NBA spends more than $500K to keep prospect Jalen Green from facing actual competition
Posted Apr 23, 2020
If you want to drill right to the core of the NBA's new deal with California high school prospect Jalen Green, the league is going to pay him a half-million dollars to not play in the G League because it might be too hard for him. Green will have no freshman English papers to write and no high-pressure March Madness games to worry about losing.
