Pablo Torre is looking to continue his generational run.
The award-winning investigative journalist Torre spoke this week at Front Office Sports’ “Tuned In” summit. During the appearance, Torre revealed that he is planning to investigate the situation of Philadelphia 76ers star LeBron James, particularly when it comes to James’ use of a Fanatics helicopter.
“It’s something that I also have been watching,” said Torre of the situation with James. “I know that Fanatics logo. I saw that.
“On that story, I will say that we are very interested,” Torre added about his team. “We’re also getting tips from NBA owners, who are sending me [the James helicopter story] being like, ‘What is this?'”
James, who just signed with the 76ers earlier this offseason, will actually be living in New York while he plays for the team and will be taking helicopter rides back and forth. But earlier this month, it was revealed that James would be receiving the costly chopper trips completely for free as part of his endorsement deal with Fanatics (read the full details here).
Meanwhile, Torre has become a major star in the world of journalism thanks to his investigative work, most notably breaking the Kawhi Leonard salary cap circumvention story that resulted in the LA Clippers being docked five future first-round draft picks. While it is unclear at this point if the situation with James is even remotely similar, Torre is now committed to getting to the bottom of that one as well.
