To take the sport to the next level, baseball legend Alex Rodriguez. in a partnership with business tycoon Marc Lore, bought stakes in NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves in 2021. Since then, A-Rod has done everything in his capacity to boost the morale and confidence of the team to take on a new high. Recently, he was seen at courtside when the Timberwolves gave their all against the Lakers. They eventually lost the game, though.

While it was an important game, it completely did not take the chances of keeping the Timberwolves out of the playoffs. One more game and it will decide the future of the Timberwolves for the 2022-23 season. To cheer the team on, while posting a video of the snippets of the amazing game with the Lakers, A-Rod wrote, “Never an easy place to win. Do or die on Friday, we’ll be ready. @timberwolves.”

The do-or-die game is just a few hours away now, and the former Yankee is ready for the ultimate showdown to decide the future of the Timberwolves. Notably, if A-Rod’s team wins, it would be the second time happening since he and Marc Lore took over in 2021. 

Why did A-Rod buy stakes in the Timberwolves?

A year before trying to buy the Timberwolves, the MLB icon Alex Rodriguez tried to buy the baseball team he watched the most while growing up, the New York Mets. He tried to do so with Marc Lore and his ex-fiancee Jennifer Lopez by his side.

Even though that deal collapsed, the hunger in A-Rod to become the owner of a sports team wasn’t going away. Thus he went ahead and bought the Timberwolves by owning only 20% at first, and the rest later.
