I think he\u2019s gonna be one of the suitors.\u201d Simmons said on his podcast.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Jeff Bezos is interested in buying the Celtics, per <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BillSimmons?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BillSimmons<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the last few days there\u2019s been some I think legitimate buzz about Jeff Bezos buying the Celtics, and I think it\u2019s real.

What does he want? And I think the only way it makes sense is that it\u2019s one of the crown jewel franchises. That\u2019s why you get it. To him, it would be no different than if you bought this famous gigantic $300 million yacht but I think it\u2019s real that he\u2019s potentially in the mix for this.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Celtics were valued $4.7billion by Forbes earlier this year, which makes them the fourth most valuable <a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/tags\/basketball\/\">NBA<\/a> team in the league after the Knicks, Lakers and Warriors.<\/p>\n<p>Although they were valued at just under $5bn, Simmons believes a bid closer to the $6bn mark would be needed to buy the Celtics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe league wants $6 billion for the Celtics (sale). They don\u2019t own their arena. It\u2019s a crazy price but they are probably going to get it. There\u2019s that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bezos is the second most wealthy person in the world right now and acquiring the Celtics would be no problem for the billionaire who has a reported net worth of around $200bn.<\/p>\n<p>From <a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/\">Sportslens.com &#8211; NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB News, Rumors &amp; Betting Picks<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/news\/jeff-bezos-reportedly-interested-in-buying-the-boston-celtics-according-to-bill-simmons\/\">Jeff Bezos Reportedly Interested In Buying The Boston Celtics According To Bill Simmons<\/a> &#8211; originally posted on <a href=\"https:\/\/sportslens.com\/\">Sportslens.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Boston Celtics are up for sale and according to Bill Simmons, billionaire Amazon founder Jeff Bezos has legitimate interest in buying thee franchise.
