The @celtics ownership group has agreed to sell the team to William Chisholm, managing director and co-founder of Symphony Technology Group, for a record $6.1 billion, a league source told the Globe on Thursday. The sale is pending approval by the NBA Board of Governors.

The sale is the highest sum paid for a North American sports team in history, surpassing the $6.05 billion Josh Harris paid for the NFL’s Washington Commanders.

🏀We haven't defected from basketball! However for UK basketball's sake, this needs to be addressed.
Go to YouTube and listen to these football legends, all talking about a new potential football league rule, where there's no relegation yet there's also no investment.... Sound familiar...🏀
For decades UK basketball has been run on goodwill and passion for the sport, despite it being the second most popular teamsport in the UK. With a sport that's accessible to so many, covering all the government tick boxes they could imagine, we still struggle to produce pathways for professional athletes in the sport.
We've seen respected players recently reach out to the governing body in the UK, huge credit to all involved in this outreach

SUPER LEAGUE BASKETBALL responds to BBF🏀 👇🏼
Posted by all clubs Saturday 1st February 2025.
-Super League Basketball was created by the existing clubs in the summer of 2024 and awarded the license to operate a professional league in Great Britain for a period of three years. Since then, clubs have collectively invested over £15 million to establish an exciting foundation for growth.

SLB clubs in good faith engaged with the British Basketball Federation throughout last summer to continue elite professional men’s and women’s basketball in Great Britain.

It was understood then that a collaborative approach would be undertaken to secure a longer-term licence on behalf of the SLB. This has not happened, and we have not at any time been consulted or included in its development, despite the fact we were listed as key stakeholders in the tender application process.

Following the BBF’s decision to run an open invitation to tender for the long-term license to run the men’s professional league in GB, the SLB’s shareholders and directors unanimously took the difficult decision to withdraw from the process after concerns were raised over the legality of the BBF’s actions.

Despite communicating these concerns to the BBF over a period of months, the SLB never received any substantive responses and the tender document did not allow for any changes to fees and conditions. This approach would have rendered the league un-investable.

We will continue to engage with all necessary stakeholders in order to safeguard the future of basketball in Great Britain.

Checked out an updated local court, pretty disappointing from a basketball perspective 🏀
❌Lost one complete side of bleachers.
❌No refurbishment of backboard/hoops.
🗺️Floor looks like a subway map.
📏 Questionable layout/dimensions
🤔No basketball lines for using middle court.
2nd most played teamsport in UK, and this is how it's embraced...great foresight 😕
Thankfully they cater well for the 4 people playing badminton....
