Wow… I wonder why? Jordan doesn’t exactly need the money and I always pegged him as a guy who probably enjoys being an owner.
How will this affect LeBron’s legacy? 🤔
3bill for the hornets? How much are the raptors worth?
Man stays winning.
Imagine if Billionaires didn’t own sports clubs. Imagine if a bunch of everyday random people owned sports clubs instead.
What if the “Bee Keeper Collective” owned the Hornets.
Or the “American Federation of Musicians” owned the Jazz.
“The Rare Stone Geology Club” owned the Nuggets.
“Dinosaur Research Institute” owned the Raptors.
The “Garbage Collectors Of NY” owned the Knicks.
The Orlando Magic owned by S.A.M. “Society of American Magicians”.
Warriors owned by a bunch Kindergarten teachers.
Well, he always had an impeccable sense of timing
Are the new owners gonna be fun and silly and trade the #2 pick?
Isn’t it crazy that /r/nba is still closed?
Ah, Gabe Plotkin from Melvin Capital, a dude who shorted GameStop (GME), and got blown away (and liquidated, closed down later) to the tune of billions of $ by /r/wallstreetbets.
Still remember when the Bobcats would crush us in the season series.
See: Melvin capital bankrupt because Gabe plotkin is the biggest loser in 21st century finance
That’s another nice chunk of change for MJ.
He bought the team for 180m in 2010.
0 playoff series wins in 13 years.
Sells for 3 billion.
GOAT things
Lol Gabe loss MJ so much money from gamestop that he had to sell his stake
I bet the second overall pick, added 250,000,000 to the evaluation
Hopefully these new owners will clean out all of Jordan’s nepotism hires and hire competent FO staff that can build a contender.
Lakers that are now worth 250 billion:
