The Houston Rockets surprisingly went up for sale when the team announced recently that Leslie Alexander is selling the team. Alexander has been one of the best owners in the NBA for a long time and it was a disappointment for many in the Houston area when the announcement was made. But, the Rockets may have a new type of great owner in the near future. According to Scott Soschnick of Bloomberg.com, Beyonce is now thinking about buying a part of the Houston Rockets.
Pop superstar Beyonce, a Houston native, is mulling an investment in the National Basketball Association’s Rockets, according to people familiar with the matter.
The Rockets declined to comment. Beyonce’s publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment. The entertainer’s representatives at Sony Music Entertainment declined to comment. A spokeswoman for her husband, Jay-Z, also didn’t immediately respond.
Beyonce would likely have just a small role as a part owner but it would still be great to have one of American’s cultural leaders being a part of the Houston Rockets organization.
