The Phoenix Suns are up for sale and there have been a number of groups preparing bids on the franchise. One notable person potentially involved in buying the franchise is Barak Obama.
“The days of somebody being able to put in a little amount of money and run the team.. those days are over,” said Bill Simmons. “That was a moment. The one guy who might pull it off and I heard, I’m probably breaking some news here, but I heard Obama is involved in one of the groups. And that’s the one guy who I feel like would make him the actual face, and the money guys would be so happy to have him in the front.”
Obama played basketball in high school and is said to be a close observer of the NBA.
The NBA currently only has one lead African-American owner in Michael Jordan of the Charlotte Hornets.
