Brooklyn Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov has completed the sale of a 49 percent interest in the team to Joe Tsai Robert Quinn Jersey , who could become the controlling owner in three years.

The NBA’s Board of Governors unanimously approved the sale Thursday to Tsai, the co-founder of China-based global internet company Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.

Prokhorov will remain the controlling owner for now through Onexim Sports and Entertainment Holding USA Inc. However, the deal allows Tsai to acquire further shares in 2021. If exercised, he would become the controlling owner.

Prokhorov bought the Nets in 2010 and the Russian oversaw the Nets’ move from New Jersey to Brooklyn. The sale does not include Barclays Center, which his company will continue to own.



Houston Texans star defensive end J.J. Watt won the NFL’s Walter Payton Man of the Year Award on Saturday night.

The award recognizes a player’s contribution in his community and to society in general. It was given out at NFL Honors Jason Verrett Jersey , when The Associated Press announced its individual NFL awards.

Tight ends Benjamin Watson of the Baltimore Ravens and Greg Olsen of the Carolina Panthers also were finalists.

Watt, in his seventh NFL season and a three-time Defensive Player of the Year, had the goal of raising $200,000 for Hurricane Harvey relief in Houston. His fundraising did a whole lot more, bringing in an incredible $37 million in 19 days.

Watt has dedicated himself to finding organizations that will apply the funds in a fair and effective manner.

”I cannot express how humbled and honored that I am to be mentioned in the same sentence as Walter Payton Ted Ginn Jr Jersey , a man who did everything right not only on the field but off of it,” Watt said in his acceptance speech. ”And I’m going to continue to try to live that legacy and make that family proud.

”This award is called The Man of the Year Award, but I promise you it is so much bigger than that. This award is about the inherent good that lies within humanity. It is about the city of Houston and its ability to overcome adversity at a time when it all seemed lost. It is about the hundreds of thousands of people from all over the country and all over the world that donated to a city they may never have been to, to people they may never meet. But they donated simply because they saw their fellow human going through a difficult time and they wanted to help out.”

Peyton Manning presented the award to Watt.

”Whether we realize it or not, we are affecting everyone around us with our every move Kevin Faulk Jersey ,” Watt added. ”The more than we can shine a light on the positivity and the good that we are in this world, the better off we’re going to be. We all have to go through this crazy journey together, so why not help each other out and make it as great of a journey as possible.

”I’m incredibly grateful, I’m incredibly thankful to receive this award and I will cherish it for the rest of my life. The only thing that I ask of you is to join me in trying to carry on the legacy that Walter Payton left behind of leaving this world better than we found it. Take a moment, ask yourself Earl Thomas III Jersey , `How can I make a difference? No matter how big, no matter how small, how can I make a difference?’ And when you have your answer, go out and do it.”
