James reaffirms interest in owning Las Vegas NBA team

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James said he’s still interested in being part of the NBA after he’s finished playing.

Speaking to reporters, he reiterated that he would like to own a franchise and pointed to Las Vegas.

“Vegas is a really cool city, and they’re doing some great things in sports these days,” James said, pointing to the presence of the Aces of the WNBA and the Raiders of the NFL.

He did briefly forget the name of the city’s hockey team, however, thinking the Kings played in Las Vegas. He realized his mistake and a reporter had to note that it was the Golden Knights.

“The Kings [are] in LA, right?” he noted. “Or the King. Oh, there’s two Kings in LA. Got it.”
