So we all know we're in the midst of an NBA lockout. *moment of silence* Well, during this time teams aren't allowed to contact their players…at all. As a matter of fact, Mark Cuban was granted "special permission" to sit with the players of the Dallas Mavericks during the ESPYs. Yup, no contact. Oh, no licenses either. That means: likenesses to try and sell tickets to their fans for games that probably won't be played. LOL! It's really not funny.
For most NBA teams, this presents an issue. But for a team like the New Jersey Nets, it's actually turned out to be a good…no a GREAT thing. All across Brooklyn, the future home of the Nets, the organization has replaced billboards and signs that used to feature All-Star point guard, Deron Williams, with minority owner and Hip-Hop mogul Jay-Z. I'm trying my best to avoid all shots to at D-Will, but…I mean, it's Jay-Z. I'm sure that makes fans and locals WAY…like WAY...more excited about going to see the Nets at the Barclays Center in BK in 2012 than a profile of a player who probably won't even play for the team anymore. Just sayin...
SCREAM @ ME!!!
