Former Pacers swingman, Jonathan Bender has developed a variety of ways to make big money off the court after his NBA career was cut short by injury. Now he's returning to the court and sinking some of that money into a venture that involves basketball.
Bender recently announced a new professional one-on-one basketball league called the National Solo Basketball Associations (NSBA). The idea is to follow a UFC model but instead of having combatants step inside the octagon, players will take the hardwood to battle for buckets.
“The mano-a-mano, skill vs. skill format will revolutionize the game,” predicts Bender.
