LeBron James Wants To Be Center Of Attention Of Las Vegas Expansion Team
When LeBron James retires, he doesn’t want to go out and never be seen again; the billionaire seeks to partner with Las Vegas’s expansion team and be the face of it. Continuing to the be the face of the league/team in one of the biggest attracting cities in America.
While ESPN’s Brian Windhorst talked about LeBron’s newest contract, he hinted at two things: the 39-year-old taking it year-by-year due to health and wanting to be a part of an expansion team. The way Windhorst was phrasing it, we could see this as a reality.
“The biggest thing, other than health, that we’re gonna see that is going to determine when the end of LeBron’s career is when the owners of the league set forth a timeline about when they’re gonna establish that expansion team in Las Vegas,” Windhorst said. “I suspect once the TV rights deals get wrapped up … they’re gonna bring expansion to the table.”
What caught the attention of fans and the media was when Windhorst said LeBron wanted to become the face of the Las Vegas franchise. He won’t be a player, though; he will be an active partner.
“(James) wants to partner with partners to become the face of the franchise in Las Vegas.”
Adam Silver has spoken on the possibility of the NBA adopting a new franchise. Seattle and Las Vegas were cities that talked about having a team. The idea of Vegas having a team has been loved by many.
