Former Disney CEO Bob Iger and entrepreneur Joshua Kushner were originally in talks to acquire an NBA team in Las Vegas. However, a last-minute shift in strategy enabled them to purchase the renowned Los Angeles Lakers instead.
Bob Iger served as Disney’s leader until he retired in 2020. His significant impact on the entertainment industry established him as a prominent Hollywood figure. In a 2021 podcast hosted by NBA guard J.J. Redick, Iger was featured as a guest, highlighting his influential career.
The acquisition of the Lakers, a major player in professional sports, marks a significant move for both Iger and Kushner. Their involvement is expected to bring new perspectives and strategies to the team’s management.
