Jay Z Singled Out For Making Roc Nation Star Kevin Durant Quit Team USA

Rap mogul Jay Z is reportedly responsible for NBA superstar Kevin Durant pulling out of Team USA’s summer basketball competition in hopes of securing a substantial contract offer.

 
According to reports, Young Hov is concerned with looking out for his Roc Nation client’s interest.

Team USA is only the latest entity to be left with a sour taste after dealing with Durant and his latest agent. The folks at Nike aren’t exactly happy. The folks at Gatorade already were unhappy. “It’s like Jay-Z is determined to do a scorched earth negotiation with everyone Kevin Durant is currently aligned with, and they aren’t doing him any favors,” one source close to Durant told SheridanHoops on Friday as Team USA prepared for its first exhibition game in preparation for the 2014 World Cup.

Some reports claim a $30 million contract offer and KD needing time away from serious competition are the top reasons for his withdrawal.

The comments looked at through a Durant lense would lend itself to talks that KD is being courted by Under Armour for more than $30 million per season. But the Durant withdrawal statement from Aug. 7 cites Durant needing “to take a step back and take some time away, both mentally and physically in order to prepare for the upcoming NBA season.” (News OK)
