an investment team behind him that has the highest bid of $267 million dollars,

it appears that Jigga may pull it off.

If you are a gambler,

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."
