Legendary Basketball Tycoon

1996 was an extraordinary year for friends in the United States who like basketball and the NBA. This year not only witnessed the establishment of the dynasty of the Seattle Supersonics for three consecutive years, but also witnessed the "96 Golden Generation" in the upcoming draft. Birth.

Of course, this is a story, but the most talkative topic among American fans today is that NBA teams will have three teams changing hands at the same time.

This is definitely a major event in NBA history.

The first player to play is the Philadelphia 76ers in the East.

After the 1995-96 season, the owner of the Philadelphia 76ers, Harold Katz, sold the team to Leslie Alexander for $12.5 million.

Yes, that's the stingy owner of the Rockets in the previous life.

In this life, under Bruce's intervention, Alexander defeated Houston.

For the more conceited Alexander, it was quite a blow in his heart.

Bruce's cross and one bar not only gave the Houston Rockets the ownership of the local wealthy Feltita, but also disrupted all his other careers.

He could have bought the Dallas Mavericks not far from Houston.

But this time he encountered a local snake again. Cuban's reputation in Dallas is not small. In addition, he learned that Bruce and Cuban had business dealings through private investigations.

This is terrific. I didn't buy the Houston Rockets last time, and this time I want to buy the Dallas Mavericks.

The reason why Alexander didn't forcibly buy the Mavericks with Cuban was because he was afraid of Bruce.

God knows how Bruce's lunatic would avenge him if he bought the Mavericks.

After all, Larry Miller’s lessons learned did not last long.

I forbearance!

I can't afford to provoke me, but I can't hide it!

Fortunately, the owner of the Philadelphia 76ers in the east, Harold Katz, wants to sell the team.

Not bad, I met an idiot who doesn't know how to do business.

You know, Philadelphia is one of the top ten cities in the United States, ranking fifth.

This city, coupled with the market value of the team after the appreciation, even Bruce, who is crazy for money, is extremely speechless after knowing it.

If you can, Bruce also wants to buy the Philadelphia 76ers.

It’s a bargain, $12.5 million, which is exactly the price of cabbage.

I really don't know what Harold Katz thought about that idiot.

Bruce is depressed and depressed, but just think about it. If he could buy a team, he would not buy a team in Philadelphia.

why?

Can Bruce tell everyone that there are very few Chinese in Philadelphia, and racial discrimination is more serious?

If the Chinese boss really bought him, God knows what will happen.

However, Alexander has been happily recently, his face is full of pride in the spring breeze, and he is awakened even from dreaming at night.

Without him, not only did the cabbage price buy the Philadelphia team, but when he was about to buy the Houston Rockets in 1993, he paid $85 million.

8500 changes to 1250, the gap is not a bit big.

In addition, the 76ers also won the “No. 1 lottery” in the lottery not long ago.

That can get Allen Iverson's "No. 1 pick"!

Do you think Alexander can be upset!

Then let's talk about the Dallas Mavericks in the West.

Mavericks owner Donald Carter also decided that I will not play with you.

Ready to sell the team.

Many investors have heard the news.

Classmate Cuban is one of them, and he has "heavy money" in his hands.

For the Dallas Mavericks, he is bound to win.

However, he met a consortium of investors headed by Jr. Ross Perrott.

This is a bit of a headache. If no one is fighting, it is good to say that Cuban can buy the Dallas Mavericks at a very small price.

If someone really comes to fight, Cuban is not an opponent. Anyway, Bruce has already packed up to buy the Mavericks. If the money is not enough, he will ask Bruce for it.

Cuban's idea is quite simple, when I saw Bruce still care about you.

Fortunately, after several rounds of fierce offers, Cuban finally won the Dallas Mavericks for $100 million.

The price of 100 million US dollars is really not expensive in terms of current prices.

The key is who you want to compare with. If you compare it with the 75 million Spurs owner Holt paid in 1993 and the 85 million Magic owner DeVos paid in 1991, it's definitely not expensive.

If that compares with the Alexander above, then you must be a big idiot, and you're the kind of people who come quickly with a lot of money.

Since then, the Mavericks have finally returned to Cuban's hands, which is five years ahead of the time when the Mavericks were acquired in the previous life.

After introducing the top two teams in the East and the West, the next one will be the absolute highlight.

The New York Knicks, the city brothers of the Eastern New York Hans, have changed hands.

The owner is not someone else, but the silly James Dolan of the previous New York Knicks.

ITT Industrial Group wanted to sell the team a long time ago, but couldn't find a suitable seller.

The New York Knicks team is different from other teams. As the face of the NBA, the owner after each change of ownership is either a well-known rich man in the United States, or his character image must be positive.

When Bruce arrived, he was ready to buy the New York Knicks, but the league's requirements were too high, so Bruce had to start all over again.

James Dolan is a positive image?

Don't be kidding, this little fat guy is still drinking and taking drugs.

Why is Dolan Fatty the owner of the Knicks?

This also starts from the family background of Duolan Little Fatty.

Dolan Fatty is the son of Charles Dolan, the largest and best cable television founder in the United States.

Do you think Dolan Fatty can buy the New York Knicks by his own ability?

To tell you the truth, it is impossible.

The league will not want a person who is drinking and taking drugs to affect the league's image to buy his face.

The reason why the New York Knicks can sell to James Dolan is entirely because the league looks at the face of the Dolan family, but the real owner is the cable TV group.

The Dolan family is so powerful that even Bruce himself has no way to fight against this family.

This is not to say that Bruce is financially weaker than the other party, but that the other party's group represents the nation's image.

To use an analogy, the cable TV of the Dolan family is equivalent to the CCTV of China, except that one is a privately-owned TV station and the other is a national TV station. How do you think Bruce compares with this family?

Can you buy the New York Knicks for $30 million?

Of course not!

Without the support of the Dolan family's cable TV group, how could ITT Group sell the team at this price?

As the face of the nation, Charles Dolan of the Cable TV Group hated iron and steel and pressed Dolan Fatty into the Knicks.

It's really not to blame Mr. Charles for doing this, it's that his youngest son James is too unworthy.

Take a look at Bruce’s current achievements, and then look at you. You are either drinking or taking drugs for a day, or going out to have fun.

Why are the same sons, why is the gap so big?

At this time, the old Charles pulled his youngest son a hand. In addition to wanting the youngest son to make a difference in the future, he also wanted to get rid of Bruce's influence in the United States.

How can anyone snore on the side of the couch, there can only be one overlord in New York, either the cable TV group or the Tianhan Empire Company!

You don't really think that Bruce's annual buying of people's hearts to support the poor in poor areas is something American politicians like to see.

The cable television group is the first **** chosen by these politicians.

The same city derby has always been the hottest. Since the cable TV group wants to take over the Knicks, why would they refuse it?

Therefore, the cable TV group's entry into the Knicks is just the beginning. Those politicians in the United States would not want to see a Chinese flaunt in the United States.

It's a pity that the old Charles doesn't know how bad Dolan Fatty is in the future. Let Dolan Fatty control the team is the darkest moment since the Knicks was founded.

...

It can be said that since Bruce founded the New York Hans in 1992, the trajectory of history has become unrecognizable.

Alexander went from Houston to Philadelphia, the early appearance of Filtita and Cuban, and the coming of the dark age of the brothers in the same city, the Knicks, were all instigated by the butterfly of Bruce.
