NBA Life: Bets and Brawls Source:
When the Charlotte Bobcats came to New Jersey to play the Nets Dec. 14, owners Robert Johnson (majority owner, Bobcats) and Jay-Z (Nets co-owner) had a little wager on the game. The bet was on which team would reach 80 points first that night, with the loser donating $5,000 to five different schools in the area, totaling a $25,000 donation.
Once again, Jay lost.
The Bobcats reached 80 points first, but instead of having Nas battle flashbacks with Johnson, Jiggaman immediately sought out students to see where the money should go. The New Jersey Nets Web site carried a request earlier this week for students to write a 500 word essay explaining why their school deserves the $5,000 check. The contest ended earWednesday night and as much as kids love writing, school, and most of all, writing about their school, the entries are sure to have poured in. Expect to see Jay to give up the loot sometime in the next few days.
Upon further review, they probably should've bet on how many times Bobcats rookie Sean May flagged down the hot dog guy.
