The greatest basketball player, Michael Jordan, dominates everyone around him. However, with his business opportunity, he couldn’t replicate the success. After becoming the majority owner of the Charlotte Hornets, Jordan didn’t get a lot of prosperity. Eventually, he sold most of his stake in the Hornets, which is all the rage right now.

Probably being a legendary basketball player doesn’t guarantee success in management. Amidst all this drama, there’s a high possibility that LeBron James might want to own an NBA team too. James has always been very vocal about his ambition. He had made it very clear that he doesn’t want to purchase an existing team but wants to own an expansion team, based in Las Vegas.

So when King James, like Jordan, wants to own his own NBA team, people are not surprised. It also looks like it’ll be a reality soon. Amidst all the Hornets-Jordan chaos, a video clip has surfaced on social media alleging something that looks like LeBron’s dream.
