NBA Twitter Reacts to LeBron James’s Desire to Own a Team in Vegas

LeBron James put the NBA on notice this week courtesy of a clip from the latest episode of HBO’s The Shop: Uninterrupted. In the clip, the 19-year veteran confirmed he remains in pursuit of one of his biggest post-career goals.

“I want to own a team,” said James, who is entering his fourth season with the Lakers. “I want to buy a team for sure. I want a team in Vegas. I want the team in Vegas.”
