Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has purchased a stake in the Milwaukee Bucks, the team announced on Friday between the first and second quarter of the Bucks’ Game 3 playoff game against the Boston Celtics. The Packers quarterback and Wisconsin sports fanatic joined the ownership group of the NBA's Milwaukee Bucks as a limited partner, the basketball organization announced during its playoff game Friday evening. Rodgers was sitting courtside with his girlfriend, racecar driver Danica Patrick, and fellow Bucks owner Wes Edens for the game, which the Bucks won 116-92 to cut the Celtics' series lead to 2-1. Rodgers, 34, is the first active NFL player to own a piece of a major sports franchise based in his own team's market. As a huge fan of the NBA and the sport of basketball, this is a dream come true for me, and I look forward to furthering my affinity for Wisconsin sports as a minority owner in a team I love and support.”

The Packers brought Rodgers to Wisconsin as a first-round pick in 2005.
