In an unexpected turn, LeBron James might own part of the Boston Celtics.
Fenway Sports Group is thinking about buying a piece of the team, according to the New York Post. Since James owns a small part of FSG, he would then own a bit of the Celtics too. But there’s a twist.
James can’t be involved in owning the Celtics right now because it would be a conflict of interest. Any ownership stake would have to wait until he retires, which might not even be needed anyway.
The sale for 49% of the team wouldn’t finish until 2028. By then, James would be almost 44 years old and probably not playing anymore . In 2022, James became a billionaire and has talked about wanting to own an NBA team like Michael Jordan did. However, owning just a small part through FSG might not satisfy him.
Potential Future Moves:
If Fenway Sports Group buys part of the Celtics, James might sell his share and find new investors. Fans may wonder if this means he’ll aim for an expansion team in Las Vegasโa city he’s said has “everything” needed for an NBA franchise.
What do you think? Should LeBron wait or go for his own team?
