The JBA was first announced on December 20, 2017, when media personality LaVar Ball said to Slam magazine that he would create a professional league targeted at high school graduates and fully funded by his sports apparel company Big Baller Brand. In the tryouts, LaVar found a full roster for the team, thus being the only team to do so for the entire season. However, they ended their inaugural season with the worst regular season, winning only one game that year on July 5, 2018.Final roster
