While Jay Z has helped bring in top notch picks like Kanye West & Beanie Sigel to Roc-A-Fella Records, he's hoping he can help bring in other top ballers to the New Jersey Nets.
After a few years of having a minority stake in the team, Jay Z will be representing it at this month's NBA Draft Lottery. The lottery is set to air live tomorow at 8pm on ESPN.
"This is very exciting and I hope my nickname "Lucky Lefty" holds up," Jay said in a statement.
The Nets only have a 1.1 percent chance of landing the number one pick in the draft, which will commence Thursday, June 26.
Jay Z, Usher (Cleveland Cavaliers) and Nelly (Charlotte Bobcats) are the only Hip Hop/R&B acts with a minority stake in a professional sports team. Jay has also been working to move the Nets from New Jersey to his own stomping grounds of Brooklyn, New York. -HHDX
