Miami Heat All-Star LeBron James had been in discussion with soccer star David Beckham to bring a new MLS soccer team to the South Beach, confirmed James.
Beckham was considering owning a soccer franchise after his retirement in 2012, and that idea also interested James, who was a stake owner of the Liverpool team in the English Premier League, Xinhua reported.
