If you didn't know already, Lebron James has a stake in English Premier League with the team Liverpool. He has been following the sport since he joined the NBA. Now talks are heard of that Lebron and retired MLS star David Beckham are trying to possibly bring a MLS franchise to South Beach. Both have showed sign of interests in getting a team Lebron stated "David has become a good friend of mine over the last few years, and I think it would be great for this city to have a football club for sure."Beckham attends a lot of Miami Heat games. South Florida has been without a team since 2001 when the Fusion folded out. The team only lasted from 1998 to 2001 with the games being played in Fort Lauderdale.LeBron believes that this area has great youth soccer, and that it would be a great area to have a MLS team. In addition to the Liverpool club James owns a sports store in Miami mall, and his Wife Savannah plans to open up a juice bar near their home in Coconut Grove. Overall James seems to be playing it smart both on and off the court.
