Intertops.com, a Casino and Sportsbook website, is taking bets on whether or
not Jay-Z will actually purchase the team.
"This is an
interesting development between the world of music and sports," said Intertops.com
Chief Bet Manager Michael Maerz. "Jay-Z’s fellow artist P.Diddy is also
looking to buy the Knicks. It will be very interesting to see how the image
of the NBA changes if these purchases happen. It could become really hip and
provide even more entertainment for the fans when celebrities turn up at the
games. Hats off to Jay-Z for being a homeboy who wants to invest in a local
team."
