Jay-Z to LeBron: Stay pressure free

Music superstar Jay-Z is coming to Brooklyn.

He hopes LeBron James will be with him but there will be no full court press to get him there.

Jay-Z is an owner of the New Jersey Nets and he believes the team will have made a move to Brooklyn by the winter of 2010.

"We're trying to get to Brooklyn, I think in early December (we'll start building the new stadium)... (It'll take) hopefully a year (to complete)."

The 99 Problems hitmaker wants the team's new move to be coupled with a new name - the Brooklyn Nets - and he wants to add his pal LeBron James to the line-up when the basketball ace's contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers is up.

But Jay-Z insists he will not pressure James into switching teams: "We'll have a great team surrounding him so hopefully he'll come to Brooklyn.

"He's my friend first so I wouldn't do that to him if we didn't have a chance of winning (the NBA championship) because he's going to be great. I want him to be great. Whatever team lands him, I want him to be great."
