Shannon Sharpe Gives Fans Insight on What the Situation of LeBron James Owning an NBA Team in Las Vegas
LeBron James is a rich, rich man.
Despite having come from next to nothing, the man is now worth more than a billion dollars. And yes, while a lot of that comes directly from the NBA, it would be a little ignorant to ignore his investments in different businesses over the years.
The man has expanded his net worth by such a large amount that he is now realistically considering owning an NBA franchise that hails from Las Vegas.
And while that may sound completely crazy at first, Shannon Sharpe recently revealed what is likely Bron’s master plan to make it all happen.

Shannon Sharpe Reveals LeBron James’ Path to Ownership Could Very Well Mirror Michael Jordan’s
As you may or may not know, Michael Jordan, valued at $2.2 billion, already has his own NBA team, the Charlotte Hornets.
Now, he may not be the greatest team owner of all time, and the Hornets … they’re definitely not the greatest team in the NBA, the way he got to that point could provide a great benchmark, as he spoke Shannon Sharpe in Undisputed.
Take a look at the clip in the tweet below, to see his full thoughts on the matter.
LeBron James wants to have an NBA team in Las Vegas:
“LeBron is basically saying Adam Silver don’t forget about you, kid. He’s probably going to have to start out as a minority owner like Jordan, but I think LBJ would quit playing to become an NBA franchise owner.” — @ShannonSharpe pic.twitter.com/9pQu5zqlhI

Frankly, it might be a bit harsh to say that you’d be willing to end your NBA career to own an NBA franchise. But then again, is he really that far fetched?
What’s next for Michael Jordan’s Charlotte Hornets?
As mentioned above, the Hornets are not a very good team. In fact, since Miles Bridges probably won’t be able to play in the NBA again, they’re probably much closer to being the worst team in the NBA.
LaMelo Ball is perhaps the only sign of hope for the franchise, and even he hasn’t looked anything like him during the team’s preseason games.
Are the Hornets in a bid to draft Victor Wembanyama first overall in next year’s NBA draft?
It sure looks like it.
