🐐 Diana Taurasi & Sue Bird Court Dedication
Krause House dedicated a court to the GOATs of women’s basketball, Diana Taurasi & Sue Bird for Women’s History Month.
The vision stemmed from Dluxe#3503 who had won a court painting of her choice from Krause House’s “Heat Check” competition. Dluxe#3503 envisioned a court dedicated to the GOATs of women’s basketball who have paved the way for millions around the world.
This was a collaboration with Dluxe#3503, dbag#3251, Mike Swift and MetaHoops NFT with the participation of Mayor @vicosotto, @gretchenho, and the @smartgilasph Women's National team. Thanks for helping us paint!
Dluxe#3503 even took the extra step to share the footage with Diana who then shared it on her Instagram!
“What an amazing project, it’s an honor! Love to see a community come together. Credit to @iammikeswift, @metahoops.nft, @krausehouse_nba for organizing.”
Vanessa Bryant, Steve Nash and Mike Evans were a few names that commented in support.

Episode 2 - President, Adam Kovacs joins as our guest. We talk about his humble beginnings as he went from an amateur fighter in Hungry, to a World Karate Championship medalist.

Retainer Budget for NBA Ownership Acquisition Counsel
Summary:
As Krause House engages with NBA owners regarding potential minority ownership acquisitions, having experienced legal counsel ready to support transaction structuring reduces obstacles to to quickly closing a deal. Hogan Lovells is a global law firm with deep experience in sport. In particular, they have served both owners and acquirers in the NBA and have close relationships with the league.
It’s worth noting that our prior legal expenditures have been focused on Krause House DAO’s structuring which is a different skill set & experience than executing a NBA deal.
