The Boston Celtics were officially sold on Thursday, with private equity manager and Massachusetts native Bill Chisholm purchasing a controlling stake of the team from the current ownership group at a valuation of $6.1 billion. It is Chisholm's first time purchasing a professional sports franchise and as such nobody really knows what to expect from the new Celtics' decision-maker.
Chisholm offered some insight while speaking to ESPN's Shams Charania, and Celtics fans are going to like what they here. Chisholm offered up two simple goals for the team under his stewardship: winning games, and winning championships.
