"When it came time to do a deal like this, we had full broadcast capability — we were plug-and-play for anybody. ... In the words of every pro athlete, 'We bet on ourselves.' And the bet paid off.""When we started, we made a bet that people cared about discovery — that they wanted to know who was 'next,'" says Porter.
"We built a whole business around telling you that Zion Williamson, LaMelo Ball ... all these people are 'next.' And now we've built a whole league around it."
