On Thursday, private equity director William "Bill" Chisholm became the newest owner of the Boston Celtics. Purchasing a controlling stake in the franchise for a record valuation of $6.1 billion, Chisholm will take the reins from the current ownership group led by Wyc Grousebeck over the coming years; Grousebeck will reportedly stay on in his role as team governor during the transition.
Shortly after the news dropped, Chisholm released his first statement as owner of the Celtics via Business Wire.
