NBA fans are trolling Robert Pera after Pablo Torre reported that the billionaire wanted to buy out all the minority owners. According to Torre, Pera felt insulted when a woman thought that minority owner Justin Timberlake actually owned the Grizzlies instead of him. This infuriated Pera so bad that he threatened to buy out all the minority owners of the Memphis franchise.
“He was once told by a woman he met one night that he, in fact, was not the owner of the Memphis Grizzlies because she read that Justin Timberlake was the owner. (Pera) was so mad that he threatened to buy out the rest of the minority owners, because how embarrassing it is to be the guy, only for Timberlake to get your shine.” Pablo Torre said on The Dan Le Batard Show.

“Nothing more dangerous in this world than a billionaire with a fragile ego (face palming emoji)” one fan stated.
“NFL owners: It’s playoff SZN let’s ride, MLB owners: 2 months until we’re BACK, NHL owners: The Olympics are gonna be SICK, NBA owners: ‘ACTUALLY I OWN THE GRIZZLIES NOT JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE’” another fan trolled.
“Bro spent $377M on a franchise just to flex it in the club and still lost to JT’s face card (crying emoji) Pera out here treating the Grizzlies like a Bumble superboost subscription that expired. Justin got the motion for free.” one more fan joked.
