JAY-Z just acquired three new talents for the Roc Nation Sports roster.
On Monday (April 27), LaMelo Ball’s business partner Jermaine Jackson announced Melo and his brothers Lonzo and LiAngelo Ball will be signing to the home Hov built.
“This was a family decision,” Jackson said in a statement to ESPN. “This is now an extended family. They put together a beautiful game plan with JAY-Z. The basketball game is about to change. They are going to create something totally new.”
Jackson went on to explain he’s had an established relationship with Jay since Jackson was playing on the Knicks years back.
“We talked to several agents, but the family had good vibes with Roc Nation,” he added. “I’ve known JAY-Z since I played for the Knicks, but this is what the kids wanted to do. JAY-Z is a master at what he does. He’s global. It’s power beyond power. This is something that they are building from the ground up together. They are brothers and they love each other and that’s how they roll. It’s all love. They don’t separate from each other.”

In 2017, Jay was one of the first people to say he bought Lonzo’s signature Big Baller Brand sneaker for $495 a pair, so the support has been there. It hasn’t been revealed which company LaMelo will go with for his shoe deal, but Roc Nation will take the reins.
“He’s still wide open,” Jackson said. “He hasn’t signed with anyone. Everyone is kicking in the door. Melo is open to whatever. With this pandemic going on, we don’t know what things are going to look like.”

What is LiAngelo supposed to be? The equipment manager?
lmaaoo forreal. He will probably go pro at a lower level — still don’t see him going to the NBA with his lack of size for a SF, lack of ball handling for a guard and general lack of athleticism. No reason he can’t get paid in Australia, Europe or China though
Gay-Z is dumb for this decision, The Fall of CocNation Sports…. Every one knows that Balls are only good for sucking….. yummy.
You sound like a pussy bleeding bitch!!
You’re right, I am. You want to fuck,cockboy.
Jay-Z is truly a #girldad now cuz with him signing the all 3 Ball brothers he’s got nothing but b*tches now.
Anybody hating on this are just broke bitches that listen to Nas. This is great for basketball. King HOV signed three young talents that will eventually be the greatest players this generation has ever seen. Sure, they haven’t fully lived up to their dad’s hype yet, but they will be soon enough. King HOV wasn’t nationally loved when he first started, now look at him, international mogul/icon and hip hop’s first ever billionaire. The Ball brothers will be in the same light. Good thing they didn’t sign with Ass Appeal Sports, oh wait, it doesn’t exist. Lol. It’s the ROC in here!
U ain’t real…just a d–k rider
What a loser you are haha
So Roc Nat gonna take home 10% of LiAngelo’s next deal with Tajikistan contract?
Jay z is the perfect guy to represent these guys. Jayz is less about music and more about being a salesman, which is precisely what the ball brothers are doing.
This dude used to sell crack man. Crazy world.
