What does it really take to build a professional basketball league from the ground up?

In this episode of Boss Conversations, Kyle Bird sits down with Damon Cannon, President of the American Basketball Association, to discuss the untold side of professional basketball, leadership, media, opportunity, and community impact.

From managing over 100 teams nationwide to helping athletes earn second chances through basketball, Damon shares the realities of operating one of the largest professional sports leagues in America.

The conversation dives into:

• The difference between the ABA and NBA
• Why media is the future of sports leagues
• How basketball changes communities
• The pressure of leading a national organization
• Why ABA players can compete with anyone
• The business behind sports ownership
• The future of the ABA in Las Vegas
• And why Damon believes the ABA could compete with the G-League right now
