In a lighthearted moment shared on social media, Alex Rodriguez expressed his admiration for baseball legend Barry Bonds, giving him a five-star rating as an exceptional Uber driver. Rodriguez revealed that every time he visits San Francisco, calling upon Bonds is a must for transportation.
The two icons were seen courtside at the Chase Center ahead of Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinals, where the Minnesota Timberwolves faced off against the Golden State Warriors. Rodriguez humorously noted his appreciation for Bonds while also addressing Bonds’ legendary status in Major League Baseball, specifically referencing his career total of 762 home runs. In contrast, Bonds appeared surprised by Rodriguez’s assertion of hitting “about 720” home runs throughout his career.
As for the game action, the Timberwolves managed to even the series 1-1 with a victory in Game 2, capitalizing on a difficult shooting night for the Warriors and the absence of their star player, Stephen Curry.
This camaraderie between two sporting legends highlights the tight-knit community within professional sports and how athletes from different leagues can connect and support each other. The atmosphere at the Chase Center promised an exciting match-up as both teams aimed to gain an edge in the series.
