Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is one busy man. Apart from representing the Purple and Gold, James is involved with several sports outside the basketball spectrum, expanding his already-impressive portfolio.
In mid-March, James, along with his business partner Maverick Carter, joined Fenway Sports Group, the parent company of prominent professional teams such as the Boston Red Sox of MLB. He also held a 2% stake in Liverpool F.C., the English Premier League team, but traded that in for a larger role with the club and ownership group.
When this news broke, it meant that James and Carter would become the company’s first Black partners, eliminating a barrier that James hopes will serve as inspiration for people who hope to be in similar positions one day.
