                 It’s late November: Baseball is over, basketball and hockey are still months away from the players actually trying, and your favorite football team is on its third-string quarterback. So, now’s the time to take a close look at the people and companies shaking up the sports status quo.

                 most players don’t make a living on their PLL salaries alone. Many have full-time jobs or supplement their PLL income by coaching and running camps and clinics.

Tapping into that audience—along with teams potentially paying franchise fees as high as $1 billion—would make this a fruitful endeavor for the NBA.

                 Take a tennis court, shrink it down, then enclose it with walls. That’s basically what a padel court is. The rackets don’t have strings and look more like big pingpong paddles with holes. There’s still a net, but you can also play balls that bounce off the walls. Games are typically played in a doubles format.

Star power is still driving the sport’s popularity, with David Beckham, Serena Williams, Lionel Messi, and Prince William and Princess Kate all counting themselves among the 30+ million amateurs who, according to the International Padel Federation, play padel across nearly 150 countries.

                 More than 90% of pro ballers prefer natural fields, according to multiple years of surveys by the NFL Players Association. Since turf has less give than grass, many athletes feel sorer after practicing on it, which can cause more wear and tear during games.

                 Installing plastic turf can cost $1+ million, but it’s billed as a cheaper alternative to grass because it requires less upkeep. Still, critics say this doesn’t account for the physical and financial cost of a benched star player. Nabers, who’s out for the rest of the season, has a ~$7 million/year contract.
