The New Nets Owner Is A Little Bit Money

Mikhail Prokhorov, the man who recently bought the New Jersey Nets, not only has a lot of money but he also is a little bit money. Not only is he 6'8" but he is sort of the man. In January 2007 he flew 8 Russian models to a French ski resort to party and the French thought he was trying to smuggle prostitutes into the country. His business partner suggested he sell his share of his company before the negative publicity hit and he did just that, to the tune of 10 billion doll-hairs. Two months later "the international crisis devastated the Russian stock markets". Never has bringing 8 models on a ski trip been so profitable. When asked if he can turn the Nets from the worst team in the league to the best he replied "In the Frank Sinatra song "New York, New York" 'if I can make it there, I can make it anywhere'". Do you think he knows Jay-Z is part owner of his new team and tried to get some brownie points by dropping a line that Jay quotes in his Empire State of Mind song? Steve Kroft asked him about all the women he hangs out with and why he hasn't married one and Prokhorov said he hasn't found a woman who can cook well enough to marry. What a badass.
