When billionaire businessman Mat Ishbia had been in the pursuit of purchasing the Phoenix Suns, he needed a majority 'yes' from fellow NBA t eam owners to go ahead with the deal.
Of the 29 owners across the league, 28 owners gave the green light, and one owner abstained from voting. That owner is one that Ishbia has a long-standing feud with - Cleveland Cavaliers ' Dan Gilbert.
Both billionaires are from Detroit, Michigan and have long competed way before they both owned NBA teams.
