"Let's do whatever we can to win championships and raise banners, and raise as many as we can,"
"I will do whatever it takes, whatever the Boston Celtics need me to do."
"I feel like I have something to add here. This was an opportunity that was a dream that came true. For me to have this chance, I would never forgive myself if I didn't go for it."
Bill Chisholm led a group that will pay at least $6.1 billion to acquire the Boston Celtics after unanimous NBA approval, marking a record price for an American professional sports franchise. Chisholm is a Massachusetts native and private equity executive who pledged to support existing leadership and to help the team pursue more championships. Wyc Grousbeck and Steve Pagliuca bought the team in 2002 for $360 million and oversaw two titles, four Finals appearances and 20 playoff seasons in 23 years. Grousbeck will remain CEO for five years and will serve as alternate governor once his ownership share falls below 15%.
