LeBron James’ Massive Billion Dollar Decision That Might Change NBA’s Next Decade

LeBron James is an epitome of greatness. LeBron has been in the NBA for 19 years. There has arguably not been one single season where someone could discredit LeBron on the basis of his effort. His dedication to the game transcends the years he has been playing at the elite level.

‘King James’ has well and truly excelled in every sense as a professional basketball player. He is second on the list for most points in history. And surely he will be on course to become the player with the most points next season. LeBron is the only player with 10,000 points, assists, and rebounds in history.

On and off the court, LeBron has truly achieved everything he has set his eyes on. And it looks like as he is nearing his retirement, LeBron has set another milestone in front of him.

LeBron James joined the billionaire club last week. His net worth officially crossed the one billion mark. James has already set his next target in order to increase his global value even more. He has said that he has plans to own an NBA team himself. Here’s what he said when asked about his future plans.

“I wanna own a team. Yeah, I wanna buy a team for sure. I would much rather own a team before I talk. I want a team in Vegas. Yeah, I want a team in Vegas.” LeBron said about owning an NBA team.

LeBron already owns a little part of a soccer club. He owns around 2% of Liverpool FC. Now that he has reached the magical 10-digit figure in his net worth, he feels he is ready to own a team.

In fact, he aims to form a team that would be from Las Vegas. Vegas has never had a team represented in the NBA. If and when LeBron is able to complete his new target, it will be just another addition to his amazing off-the-court work toward the people.

The fans are always left inspired by whatever LeBron says or does. And deservedly so. His off-the-court contributions have always been something to admire him for. Ever since his rookie years, he has been active in every social issue and speaks out for it. 

He also knows the value of his fame and fan following, which is why he is big on awareness as well. So when he said that he wants to own a team, his faithful fans were obviously behind him, supporting him.

Some of the comments included: 

“League needs a team in Vegas and also resurrect the Seattle SuperSonics 🙂 I’m all for it.”

“LAS VEGAS SONICS OR SONIX”

“That’ll be the dopest thing ever. A team in Vegas and Lebron is the owner.”

“I’ve never seen LeBron say he was going to do something & then not do it. So I bet this happens.”

“What this dude has been able to accomplish, I have no doubt he’ll get it done.”

“I so believe this will happen for the simple fact that Lebron has always accomplished whatever he set his mind to do #kingthings.”
