The Truth Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 The NBA will investigate Jay-Z’s visit with the Kentucky basketball team after Sunday’s 76-69 win against North Carolina in the NCAA Tournament East Regional Final, reports CBSSports.com’s Ken Berger. Jay-Z, rapper and part-owner of the New Jersey Nets, might have violated NBA rules because Kentucky has multiple potential first-round draft picks on its roster. Berger equates the incident to Celtics GM Danny Ainge sitting with Kevin Durant's mother during the 2007 Big 12 tournament. Ainge and the Celtics were fined $30,000 for the infraction.http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/212693/Report_NBA_Will_Investigate_Jay_Zs_Postgame_Celebration_With_Kentucky#ixzz1I6xisRM1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3pointgod Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 It would be different if this game were in LA and he ended up in the locker room... He's a part owner but that's his stadium. North Carolina has a number of first round prospects as well, but he wasn't in their locker room after the game. I just viewed it as him congratulating them for a big win on his court.

Universe Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 The entire Kentucky team was practising at the Nets practise facility the other day because they couldn't find an open gym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guru Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 The New Jersey Nets have been fined $50,000 for Nets minority owner Jay-Z's presence in the Kentucky locker room after the Wildcats clinched a Final Four berth. http://sports.espn.go.com/new-york/nba/news/story?id=6309641 The first comment on the article was pretty interesting:I wonder if they would fine the Nets if those kids were at a concert and took pictures with him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Stupid considering he's a friend of Coach Calipari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Bomba Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Calipari will continue to do his sketchy work behind the scenes and NCAA will continue to look the other way. I don't know why this is even news because the NCAA won't do shit to punish their cover boy, Calipari, and the Mecca of college basketball, Kentucky.
