There isn’t much that Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James hasn’t accomplished over his 20-plus-year NBA career. James has won the Finals, Finals MVP, MVP, been named to countless All-NBA teams, and much, much more.
However, as his time in the NBA winds down, many have wondered what will be next for arguably the best basketball player to ever step foot on a court, with many assuming that he would become an owner of an NBA franchise.
However, it appears that James has his sights set on something even loftier than that: his own league.
“LeBron James and Maverick Carter are reportedly assembling a group of investors to launch a basketball league that would compete with the NBA, per (Brian Windhorst),” reported NBA Central on Wednesday.
Fans reacted to the news on social media.
“NBA doesn’t wanna acknowledge LeBron as the undisputed GOAT and he does this? Lmao gg,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“Then it will not compete with the NBA lmao it would be a good secondary league to watch ….it will be competing with the Euro League,” someone else added.
“In his own league, completely free from drug testing, Lebron will play until he’s 75 years old lol… there’s no way for him to hide his PEDS use while playing in the NBA,” another fan added.
It’ll be interesting to see what else James has in store for whe he hands it up.
