Barclays Center

In this Nov. 26, 2012, file photo, rap mogul and Brooklyn Nets minority owner Jay-Z and his wife, Beyonce, watch an NBA basketball game between the Nets and the New York Knicks at Barclays Center in New York. Jay -Z is selling his stake in the Nets so he can become certified as a player agent, possibly before the end of the season. The process is underway, with paperwork already filed, a person with knowledge of the details said Wednesday, April 10, 2013. NBA rules prevent anyone from being involved in ownership and player representation. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens, File)
