LOS ANGELES - TelAve -- Visionary entrepreneur Ron Abaekobe has built THE LEAGUE, a disruptive sports and lifestyle platform where basketball collides with fashion, hospitality, technology, and music. More than just a game, THE LEAGUE transforms each team into a brand—creating a stage where companies and cultural icons compete, collaborate, and connect.

Founded and developed by Abaekobe, who serves as Owner, Co-Founder, and Commissioner, THE LEAGUE's first season proved that sports can be reimagined as a cultural movement. Using his relationships across industries, Ron brought together brands, athletes, and tastemakers to launch a new kind of competition. Soho House—a global hospitality leader—believed so strongly in the concept that they joined as a partner and fielded their own team.

Since its inception, THE LEAGUE has drawn A-list attention. Justin Bieber has suited up more than seven times and now owns his own team under his brand Skylrk. Future Hendrix, Floyd Mayweather, Machine Gun Kelly, and other cultural powerhouses have all been seen courtside. Each game is powered by Memehouse Productions with full live-streaming capabilities, bridging the experience to audiences worldwide.

Backing Ron's vision are an influential team of partners:

• Dallas Imbimbo – Co-Founder
• Dominic Ciambrone (The Shoe Surgeon) – Partner
• Doni Nahmias – Partner
• Allen Gharakhani – Head of Hospitality
• Jonathan Buckridge (Loyalink) – Ticketing Partner
• Roman Hussain (Memehouse Productions) – Production Partner

Together, they've created a league where brands double as teams, seasons become networking platforms, and every matchup is both sport and spectacle.
