Talk:Junior Basketball Association

Update needed
This article needs to be updated to reflect that the underlying parent shoe company, Big Baller Brand, has apparently gone out of business based on its shut-down website. 72.106.144.143 (talk) 17:42, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

"Genius"
The quote from the article on The Root is taken out of context. The writer goes on to question LaVar Ball's ability to pull it off, even while stating he'd love to see the NCAA's total control challenged, especially by a black man, but makes it plain he doesn't see Ball as succeeding, which is not what the one word being quoted out of context implies. 2600:1004:B15C:351B:3D23:64AE:262A:8E2C (talk) 17:53, 4 August 2019 (UTC)

NCAA Changes
The article states the league was formed as a response to players not being paid in the NCAA, then goes on to cover that the JBA closed. However it does not mention that the JBA created a mainstream conversation about players not being paid in the NCAA which ultimately led to the NCAA changing its rules and allowing students to be paid for their likeness and have merchandising deals, eliminating the need for the JBA to exist, as the NCAA now negated the main complaint responsible for the JBA's inception. This lack of context seemingly purposely leads the reader to the conclusion that the league stopped because it failed. Whearas with the context of the NCAA's change to Name and Likeness monetazation rules, the conclusion drawn would be that there is no further need for future seasons of the JBA because the NCAA incorperated the JBA's main purpose and amended it's own ruleset to reflect changes brought about by the JBA. Meaning the JBA closed because it accomplished what it set out to do: make a league where the college age players get paid. It made that league. The NCAA. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.142.172.45 (talk) 08:27, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
