Basketball Hall of Famer Dikembe Mutombo says he wants to get into NBA ownership and is looking for partners to join a bid for the Houston Rockets.
"I'm trying to convince some people about trying to buy this team," Mutombo told Houston's Fox 26 Sports. "It's one of the best franchises right now. It's really the right time."
He said he was looking for partners who can "cut the check and they can make me be part of it." He said he has been in contact with potential buyers since Monday, when Leslie Alexander announced he would put the team up for sale after 24 years of ownership.
