Despite retiring from baseball in 2016, Alex Rodriguez’s relationship with sports didn’t come to an end. As a part of his massive business ambitions, Alex Rodriguez always wanted to own a team. And after his failed bid on the New York Mets, the 2009 Yankees World Champion moved to the NBA.
After purchasing a stake in the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2021, A-Rod has spent the last few months traveling with his team, alongside his girlfriend Jaclyn Cordeiro. Analogous to that, the $350 million business mogul traveled to Utah for the NBA All-Star weekend. But it wasn’t him who made the headlines, but his girlfriend, who got towered by an NBA giant.
