Junior Bridgeman - Wikipedia

He had an astute mind for business...and put it to use during off seasons and after his playing career.

Entrepreneurial career​

[edit]
During the off-seasons of his playing career, Bridgeman worked and learned the business model of Wendy's fast food restaurant franchise. After retiring from the NBA, he invested in the franchise and eventually owned over 100 various Wendy's and Chili's restaurants, before selling in 2016.[17][18]

In 2016, Forbes ranked Bridgeman the fourth-wealthiest retired athlete in the world behind only Michael Jordan, David Beckham, and Arnold Palmer with an estimated income of $32 million.[19]

As President and CEO of Bridgeman Foods Inc, in 2017, Bridgeman became a bottler for The Coca-Cola Company,[20] and in 2018, he signed a letter of intent to buy bottling operations in Canada.[20]

In December 2020, Bridgeman, via Bridgeman Sports and Media, bought Ebony and Jet for $14 million after the magazines had declared bankruptcy earlier in the year.[21]

On May 26, 2022, Manna Capital Partners, an investment firm cofounded by Bridgeman, announced that the firm had partnered with Ball Corporation to construct and operate an integrated secondary aluminum mill in Los Lunas, New Mexico.[22] On October 18, 2022, Alabama Governor Kay Ivey announced that Manna Capital Partners would invest in a bottling facility to be located in Hope Hull, Alabama and operated by affiliate Manna Beverages & Ventures.[23]

On September 24, 2024, the Bucks announced that Bridgeman had purchased a 10% interest in the team, with the deal valuing the franchise at $4 billion. According to Bucks co-owner Jimmy Haslam, Bridgeman purchased the interests of several minority owners at an undisclosed discount from the stated value.[24]

Three's a 3 way tie now in the EC for the 4 seed.
Bucks, Pacers & Pistons.

In the WC, only 1 game separates the 2 seeded Nuggets, from the 3, Lakers, and the 4, Grizz...with the 5, Rockets, just 1 game behind the 3 & 4.

Yikes. His salt still dripping from 04 and 05 losses.

Yea, him hating on the sport and a team that actually plays a ton of inside ball is a problem

That could be part of it and it is his job to know what's going on, but honestly who outside of Detroit other than those who watch EVERYTHING is watching the Pistons? Not to be mean, just not a national name for some time now and no national coverage.

Everything? No not at all, have some general idea of their record? Uh yea.

Do i expect him to know their coach? Uh yea. By saying Chauncey he got 2 teams coaches wrong.

For a regular fan Id expect them to not have seen much Detroit ball...obviously.
