During a recent interview on The Pivot Podcast, LeBron James’ close friend and business partner, Rich Paul, shared his opinion on purchasing an NBA team expansion.
“I don’t want to be an owner, just to be clear. They allowed the players to participate in ownership, but it’s a slippery slope.” Paul said during the interview.
