Images of James, released this week, showing him in the Saudi capital of Riyadh shooting hoops in the gymnasium with a banner screaming “Welcome to Arabia” and “Ministry of Sport” strategically placed behind him sent many fans into a tizzy.
Another X post showed James strolling out of a building followed by a gaggle of Saudi men in traditional checkered head scarfs and white dress robes.
It is unknown if James is following the footsteps of other sports superstars banking big bucks to join a Saudi team. Soccer greats, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi received multi-million-dollar deals propping up the Saudi regime along with golfers Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson who play in the county’s LIV Golf.
