Butler acquires the team! Hello, boss!

First of all, congratulations to Butler, who is about to become one of the owners of Crystal Palace. As a famous Premier League team, I have to say that the position of boss or shareholder is quite ranked. The acquisition was led by former Morgan Stanley executive Esmiley and legal counsel Mill, who joined as an NBA star to expand its influence.

It is said that the total investment this time reached US$200 million, and the acquisition ratio exceeded 43%. As we all know, the three-piece set of sports stars entrepreneurship: ① Red wine ② Real estate ③ Acquisition of the team. The slightly younger three goals completed the acquisition of the team as early as the Australian NBL period. Wade, as Butler's senior, also spent a huge amount of money to win the identity of one of the Jazz bosses.

Similar situations include James and Durant. Perhaps many fans do not know that James is actually one of the shareholders of European giants Liverpool, while Durant holds some stake in Paris Saint-Germain. It's very interesting at first glance. Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool and Crystal Palace have all performed well this year.

Paris Saint-Germain won the Champions League, Liverpool won the Premier League, Crystal Palace just won the 2025 FA Cup, qualified for the UEFA Cup, and its business value is at a high point, which can be regarded as a good investment. Of course, in terms of holding shares, most NBA stars can only be called "little bosses", while Jordan is making drastic acquisitions in the true sense.

In 2010, Jordan acquired most of the shares of Bobcats and took it off in 2023. There is no player in real power to control the NBA team at present, and James may be the next one. NBA President Adam Shawhaw has repeatedly publicly claimed that he will add two new teams in Las Vegas and Seattle. It is said that the time is in 2026 or 2027, and James is the largest potential opportunity person in Las Vegas.

It is revealed that James has found a consortium to inject funds, and he will make large investments and use his personal influence to become the spokesperson for the Las Vegas team. By then, James is also at the age of retirement. Can he become the real boss of a brand new team? This wave deserves continuous attention.
