Los Angeles native and former UCLA standout Baron Davis and Lakers NBA Champion Metta World Peace are both investor ambassadors for the league. “East Asia Super League’s mission is to be Asia’s premier basketball league, offering our fans local heroes starring in an excellently presented game experience for live audiences and broadcast in primetime, and our vision is to be a top three league in the world by fan base size and commercial revenue by 2025,” said EASL CEO Matt Beyer.
