Los Angeles Lakers star James has always had an affinity for owning sports teams. He is a stakeholder in Liverpool F.C and has also openly talked about owning an NBA team based in Las Vegas.
After Raphael Warnock’s 46,000 vote win over Sen. Kelly Loeffler, James posted a message on Twitter proposing to buy Loeffler’s WNBA team, “Think I’m gone put together an ownership group for the The Dream. Whose in?”

He had referred to the Atlanta Dream which competes in the WNBA and was previously owned by Loeffler. She always had a rocky relationship with the organization that escalated during the Black Lives Matter movement.
