Where lebron james wants to own an nba team

Basketball

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James, recently declared by Forbes magazine as the NBA’s first active player worth $1 billion, has a new goal — owning an NBA team in Las Vegas.

The 37-year-old playmaker was shown in a social media video clip from Friday’s edition of his talk show “The Shop” declaring his latest NBA desire.

Las Vegas has been often mentioned as a prime spot for an expansion club, although NBA commissioner Adam Silver said recently there were no immediate plans for expansion.

But there is a plan for a major new arena in Vegas, which is already the home of an NFL and NHL team.

James, a four-time NBA champion owns SpringHill Company, an entertainment firm that made “Space Jam: A New Legacy” — a film released last year starring James.

He’s also a part owner of Fenway Sports Group, which owns MLB’s Boston Red Sox, English Premier League football side Liverpool and the NHL’s Pittsburgh Penguins.
