Life sure is nice when you’re Alex Rodriguez! He’s one of the best athletes on the planet over the past 50 years, dominated in the MLB, made a ton of money and now owns an NBA team.
In the world of sports, what more could you possibly ever want to do? The dude doesn’t know how to stop winning.

His biggest challenge now will be getting the younger players on the TV to know who he is. As we learned from Anthony Edwards, A-Rod might not be as popular among the youth as you might think.
Hey Ant, how do you feel about Alex Rodriguez being the new owner of the Minnesota Timberwolves?
