LeBron James wants to own an NBA team once his time in the NBA is done. Could it be the Lakers?

While LeBron James might play like he’s still in his early-20s, the reality is at the end of his contract with the Los Angeles Lakers, James will be 37 years old and will likely consider retiring in the purple and gold. You may take this time to shed a tear.

Luckily for James, he’s already set up himself up nicely for retirement. Along with the money he’s made playing in the NBA to date (roughly $233 million) and his rumored lifetime deal with Nike worth up to $1 billion, James also has endorsement deals with Sprite, Beats and Kia Motors.
