Rapper/entrepreneur Jay-Z was recently interviewed by Stephen A. Smith. Over the course of the interview, Jay-Z spoke about LeBron’s series against the Boston Celtics, his relationship with new Nets owner Mikhail Prokhorov, and his plans to take a more hands-on approach next season as a part owner of the Nets. Here’s an excerpt from the interview:
“Well, uh, yeah, I sat down and [Prokhorov and I] had a fantastic conversation. There were things that I wanted to really make clear. I wanted to be an active owner. This is something that I really care about, and it’s not just a name cache for me and at it certainly isn’t at this specific moment making me any money. It’s really just a thing I love. And you know me, I love sports so everybody was happy with what I was saying. It looks like I’ll be taking a more active role in what’s going on and it should be fun.”
