Will Smith buys a part of the Philadelphia 76ers
Will Smith is flossin’ his money like Jay-Z these days. The Philly native and his wife are officially minority shareholders of the 76ers NBA team. Forbes valued the team at $330 million this year — which is 17th in the league. The Smiths join rappers Jay-Z, Nelly and Usher as entertainers-turned-part NBA owners with this investment. I just hope the team uses The Fresh Prince theme song as the tune they walk out to for every game. (NY Daily News)
