The Hip-Hop mogul who has an ownership stake in the team will represent the Nets at the NBA Draft Lottery. It will air live 8pm on ESPN on May 20th
In a statement, Hovi said
“This is very exciting and I hope my nickname “Lucky Lefty” holds up.”
According to XXL Magazine, the Nets only have a 1.1 percent chance of landing the top pick in the draft held June 26.
