That's the rumour..but likely untrue. They say Africa's richest man
Aliko Dangote might be a buyer for the Brooklyn Nets Basketball team
which current owner, Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, is planning
to sell.
"Sources on Tuesday confirmed a Bloomberg News report
stating that Prokhorov has retained Evercore Partners to sell the
franchise he acquired majority ownership of in May 2010 for $223
million. A league source said Evercore will gather bids potentially as
soon as the end of the month. Sources likewise confirmed a report from
Bleacher Report that the struggling Russian economy is a factor."
Bloomberg reports
There are now reports from people with 'knowledge' that Dangote may be
interested in buying, either as a fractional owner, or main owner. Time
will tell. It'll definitely boost his international recognition
