Restricted free agent Mohamed Diawara intends to sign a multiyear, $10-plus million deal to return to the New York Knicks, sources tell ESPN. Diawara -- the No. 51 pick in last year's NBA draft -- was part of the champion Knicks after spending the season on a standard contract.
Next up, letter I: “Intro - A Million and One Questions / Rhyme No More” #JayZ30#JayZ
DJ Premier: “That one was totally his [Jay-Z’s] idea. He called me and said, ‘I want to do this intro to the album [In My Lifetime, Vol. 1].’ Even when we were doing ‘Reasonable Doubt,’ same thing. He would call me, and he would rap the rhyme on the phone a cappella. So, with this one, same thing. He did the whole ‘A Million and One’ verse for me over the phone with the idea, and he said, ‘I want it to connect some type of way ... and I’m gonna go motherfuckers can’t ... and when I say rhyme, I want the drop.’ He's very calculated on how he wants to do his thing ... he goes in there and cuts it. I’ve never seen him write anything on paper. I’ve been in many sessions with him and never seen him write.”
