NBA Approves Bill Chisholm as Celtics Owner…
It’s official: Bill Chisholm is on the verge of owning the Boston Celtics. After what seems like the longest plot twist since last year’s finale of “Billionaires of the NBA,” the NBA Board of Governors has approved the sale. The board’s decision was as surprising as a cat winning a beauty contest—predictable yet necessary. This moves us one step closer to the dramatic finale of this epic year-long saga.
The Celtics’ sale has been in the works since last July, back when they celebrated their 2024 NBA Championship win. Picture this: champagne, confetti, and a ‘For Sale’ sign hanging just outside the victory parade. Fast forward to March, and news broke that Chisholm, a Celtics fan so dedicated he probably considers Lucky the Leprechaun his best friend, would be purchasing the team valued at a whopping $6.1 billion. The sale is scheduled to complete by 2028, with 51% handed over first. In a plot twist worthy of a soap opera, Wyc Grousbeck plans to hang around as CEO, even as Chisholm assumes the title of Governor, because what’s a team without its alternate Governor, right?
