LeBron James Was Spotted In Saudi Just Weeks After Saying He’d Potentially Play In The Country
Recently, a video of basketball player LeBron James went viral in which he hinted at the possibility of playing in Saudi Arabia in the future amid rumours of him getting huge offers to play in the country.
Now, he’s actually in Saudi and it’s all over local media.
First, you had this video of him doing the rounds.
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.
