According to the Associated Press on the 2nd (Korea Standard Time), the Boston club released a statement and announced its plan to sell most of its stake in 2024 or early 2025 and dispose of the remaining stake in 2028. Boston’s stake is owned by Boston Basketball Partners LLC.
Boston Basketball Partners purchased the Celtics from the Gaston family for $360 million (W500 billion) in 2002, led by venture capitalist Wick Grosbeck, his father and investor H. Irving Grosbeck, and venture capitalist Steve Pagliuca.
“After careful consideration and internal discussion, the family of the group that owns the stake decided to sell the team for heritage and family planning reasons,” Grossbeck said. 동행복권파워볼
Boston beat the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA championship game last month to win its 18th career championship.
Boston, one of the most prestigious NBA clubs, said last year that Forbes, an economic magazine, had a brand value of $4.7 billion (about 6.5 trillion won).
This ranks fourth among NBA clubs after the Golden State Warriors ($7.7 billion), the New York Knicks ($6.6 billion), and the Los Angeles Lakers ($6.4 billion).
