“True Heart, Hustle and Grit”- Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez Couldn’t Be More “Proud” As His NBA Team Enters Playoffs Defeating the Favorites

Alex ‘A-Rod’ Rodriguez is one of many athletes to traverse sports after retirement. After becoming a commercial success with his business enterprise in the A-Rod Corp, he even invested in a minority stake in the NBA and WNBA.

His team, the Minnesota Timberwolves, just played out a tremendous upset over the LA Clippers as the NBA post-season ramps up. And A-Rod couldn’t be prouder of his team and the resolve they showed.

Taking to social media to express the pride he felt at making the NBA post-season, A-Rod beamed from cheek to cheek on the win. The Minnesota Timberwolves took on the LA Clippers in the NBA Play-In tournament to decide the Western Conference contenders. And despite being marked heavy favorites, the Clippers succumbed in a 104-109 loss to allow the Timberwolves to make the playoffs as the 7th seed in the Western Conference.

A-Rod was in the arena as the Minnesota Timberwolves orchestrated an upset in the NBA postseason. With a majority of pundits expecting the LA Clippers to make it through the Play-In Tournament as the 7th seed, the Timberwolves stepped in to say, not just yet. Despite star Karl-Anthony Towns falling behind on expectations, newer players stepped up to pick up the mantle.

Rodriguez seemed to truly enjoy the display by his players that was on show. “So proud of this team.”, wrote Rodriguez

The performance was truly inspirational as the team came from behind in the 4th quarter to snag a victory and send themselves to the postseason. “True heart, hustle and grit tonight all game long. A real TEAM win fueled by that incredible crowd,” he added.

And with Anthony Edwards starring in the game; the Timberwolves now advance to meet the Memphis Grizzlies in a first-round match-up. While most expect them to be bundled out, they have shown that they are capable of throwing up a surprise or two.

Alex Rodriguez acquired a minority stake in the team in 2021 and is reportedly on track to complete a full buyout by 2023. Part of an ownership group with e-commerce mogul Marc Lorre, the team is seeing solid results; and if these continue, the Timberwolves could be well on track for a deep post-season soon.
