WATCH: A-Rod drains half-court shot to win $10,000 for lucky student

Former MLB All-Star Alex Rodriguez can still play some ball, even if it’s not on the diamond.

The three-time American League MVP, who now works as an MLB analyst for Fox, knows his way around the basketball court as well – as he showed Sunday afternoon.

At halftime of Bucknell’s college basketball game against Army, Rodriguez came out of the stands to attempt a half-court shot as part of a halftime promotion. Hitting the shot would win $10,000 for a very lucky student.

After prolonging the drama for a few extra moments by tossing the ball high in the air, Rodriguez picked it up on the bounce, heaved it toward the hoop and banked it in as bedlam erupted.

Rodriguez was on campus taking part in a special forum with his business partner Marc Lore.

Earlier this month, arbitrators ruled in favor of Rodriguez and Lore in their effort to become majority owners of the NBA’s Minnesota Timberwolves and WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx.

The pair have been working since 2021 to acquire a majority stake in the Timberwolves and Lynx from owner Glen Taylor. However, Taylor called off the sale last March, saying Rodriguez and Lore didn’t meet the final payment deadline in the deal.

With the victory in arbitration, Rodriguez and Lore – who currently have a 40% ownership stake – now need approval from NBA owners to purchase their remaining 40% to gain controlling interest. They will need 75% of owners to approve the sale of the team.
