Via SLAM from the Nets' press release:
NETS INVESTOR SHAWN "JAY-Z" CARTER
TO REPRESENT THE NETS AT NBA DRAFT LOTTERY TOMORROWEAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – Nets investor and music executive Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter will represent the Nets at the NBA Draft Lottery tomorrow, Tuesday, May 20, at the studios of NBA Entertainment in Secaucus, NJ. The Draft Lottery will be televised live on ESPN from 8 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. before Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Boston Celtics and Detroit Pistons.
Carter will be one of 14 team representatives to be seated on the stage when NBA Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver announces the winning order of teams participating in the Draft Lottery. The NBA Draft will be held on June 26.
"This is very exciting and I hope my nickname ‘Lucky Lefty’ holds up," said Carter.
In the Draft Lottery for the first time since 2001, the Nets have a 1.1 percent chance of receiving the first pick of the Draft, and less than a 4 percent chance of securing one of the top 3 selections. Based on their 2007-08 season record, the Nets would likely have the 10th pick of the Draft if they don’t secure a top 3 selection.
Ridiculous Upside would just like to welcome Mr. HOVA (Mr. VA?) to the lottery party.
This is pretty much the most awesome thing ever. We're convinced the Nets are winning the lottery now.

I don’t understand why you didn’t have a big post when the Bucks announced John Hammond was going to be our rep. He’ll have more bling on tomorrow than Mr. Carter, this I know.

99 problems but their pick ain’t one.

Miami better watch out for Jigga befriending Wade tomorrow
He could be the NBA’s most influential power broker because every NBA player would love to play for the Rocafella Nets.
