    This has to certainly almost guarantee he's going to NY, Brooklyn, or LA, right?

    Jay Z started Roc Nation Sports, Jay Z is married to Beyonce, Beyonce is from Houston, Houston is the home to the Rockets, James Harden is on the Rockets, James Harden and Kevin Durant are former teammates. This must mean he wants to come to Houston, it all makes sense now.

    OKC State of mind:

    Yeah Ima up at Paseo, now I’m down in Deep Deuce
    Right next to Walter Cronkite, but I be hood forever
    I’m the new Mickey Mantle, and since I made it here
    I can make it anywhere, yeah they love me everywhere

    Jay Z corrupting the ballers one at a time.

    "Eight million stories out there, and they're naked
    Cities is a pity, half of y'all won't make it
    Me, I gotta plug, Special Ed "I Got It Made"
    If Jesus payin' LeBron, I'm paying Dwyane Wade" -Jay Z

    Those of us in the know, know Jay's a pretty cheap character. Not who you want around impressionable youngsters like KD.

    Sean Carter is pure corporate America. Leading the flock back into the stocks.

    Pitiful.

    Jay-z came from the projects and is now a successful business who is never in the news for getting arrested. Not sure how that it is negative for Durant or any athlete to be around him.

    i agree he was perhaps a marketing play by prokhorov to lure in free agents(which failed), jay owned a very small percentage of the nets 1.5% or smaller. in return he was allowed to bring the team to his hometown, get a state of the art arena built on his old corner, and cash out..

    99% Problems, Being Rich 1% (hit me!)

    Durant donated to $1 million to Oklahoma tornado victims through his foundation. I don't think he'll become corrupted THAT much after signing with Roc Nation.

    Also you can go the other way too like MC Hammer giving out TOO MUCH generosity "back to people" and YOU'RE BROKE.

    Still yeah Jay Z's a typical business man now. He might be "All About the Benjis" more than even P Diddy was.
