FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Succeeding in the sports industry is extremely difficult to the inherently competitive nature of this industry. Only the best qualify for a lucrative career in sports, and while many aspire to use their sporting talent to succeed, a very small fraction actually qualify for a career in sports. On the other hand, a career in basketball is even more difficult, with players needing to showcase their talent as early as possible.

Due to the nature of this career, there is a high-level of competitiveness and most don't get into the NBA, which is considered to be the end goal for any aspiring basketball player. The NBA is so influential that many get discouraged when they are not selected and give up hopes of a basketball career.

If you look at the facts, this is all very unfair. First of all, a very small fraction actually get into the NBA. Secondly, it is not like the NBA is the only league that brings in a large amount of money. There are lots of leagues in and out of the US that pull in lots of money.

But the fact is that all of these leagues are made for only the best players, and once again getting in is a herculean task. What about those who are better than most but don't qualify for the extremely high-standards that these leagues demand for? For these 'semi-professional players', it seems like there is no respite.

CBL Commissioner Jamar Johnson has written a book to bust basketball myths and show that a career in basketball doesn't require absurdly impressive talent. A testament to this is the fact that he has made over $1 million through a Basketball Career despite never getting into the NBA or getting employed by it.

His book looks at the booming popularity of Basketball as a sport both in the US and internationally, and how big sponsorships, branding and marketing have resulted in a billion-dollar industry that rakes in lots of revenue for its players. It forms a huge chunk of the $700 billion sports industry. Then he focuses on the CBL Exposure League, which is a large-scale semi-pro league that aims to keep operating costs low while exposing players to the world-stage. It is supposed to act as a launchpad into a more lucrative basketball career, and finally, Jamar looks at the technicalities of making it big in basketball.

Jamar's book gives new insight into the Basketball Industry, which is usually shrouded behind the NBA. It reminds us that Basketball isn't the NBA and that there are lots of other ways to succeed in the Basketball industry.
