Like so many other NBA team owners, Kings boss Vivek Ranadive has a life outside of basketball. He’s the CEO of TIBCO, a software company that is a leader in real-time data processing. (One of his software inventions revolutionized Wall Street decades ago.) Global Illuminati like to hang out together, and Davos is their Summer League. As such, Vivek is at Davos.

The only thing better than Vivek in Davos is imagining the Maloofs in Davos. Or talking about Davos. “Davos? Is that the new club at the Wynn?”
