Something about this doesn't look right?

With the news that the New Jersey Nets are close to having an owner worth 9 billion dollars, the rumors of LeBron to Brooklyn are back. Mikhail Prokhorov, of Russia, is putting up $700 million to become the majority owner of the Nets and to help fund their move to Brooklyn. What does any of this have to do with LeBron James you ask?

As we’ve all heard LeBron’s lifetime goal is to become a billionaire businessman. Now the Nets not only have Jay-Z, who is a pretty decent business mind in his own right, but they’ve added Russia’s richest man. Not only is Prokhorov rich, he’s expanding his business to a new country which is something LeBron is already attempting to do (See the LeBron World Tour).

Prokhorov spent tons of money on his European team and has championships to show for his spending. He will be an involved owner, but not in the way Mark Cuban runs the Mavs. Prokhorov likes to hang out with the players socially. Now ask yourself would LeBron entertain thoughts of flying all over the world with close friend Jay-Z and one of the richest men in the world? Maybe if he can postpone shooting his next movie….
