Alex Rodriguez is marking his spot in different fields. While his MLB career is his identity, A-Rod is also a successful businessperson and investor. The legend has continuously backed up his teams since he invested in the NBA and WNBA teams in 2021. The Minnesota Lynx part-owner’s recent social media post shows his sportsmanship in accepting situations, whether good or bad.
A-Rod’s excitement about WBNA’s upcoming championship was unparalleled, but that got a brutal hit. After his NBA?dreams were shattered, the legend hoped his WNBA team would pay him back. The last WNBA game of the?Minnesota Lynx against Connecticut Sun didn’t go well. However, the former Yankees legend still showered praise for his team on Twitter (now X).

It was so fun to watch and I can?t wait for next season.”

The Connecticut Suns swept away the Minnesota Lynx
After observing the Lynx’s early takeover strategy in the second game, the Suns got the point that they should be the ones taking the lead early. In the second game, the Lynx took the lead early and they won the game. So, the Suns didn’t repeat the same mistake again. They started aggressively and took the 20-6 run lead at the beginning of the game. Until the game reached its first half, the score was 49-34, with the Suns having their three goals.
The aggressiveness worked on the Minnesota Lynx, and they lost the pace by missing four straight field goals. Their pace returned with Carleton’s three-point shot, but it was too late. The Suns already took control until then.
