As Stephen Curry and LeBron James are the two lighting up the court and receiving much of the attention in the NBA Finals, it is their team owners – Peter Guber of the Golden State Warriors and Dan Gilbert of the Cleveland Cavaliers – who are quietly winning off the hardwood.
Oracle Arena, the current home of the Warriors in Oakland, California, is considered to boast one of the best crowd atmospheres in all of sports. Fans cheer for each Draymond Green dunk and roar for every Curry three-pointer. But the capacity limits less than 20,000 to see their beloved players live, leaving the unlucky millions of others to watch the game on television.
