It is well knowledge that before James retires, he would like to spend some quality time playing with his son Bronny. James would like to do this before he stops working. James’s first grandiose plan for the years after his retirement is, at long last, beginning to bear fruit.

After James has retired from the NBA, he has expressed interest in purchasing a team in the city of Las Vegas.

James responded as follows when asked about the potential of the National Basketball Association expanding to Las Vegas: “I think it’s only a matter of time, and I hope I’m part of that time.”

The National Basketball Association plans to evaluate the possibility of expanding the league if it successfully renegotiates its television contract in 2025. It is anticipated that work on a brand-new basketball arena will get underway in Las Vegas in the year 2026. Vegas has been the site of previous iterations of All-Star Weekend, and the city also plays host to the annual summer league of the NBA as well as the training camp for the United States national team.

It would appear that the NBA will soon be expanding to include franchises in both Seattle and Las Vegas.

Following the conclusion of the game, James sent out this tweet as word of his postgame comments began to spread.

James is no stranger to the world of sports club ownership. In fact, he is a part owner of the Fenway Sports Group, which also has a stake in the Boston Red Sox, the Pittsburgh Penguins, and Liverpool FC.

A significant portion of Michael Jordan’s wealth comes from the selling of an NBA club. The next player to take the court is LeBron James.
