20 cities.
