"No, I’m not," James simply told ESPN's Tim MacMahon after a historic performance to help the Los Angeles Lakers' 124-116 win over the Houston Rockets on Wednesday. "Not at all."
It was revealed that the NBA will hold a vote at the Board of Governors meetings about league expansion, identifying Seattle and Las Vegas as possible destinations for two new teams.
Apparently, a report from The Athletic has revealed that James's well-known dream of owning an NBA team in Las Vegas is in jeopardy. The Fenway Sports Group, LeBron's longstanding business partner, is not interested in pursuing a potential Las Vegas ball club.
