It's the Rocafella sign put up by Jay-Z in and others in his label, in the past. Larry Johnson said he was sponsored by Jay-Z's clothing label Rocawear, and hence throwing up the "roc" (as it is officially called)

And since Jay-Z stole it from wrestler DDP that symbol cost him some money. http://www.prowrestling.com/article/news/5477

Isn't it kind of pointless if 95% of the people watching have no freaking clue what it is? Sort of like the Darius Miles head tap/moose impersonation in basketball, shamelessly stolen from pro beach volleyballer Brian "Moose is loose" Lewis, who was doing that when Miles was still in preschool.

I bet more people thought it had something to do with Diamond Dallas Page than Jay-Z...
