Golden State Warriors fans owe a bit of a debt to Jay Z.
As Warriors' forward Kevin Durant told podcast host and sports writer Bill Simmons recently, the rapper helped give him "practical" advice that eventually informed his decision to sign with the Bay Area team when he decided to leave the Oklahoma City Thunder.
During an 80-minute podcast appearance, with a guest spot by Durant's agent Rich Kleiman, the Warrior and Kleiman tell Simmons that when Durant was preparing to make the big decision as to where he'd play next, they turned to Jay Z — the "king of practicality" — for some sage advice.
