Cavs favorite to be team LeBron owns after retirement

In the mind of LeBron James, it’s clear there is no doubt that he will be part of an ownership group in the NBA.

So now that James has laid out that there ain’t no maybes, you can bet on which team James will own and how long it will take him.

According to the folks at the online sports book Bovada, the Cavs are the lone team with the best chance to get purchased by James. However, outside of a handful of teams, it’s more likely James owns another unspecified team.

You can also bet on how long after retirement it will take him to be an owner.

When Will Lebron James own part of an NBA Franchise?

Over 5.5 Years After Retirement -120

Under 5.5 Years After Retirement -120

What team will Lebron James own a part of?

Cleveland Cavaliers +150

Memphis Grizzlies +600

Milwaukee Bucks +600

Brooklyn Nets +900

Denver Nuggets +900

Detroit Pistons +900

Any Other Team +140

Also, through LeBron’s business partner, we also know James has a desire to be a part owner of an NFL team. However, as the odds reflect, that might be a little more complicated.

Will Lebron James Own Part of an NFL Team?

Yes +155

No -220

The odds show it is more likely for James not to own an NFL team, despite his huge football fandom and apparent desire. His recent comments saying NFL owners have a ‘slave owner’ mentality might complicate the approval of a potential sale from said owners. But his chances are still pretty good, all things considered.
