Alex Rodriguez can't stop winning. Two weeks after the arbitration ruling that set the stage for him and Marc Lore to become majority owners of the Minnesota Timberwolves and Lynx franchises, Rodriguez was part of a cool moment at Bucknell University on Sunday afternoon.

At halftime of Bucknell's game against Army, A-Rod got the chance to shoot a half-court shot and win $10,000 for a student with a make. He casually banked it in and then went to celebrate with the student section.

Just a casual Sunday afternoon for Alex Rodriguez… here he is banking in a half court shot to win 10K for a Bucknell Student

Why was Rodriguez at Bucknell, a small Patriot League school in Lewisburg, PA? Because that's where Lore went to school as an undergraduate in the early 1990s.

Bright lights. Big stage. Sojka is the place to be! Excited to welcome Alex Rodriguez, Marc Lore ’93, and Jordy Leiser ’06 courtside. #rayBucknell 🔶🔷 pic.twitter.com/qy2PgEQMyJ

Once the NBA's board of governors approves, Rodriguez and Lore will take over for Glen Taylor as the majority owners of the Timberwolves and Lynx.
