LeBron James, Kevin Durant, but also Draymond Green, Tom Brady or even Drake and Michael B. Jordan… Here are some of the stars who have fallen for pickleball, this racquet sport, halfway between tennis and badminton .
All have invested in Major League Pickleball franchises, a championship created in 2021 with a franchise system. To these prestigious names, we must now add that of Trae Young since the leader of the Hawks is now a co-shareholder of the Atlanta Bouncers.
Twenty-four franchises in the United States
“As a pickleball player and fan, I am excited to partner with the Bouncers”said the All-Star point guard. “It’s especially exciting to invest in a team that has Atlanta in its DNA, and this is the perfect opportunity to get involved.”
Created by brewer Adolphus Busch, the franchise will begin its second season in Major League Pickleball, a league that includes 24 teams, even with a Draft system.
By 2030, the federation’s ambition is to reach 40 million players in the United States, and since this year, there has been a federation in Australia.
