Vince Carter and Tracy McGrady have entered the realm of ownership as the two NBA Hall of Famers become limited partners in the Buffalo Bills ownership group. Carter and McGrady’s move makes history as two of the first minority stakeholders in the AFC East’s team’s storied history.
The cousins both shared their sentiments about the new business venture and what it means to their legacies. The pair spoke to the WNY powerhouse, which allowed a diverse group of people to come in and take ownership of the team for the first time.
“It’s a huge honor to join this historic Bills organization,” Carter said. “I’m truly thankful the Pegula family has given me the opportunity to help the franchise continue to grow and thrive in player growth, community service and of course winning the Lombardi trophy. See you soon Bills Mafia!!!!”
“I’m excited to share that I’ve joined the Buffalo Bills organization as a minority owner—a dream come true for me and my family,” Grady said in a statement. “Sports have been a lifelong passion, and the chance to contribute to such a top-tier organization is a true honor. After meeting the Pegulas, understanding their vision, embracing their values, and sharing their commitment to winning, this decision felt natural. I’m incredibly proud to be part of this journey.”
Along with the NBA greats, business minds such as Rob Palumbo, Sue McCollum, Theresia Gouw, Rob Ward, Mike Joo, Tom Burger, and and MLS Champion Jozy Altidore have also signed on to become minority stakeholders.
