You can add another deep pocket suitor to the list of billionaires trying to purchase the Boston Celtics. The Ringer's Bill Simmons claims that there is "legitimate buzz" that Amazon's executive chairman Jeff Bezos is interested in purchasing the most storied NBA franchise.

Bezos's worth is estimated at around $200 billion, so the Celtics' asking price of $6 billion would be a drop in the bucket for him. Now would he be a good owner beyond having the crazy capital to pay whatever luxury tax was needed? That is up for debate.

And truth be told all NBA owners make so much money in equity with their franchises that they all could pay whatever luxury tax is needed.
