This was followed by a story that James himself shared on Instagram.

The selfie that James shared even had Prince Bader bin Farhan Al-Saud in it, who is currently the country’s Minister of Culture.

LeBron James hanging out with Saudi ministers makes me wonder if he is going to co-own a team with them. He has always been vocal about bringing a team to Las Vegas and with retirement looming near, it is highly likely Bron is going to turn towards ownership. pic.twitter.com/mk4XvJjRtw

The caption? “Love my brother!!! Until next.”

Even LeBron’s agent, Maverick Carter, and a couple of other folks squeezed into the pic.

While it’s still unclear what he’s doing in Riyadh, online rumours suggest he’s been invited to a friendly basketball game at the AZM Academy.
