Alex Rodriguez stuns college basketball fans by draining half-court sH๏τ to win student $10,000

Former Major League Baseball star Alex Rodriguez showed his skill on the hardwood Sunday by banking in a half-court sH๏τ to win a Bucknell student $10,000.

The 14-time All-Star was invited to take the sH๏τ during halftime of Bucknell’s basketball game against Army, which the Bison won 84-53.

The 49-year-old tossed a high-arching sH๏τ that banked off the backboard and through the hoop, setting off a celebration with students.

‘I try to tell people, professional athletes no matter what the sport are just DIFFERENT, y’all,’ one fan wrote on X. ‘And that athleticism translates.’

‘That was way too clean,’ another added.

The three-time MVP was at Bucknell to speak about his company Jump Platforms, which he founded with two other entrepreneurs, Jordy Leiser and Marc Lore. Lore and Leiser graduated from Bucknell, and Leiser is a trustee.

Afterwards A-Rod was sure to take a pH๏τo with the ecstatic Bucknell student and beneficiary of the half-court sH๏τ.

Lore and Rodriguez are currently working to complete their troubled acquisition of the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves.

Earlier this month, a three-person arbitration panel ruled 2-1 that controlling owner Glen Taylor must cede control to Lore and Rodriguez in the disputed final phase of the $1.5 billion sale. The deal was uniquely arranged nearly four years ago to give Lore and Rodriguez the majority stake.

The binding ruling issued February 10 granted Lore, an e-commerce entrepreneur and investor, and Rodriguez, the former Major League Baseball star, a 90-day extension to finish the acquisition. The sale is subject to approval by the league’s board of governors, with at least 23 of 30 team owners needing to vote yes.

‘We look forward to working with the NBA to complete the approval process and close this transaction so that we can turn our attention to winning championships in Minnesota for our incredible fans and the Twin Cities community,’ Lore and Rodriguez said in a statement.

The 83-year-old Taylor, who grew up on a Minnesota dairy farm and built a fortune with a business that specialized in printing wedding invitations, bought the Timberwolves for $88 million in 1994 to prevent the franchise moving from New Orleans. Taylor and his wife, Becky, issued a statement expressing their disappointment in the ruling.

‘We will review the decision thoroughly prior to making any further comment. We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Timberwolves and Lynx players, staff, and loyal fans for their support,’ the Taylors said.

Days later, NBA commissioner Adam Silver said he expected the deal to ‘move forward.’

‘But first,’ Silver told reporters at this month’s All-Star Game, ‘Glen Taylor does have a decision to make as to whether to appeal that arbitration decision. I mean, that’s Glen’s decision to make. I haven’t talked to him directly about that.

‘I think, though, that A-Rod, certainly Marc Lore, are well-known to the league at this point. They’ve already been vetted and approved as minority owners. I think they understood that the league had no role in this arbitration. That was something they had agreed to as part of their purchase agreement.’
