i don't even like the camel that much but it's not a big deal really.

they used his image for the move to Brooklyn thing and he probably made some money from his investment plus he got to brag about it which made his stans lust over him that much more (in other words increasing the value of his brand). so it's probably a win win for everyone involved.

this

:beli:

although shyt is kinda :pachaha:

the average man has no idea about the logistics behind the ownership.

Jay-Z is the face of the team. He is the face of the move to brooklyn. The average person thinks its his team.

In Brooklyn, right across the street from Barclays Center there is a massive billboard with Jay-Z's face on it. He is also having like a week full of concerts as the opening celebration when the stadium opens.

Im not even a Jay stan but its a brilliant marketing plan for his brand. He hasnt really invested anything (less $$ risk) yet is still getting massive publicity/marketing/exposure by having his name plastered all over an NBA Team, being associated with a billionaire, and being the face of arguably the largest construction project in the city of New York. :ohlawd:

I personally am outraged to find out that a rapper is over exaggerating about money or business ventures. This is a first in hip hop :dry:

Stop making so much sense.

"B-b-but, he gets a luxury suite and a week of concerts." :heh:
I mean, yeah, Jay is getting his, but the real owners are getting waaaaay more out of this than him.

I kinda feel like Jay couldn't drop him even if he wanted too :pachaha:

:troll:

There's no kinda about it. Camel makes no decisions for the franchise. The real owners gave him courtside seats, told his big lip ass to sit there with his pretty wife and let him know we'll call you when we need you. Hell, he couldn't even get his boy Lebron to sign with the team.
