Jeter, Jay-Z not recruiting James to N.Y.

NEW YORK -- The New York Knicks might want the Yankees to help recruit LeBron James, but Derek Jeter doesn't see the point.

"It wouldn't make sense," the Yankees captain told ESPNNewYork.com.

Knicks president Donnie Walsh wants as many New Yorkers as possible to help convince James to choose Madison Square Garden when NBA free agency opens July 1. James is a Yankees fan, and has a special pair of Yankee-styled Nikes.


"If there's Yankees that want to help us, we would involve them," Walsh told the New York Post on Sunday.

James' good friend Jay-Z echoed Jeter's sentiment on recruitment.

"That's his decision," the hip-hop mogul and part owner of the New Jersey Nets said in a Rolling Stone interview.

Ok, the coverage of the Lebron sweepstakes has officially jumped the shark!

1. I'm sure glad that I don't give a crap...

about what happens anywhere in the NBA, or else this would probably start to get annoying.

The NBA is probably the most boring professional sports league in American that I can think of. And that includes MLS, MLL, AFL, and yes, even the WNBA.
