The sports world is built on a lot of what-ifs and one of them is what Lebron James will do with the rest of his NBA Career? While he reportedly has one year left on his contract with The Los Angeles Lakers, the Multi-time NBA Champion made it clear he wanted to play basketball with his son in his final year. How does the world of Las Vegas sports come into this you might be asking yourself? Interestingly enough, there’s a rumor that James will go to Las Vegas when if it becomes an expansion team.

The rumor was laid out by Bill Simmons in “The Bill Simmons Podcast”,  and although it might not be credible, it is an interesting concept. It’s no secret that there have been buzzings about bringing an NBA team to Sin City, but to have Lebron involved in any way would be big. Whether on the court with his son or in the front office, James building up a sports empire in Las Vegas would be a great way to cement the city as the next big sports town.
