He has yet to convince many in the sports business world, on Wall Street and even among Silicon Valley dealmaking colleagues in Silicon Valley .

One NBA owner told The Post “I have no clue who he is”.

A person close to Chisholm denies that he put up any debt in the deal himself.

The deal includes a $1 billion -plus commitment from the PE firm Sixth Street .

Both are Dartmouth grads and played on the school’s soccer team together.
