Prokhorov Pays Homage to Jay-Z on Russian TV Show

Okay, you're a Nets fan. Your team is hurting, psychically and physically. Your Knick buddies all have their Jeremy Lin jerseys and all you have is one tattered soul. So in the spirit of trying to get everyone back up, we offer this: Mikhail Prokhorov's homage to his fellow Nets owner, Jay-Z. It took place Friday night on "Spotlight Paris Hilton", a Russian comedy show. Somehow, we can't see Newt Gingrich doing this.

He can do a talk show and he cant go to one Nets game? whats up with that?

It’s part of his politcal campaign. Don’t talk about things you don’t know. Going to the Nets game takes at least 2 days. A show can take less than an hour.

talk show wasnt thousands of miles away

and it pertains to his primary goal at this time which is campaigning for the elections.

How foolish would Mitt Romney look if he just took a random vacation to somewhere in the prime time of his campaigning.

Prokhorov has to show right now that russia is his primary focus, and he cant let his opponents write stories of how he’s always going to be in america watching his sports team.

Also, prokhorov in his time of campaigning is trying to distance himself from his inner business for the time being.

It’s crazy, but thats politics for you. It is what it is.

And by the way comparing the future of world power to one of a sport franchise is just atrocious.

by valdu08 on Feb 11, 2012 4:55 PM EST up reply actions

that's a bit of a far-fetched conclusion.

Not sure thats what he/she meant exactly.

by YOUNG NET on Feb 11, 2012 4:56 PM EST up reply actions

if you reproach a guy to spend too much time campaining for elections in his country jsut because you are the fan of a sport franchise he owns, that’s, in my opinion, an atrocious statement.

Dwight or bust....
Superbowl or bust...

Music

Just one more thing that Prokhorov does better than Jim Dolan.

I saw longer clips on Youtube, it would have been funny if they used the zip code for Barclays 11217. (((

"Give us cash! I steal from the rich and give to the poor! I'm trying to be a myth; give us cash!" "No, I'm not gonna give you cash." "Go on, I steal from the rich. Are you rich?" "No, I'm … comfortable." "That's no good, I can't steal from the fairly well off and give to the moderately impoverished! That's not gonna swing, is it?"
