Not long ago, but a year back, Alex Rodriguez teamed up with business tycoon Marc Lore to purchase the Minnesota Timberwolves for a whopping $1.5 billion. They even made a down payment of $250 million to own 20% of the shares.

But since A-Rod failed to generate enough money to become an equal partner of the Timberwolves, he became a secondary partner and bought only 7% shares of the Timberwolves.

And now, when A-Rod and Lore have to pay the second installment by the end of 2022, the former Yankee is having trouble generating money. Although it may sound strange, A-Rod’s breakup with his ex-fiancee, Jennifer Lopez, has reportedly caused him this downfall. Even Judd and Mackey agreed upon the same.

Not only, Judd and Mackey, but even a New York Post report also suggested that Jennifer Lopez unknowingly helped Alex Rodriguez build his brand image. And Marc Lore teamed up with A-Rod because of Jennifer.

“His ability to raise capital went from strong to meaningfully weaker. J.Lo validated him,” said the NY Post report.

While discussing how long A-Rod will be able to be a part-owner of the Timberwolves; Judd and Mackey said that a year later, A-Rod might no longer be a part-owner of the Timberwolves.
