Entering his 22nd NBA season, LeBron James continues to make headlines with his on-court performance and financial achievements. The Los Angeles Lakers star recently signed a lucrative two-year, $104 million max contract with the team.
But basketball is not the only thing on LeBron’s mind. According to his business partner, Maverick Carter, James has set his sights on owning an NBA team once he hangs up his sneakers. During a recent appearance on the Pat McAfee Show, Carter shared that the Lakers forward is determined to be an NBA team winner.
“We’ve been involved with Liverpool since 2011, it’s been a great ride. We’ve had a fun time, and Fenway Sports Group is the best. LeBron is dead set on owning an NBA team, but he’s still playing,” Carter said.
“I have no idea how much longer he’s gonna play. I would’ve thought he’d be done a few years ago, but he’s still letting the young guys know that Grandpa’s still balling,” he added.
