A legacy franchise
I don’t see how they could get that much

That franchise is not worth 6.1 billion in my opinion.

It doesn’t matter what our opinions are, the fact is they were sold for 6.1 billion, so the private equity guy who bought the team thought the team was worth 6.1 billion.

Blaster if someone was willing to pay 6.1 billion then they are worth 6.1 billion

Don't underestimate how popular the Celts are around here.

The valuation for the entire NBA is 138 billion. But you don’t like basketball, so that’s a pesky fact that clouds your judgement.

$138,000,000,000 for a bunch of guys running around in shorts dribbling a ball? They did it for free for years in an empty parking lot.
