It’s no secret that LeBron James is interested in owning an NBA team once his playing career is over. The fans know it, LeBron has talked about it and perhaps most importantly, Adam Silver knows it.
What better time for the commissioner to crack a joke at James’s expense than during the NBA Cup MVP presentation in the city where the Lakers star hopes to one day own a team?
“The last trophy, the MVP Cup for outstanding play throughout the entire tournament, to a man who quite frankly, there’s nothing else to win in this league. The only thing I can say is, ‘I’m sorry but it doesn’t come with a franchise.’ LeBron James, the MVP,” Silver said.
