Jay-Z is working to sell his minority stake in the Brooklyn Nets after launching a sports representation agency. In order to represent NBA players, he can’t own any part of a team.According to a recent report, Jay-Z still hadn’t completed that, which means he can’t technically represent an NBA player. Which might be why Roc Nation Sports said “no comment” when asked about Durant.
“We are honored and blessed to have worked on behalf of Kevin for a brief period of time,”Pelinka told Sports Business Journal.
