LeBron James and Maverick Carter last year became the newest partners in the Fenway Sports Group, making them part owners of the Boston Red Sox, Liverpool Football Club and other entities.

Carter, an entrepreneur and James' longtime friend and business manager and partner, on Wednesday joined the Boston Red Sox Foundation Board of Directors.

“For the past decade, I have had the privilege of working closely with Mav and have seen firsthand how he incorporates community and service into every aspect of his work,” said Red Sox Foundation Chairman Tom Werner in a release. “In addition to his incredible business acumen, his experience in sports philanthropy and athlete empowerment will be invaluable in how we continue to grow the programs and vision of the Red Sox Foundation. We are fortunate to have his talent and wisdom and look forward to deepening his connection to the Red Sox and FSG family.”

Carter played with James at St. Vincent-St. Mary High School before becoming James' business manager and partner.
