New York City

Who runs the city is my question....Last night the high rollers were sitting front row to watch King James in Madison Square Garden. Madison Square Garden is the most historic arena known to man. Sitting in the world's most popular city, Madison Square Garden has stood to witness all the greatest come and perform. Oscar Robertson, Michael Jordan, Dr. J, Kobe Bryant, Lebron James and many more have come to entertain the toughest place to play in the world. Last night, Spike Lee, Jay-Z and Diddy just to name a few were in attendance to watch Lebron go off and score 52 points drop 11 assists and take down 10 rebounds against the New York Knicks. Before walking into the locker, Jay-Z walks across the court to join King James in a secret handshake. Clearly we know who runs things. From sitting in his fifty thousand dollar seat at inaugaration with my wife to sitting courtside last night clearly declares Jigga that Ni**a.
