Lonzo Ball And Brothers Sign With Jay-Z
Lonzo Ball and his brothers signed with Jay-Z and his Roc Nation Sports team for representation this week.
The decision came as somewhat of a surprise to onlookers.
LaMelo’s agent Jermaine Jackson offered some insight on the move this week.
“This was a family decision,” Jackson told ESPN’s Jonathan Givony.
“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.
“We talked to several agents, but the family had good vibes with Roc Nation. 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.”
It will be interesting to see what ramifications this move has on LaMelo’s NBA Draft stock.
