波特兰开拓者队前锋卡梅洛·安东尼的最新冒险也许有助于发掘出下一位NBA球星，他可以和他令人印象深刻的职业篮球生涯抗衡。
据报道，梅洛已经投资了加时赛精英，这个联盟为30名运动员提供了一个年薪10万美元的机会，并帮助他们实现NBA梦想。
据NBC体育台报道，这位开拓者球星已经和凯文杜兰特一起投资了联盟。
此外，还为球员提供医疗和残疾保险，如果球员不打算从事职业篮球生涯，还可获得教育和价值10万美元的奖学金。
开拓者老手投资的联盟还带来了其他好处，包括奖金、公司股权，以及从他们的名字、形象和肖像以及通过与运动鞋公司签署直接赞助协议来赚取收入的能力。
加时赛精英联赛将于9月开赛，地点待定。
联盟的目标是让球员们绕过传统的高中和大学阶段，同时仍然增加他们的技能和品牌，帮助他们走向职业生涯在NBA。
该联盟将由“加班精英”管理，这家公司被描述为“一个变革性的新体育联盟，为世界上最有天赋的年轻篮球运动员提供成为职业运动员的更好途径，并吸引和激励新一代数字本土球迷。”
根据他们的网站，球员们将在联盟内部以及与国际球队竞争。球员们将在同一个城市一起生活、训练和学习。
对卡梅洛·安东尼来说，这无疑是一笔改变游戏规则的投资。在开拓者得分手和杜兰特的帮助下，联盟可能会很快找到成功。

The latest venture of Portland Trail Blazers forward Carmelo Anthony may just help unearth the next NBA star who could rival his impressive professional basketball career.
Melo has reportedly invested in Overtime Elite, a league that offers 30 athletes an opportunity to earn $100,000 a year as well as help them towards pursuing their NBA dream.
According to NBC Sports, the Blazers star has joined Kevin Durant in investing in the league.
Medical and disability insurance is also provided to the players, alongside an education and a scholarship worth $100,000 should a player not decide to pursue a professional basketball career.
Other benefits from the league where the Blazers vet invested include bonuses, shares of equity in the company as well as the ability to earn revenue from their name, image and likeness as well as through signing direct sponsorships with sneaker companies.
The Overtime Elite League is set to start in September in a yet to be determined locations.
The aim of the league is to allow players to bypass the traditional route of going through the high school and collegiate levels, while still adding to their skills and brand and helping them towards a career in the NBA.
The league will be run by Overtime Elite, a company described as “a transformative new sports league that offers the worldâs most talented young basketball players a better pathway to becoming professional athletes and engage and inspire a new generation of digitally native fans.”
According to their website, players will compete both within the league as well as against international teams. Players will all live, train and learn together in the same city.
It is certainly a game-changing investment for Carmelo Anthony. With the help of the Blazers scorer and Durant, the league may just find success sooner rather than later.
