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 last year, and that idea also interested James, who was a stake owner of the Liverpool team in the English Premier League.

Miami had an MLS team, the Miami Fusion, between 1998 and 2001, but the Fusion disbanded afterwards.
