Jay-Z, James relationship should worry Cavs

Yet another article on the negative stigma that comes from the NBA and hip hop realm relationship. As my research appears to be dictating, I think I’m going to be focusing on this bond a little more than originally intended. It is certainly the strongest relationship between the two worlds, and is worth exploring. This article is more recent, and talks about the friendship evolving between Jay-Z and LeBron James. Not only are they worried about lifestyle, but the article considers the fact that Jay-Z owns another NBA franchise, the New Jersey Nets. Could their friendship lead LeBron to leave his current team behind? As LeBron is the biggest star in the league right now, it will be important to at least mention this in my paper. If the face of the league does something bad and hip hop gets knocked, it could be interesting.
