LeBron James Getting Closer to His Post-NBA Dream

The Los Angeles Lakers are going to be led by forward LeBron James for the seventh straight campaign.

James signed a two-year, $101 million deal on July 3 to keep him around as they compete for an NBA title. The Lakers have their work cut out for them to be a serious threat after failing to make any outside additions except for Dalton Knecht and Bronny James.

Regardless of what happens this year, LeBron is already thinking of his post-playing career.

There have been rumors that the NBA is looking to add a team to the Las Vegas market and LeBron is expected to be in on the sale.

Back in 2023, James became the NBA's first billionaire. We all know that he holds a lot of power in different spaces. This combination of things after being the face of the NBA for the past two decades only helps his case.

LeBron is more than a basketball player. He's a mogul and is looking to still have an imprint in the NBA, even when he's done playing.
