(Video) NBA: Atlanta Hawks Are Still For Sale, But T.I. Isn’t Buying…Here’s Why!
Tip’s hometown Atlanta Hawks may be for sale, but he wants no part of being part of a new ownership group.
His take is interesting because part of the reason he doesn’t want to deal with it is he claims NBA owners have no power, a statement most fans and players would laugh at.
He is “excited” about how well the Hawks are doing this season but says he’s flat out “not interested” in ownership.
“The thing about me owning a NBA franchise you never get bigger than the NBA,” T.I. says.
“So, whatever it is that you do, it’ll be controlled by a bunch of people who probably have more money than you. And who have been involved with the organization for longer than you. So you won’t be able to do a lot of the things that you want to do. So, I’m not interested.”
He has a point to a certain extent. If he came up with the money to be majority owner then he wouldn’t have to worry about it but if we are talking a minority stake in the team then yes, he is right and he would not be able to make many decisions.
