Alex Rodriguez banks in half-court shot to win Bucknell student $10K

Alex Rodriguez is a busy person these days.

In addition to his MLB analyst duties for FOX Sports, Rodriguez recently added the title of NBA Owner to his lengthy resume. Just this month the MLB great, along with business partner Marc Lore won an arbitration case to become majority owners of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Minnesota Lynx. That victory, decided on a 2-1 basis, brought to an end a lengthy process that began in 2021 when Lore and Rodriguez agreed to purchase the two teams from Glen Taylor for $1.5 billion. However, Taylor asserted that a final payment was missed in March 2024, and that the teams would no longer be for sale at that point.

But arbitrators ruled for Lore and Rodriguez, paving the way for the duo to become owners.

It was that partnership that brought the pair to the campus of Bucknell University on Sunday. Lore and Rodriguez, along with Bucknell Trustee Jordy Leiser, participated in a roundtable titled “World in Transition” on the school’s campus Sunday morning.

But when that was done, Rodriguez headed to a basketball game. With the men’s basketball team hosting Army the MLB legend was in attendance, and at halftime he was on the court, taking part in a promotional activity where he would take a shot from halfcourt for a chance at winning $10,000 for one lucky student.

That’s when Rodriquez banked in his second big win of the month:

After banking in the shot, Rodriguez wheeled away to celebrate with the student section.

Not a bad Sunday on campus for the MLB great.
