Prokhorov Not Joining New Party

Russian press reports that Prokhorov may join a new political party opposed to Prime Minister Vladimir Putin are wrong, we are told definitively.

The information, carried in Izvestia and elsewhere, is not accurate. Prokhorov did tell a Moscow University audience Tuesday that he could ultimately return to Russian politics, but that for now, he will focus on "the development of projects for Russia". He told students he will return to politics only when "conditions are ripe for change."

Indeed it is good news, and just as I predicted, Proky will wait until another day when conditions are better:

i.e. when Putin is out of power or is eliminated.

Proky is saving his face right now (photo would be hilarious).

I said that Proky losing in politics would be better news for Nets than if his party won. I still believe that.
I’m not so naive afterall,

Speaking of owners...

I was wondering why LeBron hasn’t been that vocal during this lockout, seeing that he is probably the games biggest star in terms of talent and notoriety…Maybe it’s because he’s an owner now ?
