Jay-Z Won’t Pressure Lebron James
Hip-hop entrepreneur Jay-Z wants the team’s new move to be coupled with a new name – the Brooklyn Nets – and he wants to add his pal LeBron James to the line-up when the basketball ace’s contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers is up. But Jay-Z insists he will not pressure James into switching teams: “We’ll have a great team surrounding him so hopefully he’ll come to Brooklyn.
“He’s my friend first so I wouldn’t do that to him if we didn’t have a chance of winning (the NBA championship) because he’s going to be great. I want him to be great. Whatever team lands him, I want him to be great.”

Jigga, what?!
I hope it goes through then NY can have two teams like LA and the Knicks can be the Clippers!!! Woop woop!
Somebody posted as me, zigazow.
Even getting 1 Ring with Shaq = Diesel burnout, empty tank, possible explosion. 3 Rings? Don’t think Stern likes LeBron that much, yet. He’s not getting a 5 finger discount Kwame:Pau-equivalent trade.
