American business leader Marc Stad has completed a deal to become the controlling owner and largest shareholder of the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves and WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx by buying the majority of co-owner Marc Lore’s stake at a $4.5 billion valuation, sources tell ESPN.
"You're just crushed for him, the role he was kind of paving for himself and just having a personality, experience, toughness that he brought in such a short amount of time. We're going to miss him." - Head Coach Kevin O'Connell on Jamal Adams
I’m struggling dealing with our loss yesterday.
My Challenge family is so important to me it’s kinda hard to put into words.
And yet they are not a part of my day to day life. We live all over the world.
Meaning, my family, friends, and work colleagues just don’t get it or see it.
I talked on the phone yesterday with several Challenge friends to grieve together because we’re all essentially alone in dealing with this.
I normally don’t talk about this kind of thing publicly, but y’all actually get it more than the people I’m around. And even though you might never have met Tyler, it would not surprise me if he made a memorable impact.
Again - Tyler was one of the most remarkable men I’ve ever met. He lived an inspiring life and leveraged every minute he had.
I’m just sick thinking of how big of a hole he left in y’all’s hearts, the challenge family’s heart, and his actual family’s heart.
