Aaron Rodgers is getting a championship ring as a partial owner of the Milwaukee Bucks
Aaron Rodgers said after the Milwaukee Bucks won the 2021 NBA championship:
Aaron Rodgers was drafted by the Green Bay Packers as the 24th overall pick in the 2005 NFL Draft. He is a three-time NFL MVP and is regarded as one of the best quarterbacks in NFL history. Naturally, he is considered a Wisconsin legend and is heavily loved by the people of the state. He wanted to purchase a stake in Wisconsin’s NBA team, the Milwaukee Bucks, a while ago but nothing could materialize. However, when the opportunity to do so showed itself again in 2017, he spoke directly with Bucks co-owner Wes Edens and Bucks President Peter Feigin.
Following the conversation, Aaron Rodgers had secured a 1% stake in the franchise in 2018, as reported by the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel. The Milwaukee Bucks are now NBA champions after 50 years and are valued at around $1.62 billion (according to Forbes).
