CLEVELAND, Ohio – LeBron James said his "dream is to actually own" an NBA team, thus declaring for himself a potentially concrete path when his illustrious career comes to an end and he has a large financial fortune at his disposal.
James made the comments during the first episode of a new podcast for Uninterrupted, the on-line, social media-driven platform he created for athletes. He was responding to a question about whether he might want to be a general manager when his playing days are over.
"I think so," James said on the podcast, called 'Open Run,' hosted by actor Jesse Williams and Stefan Marolachakis. 'Open Run' is a popular podcast that was acquired by Uninterrupted, with James the guest for the first show released Wednesday. - CLICK HERE to read full story.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- LeBron James' days of playing in the Olympics may not be over despite his absence on this year's team, which continues its pursuit of a third straight gold medal at the Rio Games.
"Every time I watch 'em I wish I was out there," James said in an interview with ESPN's Rachel Nichols, which will air on Good Morning America Thursday. "I did not retire from Team USA. I just did not play this summer. So I still left the door open."
One of the longest-tenured members of Team USA, James has played in 68 games, winning two gold medals and one bronze. He has been at the center of USA basketball's rebirth and is second in points, being pushed out of the top spot by Carmelo Anthony earlier this summer. - CLICK HERE to read full story.
