LEBRON JAMES WILL BE A BROOKLYN NET...BSO EXCLUSIVE

Sorry Cleveland fans (and Knicks fans for that matter) it is a done deal Lebron James will be a Brooklyn Net very soon. The verbal agreement is already in place between him and Jay Z. It's a rap (you love my play on words don't you) I have it on good authority from a person in the Jay Z camp that this has been in the works for awhile and Cleveland's inability to surround Lebron with the proper talent sealed the deal.

Speaking to me on the condition of anonymity this is what the source had to say about the situation:

"Jay wants to make a big splash when the Nets come to Brooklyn. At every opportunity he is in Lebron's ear telling him he can be bigger than Michael Jordan, but he can't do that in Cleveland. He is telling him that if he comes to Brooklyn he will be seen as a savior because Brooklyn is still hurting of the Dodgers and that was damn near 60 years ago."

He went on to say:

"Lebron doesn't just want to be a basketball player he wants to be a global icon. He looks up to Jay because Jay went from being a rapper to one of the most powerful and influential men in the world. Lebron wants to be remembered like that and he thinks Jay can help him. That is why he is dropping hints about coming to Brooklyn. He loves Cleveland but they have dropped the ball. Trust me this is a done deal he will be in a Nets uniform."

I don't blame Lebron because beyond Neo Bryant he is the most talented player in the league and unlike Kobe he is only 23. He hasn't even touch the surface of his potential. Cleveland has had every opportunity to make the team better but right now it is Lebron and the Pips. If history has showed us anything it is that one man can't win a championship so a change of scenery maybe in order.
