World Basketball Festival Brings The Roc

Yes you heard correctly, it was announced today that Thursday's World Basketball Festival Opening Ceremony at Radio City Music Hall in New York City will be headlined by none other than Jay-Z.

For those of you who hide in caves, let me back up a bit. We admit we've neglected our obligation to keep you informed of the mania that is New York this week. We often assume that everyone lives in a tiny Brooklyn apartment and reads twenty basketball blogs a day.

So to all normal people, this weekend New York City will host the World Basketball Festival.
