Which got me thinking, why would Jeff Bezos, when he\u2019s looking at the Celtics, what is he seeing? What does he want? I think the only way it makes sense\u2014I mean, granted, he has a gajillion dollars\u2014but it\u2019s one of the crown-jewel franchises, right? That\u2019s why you get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To him it\u2019d be no different than if he bought this famous, gigantic, $300 million yacht. But I think it\u2019s real that he\u2019s potentially in the mix for this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not the first time Bezos has been linked to a team on the market, and it likely won\u2019t be the last. Fans of long-tortured sports franchises have dreamed of Bezos serving as a billionaire in shining armor, riding into town in an expensive car to rescue their cursed team from bad ownership. And owners and leagues would benefit from having the mere mention of Bezos\u2019s infinite pockets drive up bids for their teams, making everyone richer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Amazon founder and <em>Washington Post<\/em> owner is worth roughly $196 billion, according to <em>Forbes<\/em>, making him the second-richest person on Earth. Sports team valuations have gotten so astronomical that a dwindling number of people\u2014including Bezos\u2014who don\u2019t already own major franchises can afford to buy one outright. Simmons said the NBA wants to see the Celtics sell for $6 billion, which would set a record and raise the payout owners would get from possible expansion franchises. (Commissioner Adam Silver has said expansion is on deck now that the league\u2019s new media rights deals are finalized.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey want to get $6 billion apiece,\u201d Simmons said of expansion fees, \u201cwhich would mean a check of $400 million to every NBA owner.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In recent years, Bezos has been linked to potentially owning the Washington Commanders and the Seattle Seahawks, two cities in which he has ties. Amazon was founded in Seattle, while Bezos owns the local newspaper in the nation\u2019s capital. But the Commanders were sold to Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils owner Josh Harris for $6 billion. The <em>Financial Times<\/em> reported Bezos was \u201csimply outbid\u201d by Harris for the Commanders. The Seahawks\u2019 interest started in 2019, but nothing came of it. He has also been linked to the Phoenix Suns, Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Chargers in recent years; those teams were ultimately sold to people other than Jeff Bezos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nick Watanabe, a sports management professor at the University of South Carolina, says Bezos\u2019s name will keep coming up if he doesn\u2019t buy the Celtics. \u201cThere\u2019s not that many billionaires in the world,\u201d Watanabe tells <em>Front Office Sports.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s not even the first-time possible NBA interest from Bezos has been alleged on a Simmons show. Former Knick Charles Oakley said in 2019 that Bezos was interested in purchasing his former team. Two months earlier, Simmons had said Knicks owner Jim Dolan was \u201ccourting offers\u201d for the team, which Dolan later denied. Five years later, Dolan still owns the team.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeff Bezos is reportedly interested in buying the Boston Celtics, the reigning NBA champions who went up for sale shortly after capturing their 18th title. \u201cIn the last few days there\u2019s been some I think legitimate buzz about Jeff Bezos buying the Celtics, and I think it\u2019s real,\u201d \u201cI think he\u2019s gonna be one of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9099,"menu_order":204,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9098","america","type-america","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Jeff Bezos is reportedly interested in buying the Boston Celtics, \u00bfsports betting interest?
