The club’s current owner, Robert Sarver, 60, was suspended for a year and fined $10 million over an investigation accusing him of racism and inappropriate behaviour. He stated that Sarver had created a toxic work environment at the club.
He has not yet revealed the names of the participants in the group of investors surrounding former US President Barack Obama. However, media reports talked about what it described as “the largest sale of a club in the history of the NBA”, with an amount of four billion dollars. The $2.4 billion sale of the Brooklyn Nets held that record so far.
It is worth noting that US President Barack Obama is not the first US president to obtain shares in an American club, as George W. Bush (76), the forty-third president of the United States of America from 2001 to 2009, had previously obtained shares in Texas Rangers baseball team, 1989-1998.
