LeBron James reiterated his dream of bringing an NBA team to Las Vegas on Wednesday following the Lakers’ 119–115 loss to the Suns at T-Mobile Arena.
In the past, James has pointed at Sin City as the city where he hopes to become an NBA owner. When asked by a reporter about the love he receives from fans in Vegas, the four-time NBA champion praised them and gleefully doubled down on the idea.
“It’s wonderful, it’s the best fan base in the world and I’d love to bring a team here at some point,” James said. “That would be amazing. I know [NBA commissioner] Adam [Silver] is in Abu Dhabi right now I believe … with the Bucks and Atlanta, but he probably sees every single interview and transcript that comes through from NBA players. So, I want the team here Adam, thank you.”
