The latest in Wyc Grousbeck sale situation. Is the UAE involved in the potential sale? Will they buy them out? In international settings, a lot of people want IN on American sports. The NBA has the most international appeal in all of American sports. It is more likely that you are going to see an overseas fund buy the team? This could be true, but they would only be allowed to own 20% of the team.
If you ask Celtics lead owner Wyc Grousbeck why he wanted to buy a sports team, he has a hard time explaining why. Isn't it just obvious? If you love your hometown team and you love to compete, what could be better? When he and his family engineered the purchase of the Celtics in 2002, Wyc vowed to “win Banner 17 or I will die trying.” The Celtics recently raised Banner 18, and he and his family are ready to sell the team. Shirley talks to Wyc about how to build a championship team and his legacy as the owner of the storied franchise. Email us at saymore@globe.com.
