Tiger Woods declines MJ's offer and Jay-Z almost sold his share of the Nets

I never blame Jay for what he did during the 09-10 season.
The Nets had the worst record. the team you purchase and promise to Brooklyn hasn't even broke ground on the arena and still has several lawsuits against them.
Now you hear some guy from Russia who brags about buying a yacht and forgetting where it's at is talking about buying the majority of your team.
He didn't know what was going to happen. Hell Jay was at more Knick games than the Nets at that time.
No one (not even me) predicted Proky would do all of this in 2 years. No one predicted he would payoff the people suing and holding out and rush the arena.
One more thing from the article I didn't know. Proky only owns 40 percent of the arena but that could change
In the end he could own 80 percent of the arena and the team.
Fred Wilpon (born November 22, 1936[1] Bensonhurst, Brooklyn) is a real estate developer, baseball executive and the majority owner of the New York Mets.
Wilpon bought a one-percent stake in the Mets in 1980, when Charles Shipman Payson sold the team, with Doubleday & Co. holding the remaining interest. In 1986, Doubleday president Nelson Doubleday, Jr. sold off his company, and he and Wilpon each bought a 50 percent stake in the Mets to become full partners. In 2002, the Wilpon Family purchased the remaining 50% of the Mets from Doubleday for $135 million.
Wilpon served as president of the team between 1980 to 2002, as Chief Executive Officer since 1980 and as Chairman of the Board since 2003. Wilpon currently serves as Chairman of Sterling Equities. His son, Jeff, is the COO of the Mets and executive vice president of Sterling.
It would be interesting to watch if Jay accomplishes the same thing in 20-25 years.
Minus the ponzi schemes, of course.
i totally get it killa... patience, luck and sense makes success.
he had the sense to try and invest in the team
he had enough patience to let the luck go into his favor.
i'm working on my patience right now i'm ok but not good enough at it. stories like this inspire imo.
jay-z waited it out, its what he wanted and he got it.
tiger didn't want to rush into anything just because he could. he has a friend in the bobcats but that's not what he truly wanted so he's waiting it out till he can buy into a team he actually cares about.

As for MJ and Tiger. I think MJ is going to have to wait a while before he finds anyone willing to invest in the bobcats.
Now if they are moving to a different city. Maybe

@ that art. That looks nothing like jay z. Looks like a fat southern pastor.
true I will be honest. I didn't know what to make of this. I thought Jay was going to leave or sell his share.
The Nets would become the Seattle Supersonics.
I wonder would Tiger be interested in The Magic. I know he is a fan and Devos has hinted he could be interested in selling.
then it would affect the nets if they're banking on him to bring in the crowd.
He might be interested in them I'm sure. Dodgers already have magic
Nobody is getting in on the raiders
So magic might be his best option to get into sports ownership
unless he does something that changes the golf game forever
which is develop a golf brand-team.
Exactly. Mikhail isn't Mark Cuban or Jerry Jones.
When you think of the cowboys and Mavericks franchises you think of their owner.
Mikhail doesn't live in the USA. He needed someone here.
While Jay was on tour he was pushing the brand
That being said Jigga and Brett both are responsible for the Nets following the Heat with merchandise sold.
Remember all the Nets had was Jay-Z. This was before Deron Williams. Dwight demanding trades to Brooklyn and so on.
After that ordeal his,money probably isn't that liquid as it once was.
On a side note,MJ needs to offer share's to actual players of the sport,the ones that can afford to invest money into a team,espacially blacks player.Have like a fraternity of players making business like decision's for the team...now it's just an idea Im not saying it will work but who knows the game of basketball better than an NBA player who's played on the lowest and highest level's of the sport.
Shit,Nelly owns a share so Im sure some dudes should be able to buy into it some sorta way,just keep players like Metta-World-peace out.
Would you invest into a team that the guy who drafted Adam Morrison and Kwame Brown is running?
Jay-Z and Mikhail will be doing other business ventures beside the Nets.
Proky is looking at other sport teams to purchase. A football franchise and a baseball
