A pathway has opened up and could see\u00a0LeBron James<\/a>\u00a0gain an ownership stake in an\u00a0NBA<\/a>\u00a0team that\u2019s currently on a very bullish trend.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Boston Celtics<\/a>\u00a0are the reigning NBA champions, but the owners are looking to sell the team as it appears they\u2019re looking to cash out at the best possible time. It\u2019s understood that they are after a record fee of $6 billion.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0New York Post<\/a>\u2019s Josh Kosman reports that Fenway Sports Group is considering lodging a bid for the Eastern Conference side. If they succeed, they will become the owners of both the Red Sox and Celtics.<\/p>\n

FSG, which also owns the Pittsburgh Penguins and Liverpool FC in England, has a partnership with James. So, he would have an easy route should he want to buy into the 18-time NBA champions.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoston Red Sox<\/a>\u00a0Owner Fenway Sports Group and RedBird Capital that partner closely with LeBron James are seriously considering bidding for the Celtics, sources close to the situation said,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Kosman writes.<\/p>\n

Still, LeBron would have to take his time, as the NBA does not allow active players to own franchises.<\/p>\n
