Billionaire Tony Ressler bought the Atlanta Hawks in 2015. In the time since, he's learned as he's gone along -- and it hasn't been easy.
"Let's cut the bulls---," Ressler told The Athletic. "I didn't know what I was doing. I can blame someone else, I can blame you, I can blame my wife. But there was only one schmuck in the room, and that was me."
A group led by Ressler, an owner of the private equity and investment firm Ares and a real estate developer, reportedly paid approximately $850 million for the Hawks as the team was entering postseason play as the top seed in the Eastern Conference in April 2015.
