LeBron James was revealed to be one of Fenway Sports Group’s newest partners on Tuesday in a report from Michael Silverman of The Boston Globe.
Because Fenway Sports Group (FSG) owns the Red Sox — among other holdings, which include Liverpool Football Club, Roush Fenway Racing, and NESN — it means that the 36-year-old basketball superstar is now a part-owner of Boston’s baseball team.
James is joined as a new parter by Maverick Carter, his childhood friend and business partner. They are the first Black partners in FSG history.
“For me and for my partner Maverick to be the first two Black men to be a part of that ownership group in the history of that franchise — I think it’s pretty damn cool,” James told Globe reporter Gary Washburn on Wednesday.
