In an interview with the media not long ago, James said in an interview with the media that he wanted to play with his eldest son, Brownie, in the final year of his career. As soon as the remarks came out, they quickly detonated public opinion, where will the good drama of father and son on the same stage be staged? It has attracted constant speculation and rumors from the outside world.
And just today, according to NBA star Bill Simmons, James may become the owner of an NBA team in the next few years, which means that the dream of father and son on the same stage may never be realized.
"I've gotten some news that the NBA is expected to expand in the next few years, bringing in two teams in Las Vegas and Seattle. Among them, Fenway Sports Group is the main contender for that team in Las Vegas, you know, they also have penguins in their hands, buy Liverpool, they have been trying to buy an NBA team. Simmons said.
"I have a feeling that the two teams that the league has brought in are getting closer and closer to us, and I feel like they're going to be very, very, very interested in getting some stake in those two teams and when that happens, James will be involved." Simmons added.
As we all know, as one of the greatest stars in the history of the NBA, James is also a successful entrepreneur, and his investment footprint involves investments in the food, liquor and entertainment industries, as well as some sports sectors. According to previous reports, James and his investment partner Carter jointly bought some stakes in Fenway Sports Group and became partners in the group.
Because the NBA does not allow active players to own the team shares, for example, Jordan once owned a 5% stake in the Wizards, but in order to make a final comeback, he had to sell his stake. Therefore, if the NBA expands in the next few years, James wants to become a minority shareholder of a new army in the league, and may have to retire early, which means that the dream of father and son on the same stage will be disillusioned in advance!
Of course, if James is very obsessed with fulfilling his wish to play with Brownie, he may give up the opportunity to own an NBA team and wait until the end of his career to find another opportunity.
