New Celtics owner William Chisholm has said all the right things since news broke on Thursday morning that a group led by him agreed to purchase the NBA franchise for $6.1 billion — the highest sum paid for a sports team in North American history.
Speaking to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the managing partner at Symphony Technology Group and Georgetown, Mass. native stressed that he plans on keeping the Celtics’ contention window ajar for the foreseeable future.
“This process to buy the team started just under 50 years ago when I had my 7th birthday and attended a game at the old Boston Garden,” Chisholm told Charania.
