Suns owner Mat Ishbia went off on Cavs owner Dan Gilbert’s rival business in a leaked voicemail: “We f**king took those c**ksuckers down. F**k them, and we’re gonna keep f**king sticking it to ‘em forever. F**k those guys, we’re number one.”

>MUCH more from a bombshell @hntrbrkmedia investigation that reveals how Ishbia obliterated Gilbert — and may have fleeced everyday Americans in the process

    it’s remarkable how 3 of the billionaire owners in NBA come from the same school, graduated around the same time and do the same business and are based in Detroit.

    Also, Gores sold his business to Ishbia and Gores is partner with Gilbert in MLS team.

    Way too many people watched Wolf of Wall Street and thought it was an endorsement of Jordan Belfort.

  4. Cavs @ Suns tomorrow. Can we replace the game with a cage match between Ishbia and Gilbert?

    These dudes get rich in finance/tech/real estate and think that makes them the smartest boy in the room whenever they try to do anything else lol

    I remember reading that when a new owner joins, they have to get approved by all of the board of governors as a standard procedure – Gilbert abstained for Ishbia’s vote lol

  7. everyoneneedsaherro

    I’m out of the loop. What’s the context? Is he this excited over a regular season win or something?

    My shitty mortgage company is better than your shitty mortgage company

    Didn’t Dan build his own empire, and Matt’s dad give his to him?

    This is at least a quarterly occurrence with Ishbia

  11. ebenizaa

    He ended it with “My .44 make sure all y’all kids don’t grow”

  12. beachsunflower

    Sounds like something out of Succession. Strong Kendall energy.

    Ishbia is the number one boy.

  13. UrbanChophousePR

    A pissing match between billionaires. Yay.

  14. e_a_blair

    sounds like Devin Booker talking about the Pels

  15. BillowingPillows

    Gilbert is the only owner who didn’t ok Ishbia’s purchase of the Suns.

    I worked for UWM for a short period. Super weird culture, almost cult-like. They try to stress how fun work is so they can overwork and underpay you.

    Somewhat unrelated but I also did some work for Robert Sarver’s sister which is a whole another story. Met Sarver a couple times he acts exactly how you would think.

    This is the link to the actual article: https://hntrbrk.com/uwm/

    I thought this part was interesting:

    >Twenty-nine of the league’s 30 owners voted to approve the United Wholesale Mortgage CEO’s bid. Just one abstained: Dan Gilbert of Rocket Mortgage, the company whose ass Ishbia allegedly had been celebrating kicking — according to members of the mortgage industry who confirmed the voicemail’s authenticity with Hunterbrook.

    Not surprised by anything in the article, billionaires and their large corporations fighting with each other and screwing over the American people in the process. Not what you want to hear but par for the course

    I have worked Dan and been in several meetings with him.
    A ton of guys I know how Ishbia. Like have text messages with him, and were in active group chat as late as 2017 or 2018. Its weird he is in the Billionaire Boys Club now.

    From what I know about both I’m Team Gilbert. Ishbia is having a midlife crisis and it shows.

    You’re number 1 where exactly? Payroll tax? Probably. 

  20. alexdagreat15

    Just like he sticks it to his employees lmaooo

  21. Ishbia has always had big coke head energy to me and this 100% confirms my suspicions lol

  22. brook_lyn_lopez

    Both are these guys are billionaire scumbags
