The basketball version of the New York Mets would mean being one of the top 5 most profitable franchises in the NBA. I think every team in the NBA would take that. Putting odds on any free agent 2 years away is stupid but I do think it is legitimate to not that an owner of our team (and Brooklyn native) and Lebron James are basically best friends and consider each other family.

And just so you know here is a quick lesson on NYC. It has 5 boroughs and Brooklyn is the most populous. The Yankees are in the Bronx, Mets in Queens, the Knicks in Manhattan. Does anyone comparing those franchises say they are in different markets? Why would Brooklyn be any different?

I am done with this argument because it has gone from a logical discussion on the merits of an article to ignorant statement after statement with a clear bias against rational thought. Good luck with the rest of your day and remember to lookout for anyone listening to rap because they could be a drug dealing thug looking to kill you, brag about it, and acquire minority ownership in an NBA franchise.

Jay-Z has gone on record as saying he sold drugs. He has gone on record as saying he has shot at people. He said he did it in the past, but he had no problem telling people this. I am not saying it because he is a rapper, I am saying it because he admits to doing it.

This really isn't much of an argument. You are essentially saying that Jay-Z is going to bring LeBron to the Nets. No...it won't happen. Jay-Z is not his best friend. His best friends are part of the group he created to help represent him. If anything, Jay-Z is a mentor. I am sure Jay-Z will want to get LeBron, but the Nets will not be in a position to offer him a chance to win. Devin Harris and Nanad Kristic won't get the job done...sorry.
