Justin’s father Larry owns the NBL.
He acquired the Melbourne Tigers NBL team in 2012 before announcing that the team would change to Melbourne United two years later.
In 2015, Larry acquired a 51 percent stake in the National Basketball League in exchange for a A$7 million equity stake.
He also founded Internet service provider Dodo Services in 2001 with his cousin Michael Slepoy and Igor Gilenko.

Meanwhile, Justin proposed to Sophia at their house in December last year.
“When we first met, Justin bought three loaves of artisan olive bread to my apartment with butter and a bucket of salt, he proposed 2.5 years later with the same spread at home,” Sophia wrote on Instagram at the time.
“I cried so much I gave myself cold sores and blisters on my eyelids, but we’re on CLOUD 9!”
“You have shown me love and companionship I could never have imagined, and a growing family that I love like my own. To be completely obsessed with you @justinkestelman forever.”
The couple celebrated their engagement and Sophie’s 30th birthday in January at Omnia Bar and Bistro.
