LeBron James could own the Boston Celtics. Someday.
. According to the transitive property, if Fenway Sports Group bought the Boston Celtics, that would make LeBron James the owner of the Boston Celtics.
It is considered cruel to point this out to Celtics fans because their team was eliminated from the postseason by LeBron James and either the Miami Heat or Cleveland Cavaliers four times in the last decade before James signed with their most bitter historical rival, the Los Angeles Lakers.Only in the sense that LeBron James owns any defender. An active player owning another team in the league is a pretty obvious conflict of interest.
James — a billionaire in his own right — has said he wants to own a team and pointed to Las Vegas. The Los Angeles Lakers star is backed by RedBird Capital Partners and Fenway Sports Group, with both parties investing in James’ The SpringHill Company in 2021. “They have everything here,” James said in December after the league’s first in-season tournament was held in Las Vegas.
Should Fenway Sports Group buy the Celtics, it shouldn't be hard for LeBron to cash out and find some other investors. Then he can go about building a franchise that will haunt the Celtics forever.Stephen Douglas is a Senior Writer on the Breaking & Trending News Team at Sports Illustrated.
