Serena Williams has officially entered the team-owner stage, joining the WNBA's newest expansion team, the Toronto Tempo. She is teaming up with Larry Tanenbaum of Kilmer Sports Ventures to bring "basketball boss" to a resume that already boasts tennis great, business leader, and general force to be reckoned with.

With the Tempo poised to shake things up in the league, fans are already speculating about whether or not Serena's competitive spirit will translate to boardroom battles. One thing is certain—for Serena Williams this is not just a publicity stunt. She said:

"I am thrilled to announce my ownership role in the first Canadian WNBA team, the Toronto Tempo. This moment is not just about basketball; it is about showcasing the true value and potential of female athletes – I have always said that women's sports are an incredible investment opportunity. I am excited to partner with Larry and all of Canada in creating this new WNBA franchise and legacy."

As soon as the news went viral, someone took to his X account and commented:
