Mo' Money, Mo' Problems: Jay-Z Better Off Investing in New York Knicks than New Jersey Nets
Bleacher Report
by Joey Rotunno
The hip-hop generation and the NBA are forever intertwined, but so far, Shawn Carter’s status as an iconic MC—one who many an athlete has idolized—has had no bearing on his ability to attract professional basketball’s cream of the crop.
That being said, perhaps the franchise he owns is simply that unappealing to potential suitors, and it’s going to take a lot more than a move to Brooklyn to create any buzz.
While it’s a bit of a hassle to back out of his arrangement with the Nets, it is always an option for Jay-Z to sell his share and reinvest in the team on the other side of the East River.
...I can hear the remix now: If you’re havin’ money problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but the Knicks ain’t one.
