Bezos Blocks King James: Amazon Mogul Throws Shade on LeBron’s Celtics Ownership Dream, Leaving Boston Fans Reeling!
The Boston Celtics, 18-time NBA champions, are up for sale, and the interest is pouring in.
Despite the hefty price tag to maintain their roster, potential buyers are eager to take on the project.
Fenway Sports Group, partnered with LeBron James, was the first to show interest, which could ultimately lead to James becoming a part-owner of the team. However, a new player has entered the scene: Jeff Bezos.
According to Bill Simmons, Bezos’ name has been circulating in NBA circles as a serious contender to acquire the Celtics.
With Amazon’s recent media rights deal with the NBA, owning the Celtics would significantly expand Bezos’ influence in the league.
Interestingly, Bezos sold $5 billion worth of Amazon stock around the time Wyc Grousbeck announced his intention to sell the team, fueling speculation about his interest.
While Bezos hasn’t publicly expressed his desire to own the Celtics, valued at nearly $6 billion, Simmons believes he has made moves to position himself for a potential purchase.
The prospect of Bezos owning the Celtics would be a significant development, given his vast resources and Amazon’s growing presence in the NBA.
The Celtics’ rich history and loyal fan base make them an attractive asset, and Bezos’ involvement would undoubtedly bring a new level of excitement and investment to the team.
As the situation unfolds, it’s clear that the Celtics’ sale will be a highly competitive and closely watched process.
