LeBron James has ideas for a potential NBA franchise in Las Vegas. But the most recent idea presented on Twitter might leave him amazed. A fan posted concept promos about the potential Vegas expansion team. A Miami artist did the concept art for two potential franchisees, as there were rumors the NBA would also expand to Seattle.
It could also mark the return of the Supersonics. LeBron James expressed interest in buying the new franchise on his podcast. Many see this as an extension of his recent investments in various businesses. And the Vegas franchise could be one of them.

The legendary Los Angeles Lakers player recently became a billionaire. And its global superstar doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon.
The JAKEPABLOMEDIA account even gave the team a name: the Las Vegas Vultures. This left some fans on Twitter worried.
The concept art of the jerseys was widely appreciated. The account posted wild colors for the art. LeBron James might just go gaga over the cleanliness and elegance of the promo. This seems to align with his aspirations for the new franchise. The bold look might just reinvigorate a certain sense of style in the NBA where minimalism has become more widely accepted.
Here are some of the fan tweets found on NBA Twitter that either deride or adore this concept:
Vultures!? It’s a corny name and don’t let a cheap person own this team or they’ll be in basketball hell like some franchises are now https://t.co/Z67r0yQjLN
