The new ownership group in Major League Pickleball is headed by the two superstars.

NBA champion Draymond Green and Kevin Love are two of the players in the group.

Steve Kuhn, founder of the Major League Pickleball, said that the group of owners and investors in the league is a "watershed moment" for the sport.

The first professional team league in the US is called Major League Pickleball. James' group was able to invest in a new league due to the league's expansion from 12 to 16 teams.

Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the country, and it's growing all over the world. The investment and platform provided by this group will help us reach 40 million players by the year 2030.

The financial terms were not made public.

The home office of James and Carter is located in AKRON, OH.
