We're willing to bet Jay-Z will still be able to get into any Nets game for free forever, but he'll soon no longer be able to call himself a part owner! That's right, he's selling his shares to both the Nets AND the Barclays Center!

Why is he doing this?

This is weird!

Yeah, we understand that Jay-Z is pretty sports centric, what with being a part owner of the Nets and all. We just didn't expect his Roc Nation, an entertainment company, to start taking on sports stars as clients through a partnership with Creative Artists Agency!

Robinson Cano is in the final season of a $57 million contract, and will be the first to sign with them! Right now, he's the second baseman for the Yankees!

Here's what he said in a statement:

We previously mentioned that Ian McKellen has prostate cancer!

We even had quotes of him saying he's had it for a while now, six or seven years!

That is all apparently false.

Well, mostly false at least.

McKellen's agent spoke out on the story that was circulating the internet, and said:

Both Tim Tebow and Mark Sanchez are quarterbacks for the Jets!

As Linsanity continues to grow, so does the interest from thousands of companies looking for a global spokesperson.

Since becoming a starting point guard for the New York Knicks, Jeremy Lin has become the most popular Asian-American athlete on the planet and his agent has more offers than he can count from companies looking to sign Lin to a lucrative endorsement deal.

Despite all the offers, the NBA star is playing it cool, as a source explained:

“Jeremy doesn’t want to jump into anything. He wants to sit back and wait and see what suits him. He’s not looking for the quick money. The deals have to be right.”

Instead of jumping on a deal worth millions, he's focusing on getting the right team together that is capable of guiding his career throughout all of this Linsanity, as another source commented:

"There’s been so much interest, and so many people reaching out, it is overwhelming. They’re working to build a team to handle all this, and hiring marketing and p.r. executives. He has met with IMG.”

Although there are endless opportunities for the young player, he's looking to represent brands that fit his clean image, but don't expect to see him on billboards too soon.

“These kinds of deals can take a year,” said one source. “They take forever to negotiate.”

What brand would U like to see Jeremy Lin rep?
