#112: Establishing the United Basketball League: With Co-Founders Ricky Davis and Chris Allison
The Profluence Pod 🌐 - A podcast by Andrew Petcash
The United Basketball League (UBL) is a fan-owned league attempting to create a system similar to baseball (but in basketball) co-founded by former NBA player Ricky Davis and Chris Allison. Chris Allison, experienced in the minor sports league space, provides insight into the planned structure of the league and its community-centric approach. With a focus on encouraging continued involvement from retired players and fostering talent development, the UBL aims to fill a gap between the youth, college, and professional levels of basketball with Ricky Davis helping shape that.
