LeBron James makes ownership pitch to NBA commissioner: "I want the team here" in Las Vegas

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James has made a direct appeal to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver about owning an expansion team in Las Vegas one day. 

In a postgame news conference after the Lakers' loss against the Phoenix Suns at T-Mobile Arena on Wednesday, he made his intentions in Sin City clear to Silver.

"It's the best fan base in the world," he said. "I would love to bring a team here at some point."
