Alex Rodriguez is a person of many abilities. It seems taking pictures hoops is one in all them, and a fortunate school scholar was capable of revenue from it.
The longtime MLB star sunk a half-court shot at halftime of Bucknell‘s 84-53 win over Army on Sunday. Rodriguez’s shot went off the backboard and in, which received a Bucknell scholar a $10,000 prize because of this.
Rodriguez’s shot gave the impression to be part of an all-around taking pictures problem that included Bucknell alums Marc Lore and Jordy Leiser. Lore and Rodriguez are set to develop into the bulk house owners of the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Lynx. The ultimate shot was Rodriguez’s half-court make.
As Rodriguez’s shot went in, the group at Sojka Pavilion went wild. Rodriguez ran over to the fan who received the $10,000 prize and picked him up in celebration. That fan was a Bucknell scholar from Philadelphia named Owen, who Rodriguez jokingly mentioned had transformed from being a Philadelphia Phillies fan to a New York Yankees fan. Owen plans to make use of the cash to assist pay for his school tuition.
“That is a lovely factor,” Rodriguez mentioned in a social media video supplied by the college. “Mother and father, you are welcome. You have to be Yankees followers, too. Owen’s boy. We received collectively at present.”
Rodriguez was at Bucknell’s campus in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, as a part of a discussion board to discuss Bounce Platforms, an organization he based alongside Lore and Leiser.
