Jaipur (Rajasthan) [India], July 19 (ANI): Elite Pro Basketball League’s Jaipur Giants have been acquired by Bradshaw Capital, an American company lead by former Montblanc USA CEO, Bill Brown.
Elite Pro Basketball is India’s first-of-its-kind 5×5 Pro Basketball League featuring 12 teams filled with rosters of top-level Indian players. The Jaipur Giants have signed former Indian National Team player and current Indian Railways player, Prakash Mishra, as their marquee player, and have also drafted Rajat Shrivastava and Samuel Gali, among others.
