Timberwolves owner Alex Rodriguez hangs with Barry Bonds in surreal moment before Game 3

A-Rod and Bonds were also shown sitting together during the Timberwolves’ 102-97 victory, which put Rodriguez’s club up 2-1 in their second-round series. It also turns out that Bonds was Rodriguez’s “Uber driver” in San Francisco before the game, and he naturally got a five-star rating.

Álex Rodriguez is riding high as his Timberwolves continue through the playoffs. After smacking the Los Angeles Lakers in five games in the first round, Minnesota has bounced back against Golden State after losing the first game of the series. Stephen Curry’s injury has given the Timberwolves a massive advantage, and they’re in position to advance to the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive season.

It has been quite the professional journey for Rodriguez since he joined MLB in the ’90s. While he was a bona fide superstar on the field, his career was marred by MLB’s steroid scandal, just like Bonds. Both men aren’t in the Hall of Fame because of it.

But Rodriguez has moved past that and continues to enjoy great success in life after his playing career. He joined Marc Lore to buy the Timberwolves from Glen Taylor in recent years, and just this season they finally got the sale through after some legal hurdles.

Now Álex Rodriguez is focused on Minnesota trying to win a championship, but that won’t stop him from enjoying time with an old foe from his MLB days.
