Players suiting up in LaVar Ball's new Junior Basketball Association will earn a decent amount of change this summer.
The Big Baller Brand CEO announced Friday that the NCAA-alternative league will pay players a monthly salary of $3,000 and 60 percent of the proceeds from their jersey sales.
LaVar confirms paying all current JBA players $3,000 per month. They will also receive 60% from Jersey sales.

Therefore, if a player sells 1,000 jersey that’s an easy extra $48,000 in their pocket. Not to mention, the other opportunities for endorsements.
Among those competing in the JBA is the youngest Ball brother, LaMelo, who signed his contract Monday. LaVar has said he wants LaMelo to be "the face" of the league.
