You’ve got the Raiders, you’ve got the (Golden) Knights, you’ve got the Aces, of course. LeBron said, “You got F1 coming very soon.” There have been several instances of All-Star Weekend. The NBA Summer League is in full swing… Bringing an NBA team here would only boost the city’s already promising future.
