Adam Silver: LeBron James is interested in NBA Africa

JOHANNESBURG -- LA Lakers star LeBron James, the biggest name in basketball right now, has expressed an interest in playing at the NBA Africa game in future, according to NBA commission Adam Silver.

James, who was traded to the Lakers from Cleveland this offseason in a blockbuster move, has never appeared in the African exhibition game, but according to Silver, King James would be open to it if his schedule allowed.

James would be one of the biggest names to ever make the trip for the exhibition game, which sees Team Africa, which stars Philadelphia's Joel Embiid this year, take on Team World.
