Who is Mark Walter? What to know about Los Angeles Lakers new majority owner
Who is Mark Walter? What to know about Los Angeles Lakers new majority owner Show Caption Hide Caption Lakers' offseason: How to improve around Luka Doncic The Lakers must decide how to move forward with Luka Doncic as their new centerpiece after a surprising playoff loss. Mark Walter just became one of the most powerful owners in all of sports. The CEO and founder of holding company TWG Global is set to acquire a majority ownership stake in the Los Angeles Lakers, acquiring it from the Buss family − led by Jeanie Buss − for a $10 billion valuation. It's not only a monumental day in Los Angeles, but in the United States as it becomes the most expensive purchase agreement of a U.S. pro sports franchise in history. The Lakers are one of the most recognizable sports brands in the world, and the sale could mean grand things for the team that has won 18 NBA championships. It will be the first time in more than 45 years that the Lakers won't be owned by the Buss family. Jerry Buss had purchased the team in 1979. So with Walter becoming an even more important figure in sports, here's what to know about the new Lakers owner: Who is Mark Walter? Walter is a 65-year-old businessman from Iowa.

Walter serves as the team chairman. Under his leadership, the Dodgers have won two World Series − 2020 and 2024 − four National League pennants, 11 NL West division titles and have made the playoffs every year.

Walter was part of David Geffen's bid to buy the Los Angeles Clippers in 2014, when the team went for sale after former owner Donald Sterling was banned by the NBA for racist remarks. However, the team eventually went to Steve Balmer, who acquired the Clippers for $2 billion.

Johnson added on a second post that Walter is 'driven by winning, excellence, and doing everything the right way.'

Dodgers' Dave Roberts Makes Decision After Shohei Ohtani Pitching Debut
Dodgers' Dave Roberts Makes Decision After Shohei Ohtani Pitching Debut originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Shohei Ohtani made his first appearance on the mound since August of 2023, a consequence a September surgery to repair damage in his throwing elbow. Advertisement While Ohtani was able to excel as the Dodgers' designated hitter in 2024, the real draw was his ability to pitch at an elite level while also swinging a hot bat in the same game. Manager Dave Roberts, who said he was "kind of fanboying" for half an inning, will manage the National League All-Star squad at the Midsummer Classic in Atlanta. While Ohtani will undoubtedly join Roberts at Truist Park, Roberts also made a decision on who he would send to finish the National League's coaching staff. Los Angeles Dodgers designated hitter Shohei Ohtani (17) and manager Dave Roberts (30) look on from the dugout in the seventh inning against the Los Angeles Angels at Dodger Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images The MLB announced that Roberts had invited Braves manager Brian Snitker along with Marlins manager Clayton McCullough to also coach the National League side in July. Advertisement Snitker's nomination isn't surprising, as the Braves will host the festivities, and Snitker is well-respected across the league. The surprising bit is inviting McCullough, whose Marlins are the fourth-worst team in baseball. McCullough was the Dodgers' first base coach from 2021 to 2024 before getting hired by the Marlins to manage the team, so that likely explains Roberts' decision. Roberts joined Yankees manager Aaron Boone as the skippers for this year's game, a rite he earned by winning the National League pennant in 2024. Roberts will likely get to manage several of his own players, including catcher Will Smith (1.12 million votes), Ohtani (1.4 million votes), Freddie Freeman (1.14 million votes) and Teoscar Hernandez (685,553 votes).
