Upcoming Events

The first ever UBL draft was held on Monday, September 19. Teams had a 50 million dollar salary cap and a 30 million dollar spending minimum. The draft was held online and was the first online draft of its kind. Each team drafted 8 players who they believed would hold out through the long, almost seven month season and help them make the playoffs. The first game is yet to be scheduled and will most likely be held on an upcoming friday night. Games will be held and broadcasted one game Friday night, and all other games on Saturday at 1:00 pm, 4:00 pm, and one late game at 8:00 pm saturday night.

The UBL

United Basketball Legion, a new basketball league created to replace the NBA during the upcoming lockout. The commissioner of our league is Kenny Powers. Some owners in our league are Luc LeBleu, Shane Wright, Zack Gross, and Andy Dunn. Each owner in the league owns two teams. Teams are located in Boston, New York, Miami, Chicago, Houston Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, and Seattle. Games are 48 minutes long, played in quarters much like former games in the NBA. There are 26 games in a season. Seasons are structured like seasons in the NFL with each team playing only one game a week, which makes each game more important.
