JAY-Z AND DEREK JETER WILL NOT TAKE PART IN THE LEBRON FREE AGENCY SUMMER!
The New York Knicks might want the Yankees to help recruiting LeBron James, but Derek Jeter doesn't see the point.
"It wouldn't make sense," the Yankees captain told ESPNNewYork.com.
Knicks president Donnie Walsh wants as many New Yorkers as possible to help convince James to choose Madison Square Garden when NBA free agency opens July 1. James is a Yankees fan, and has a special pair of Yankee-styled Nikes.
"If there's Yankees that want to help us, we would involve them," Walsh told the New York Post on Sunday.
James' good friend Jay-Z echoed Jeter's sentiment on recruitment.
"That's his decision," the hip-hop mogul and part owner of the New Jersey Nets said in a Rolling Stone interview.
"We're friends -- we've still gotta hang out! I don't want to convince somebody to do something, then have to see him and say, 'Uh, yeah, we're 4-30 ... sorry.'"
CC Sabathia is also friends with James, but admitted he didn't know what he'd say to persuade James to pick New York.
"You don't have to sell winning in New York," Jeter said.
When it was pointed out to Jeter that since he has won in New York, James could find out about how special it is, Jeter still didn't budge.
Jeter hypothetically compared it to if he were going to be recruited by one of the Los Angeles teams and Magic Johnson called him.
"If I were going to another baseball team, how would a basketball player help?" Jeter said. "I don't play basketball. I have nothing to do with that."
Unaware of Walsh's comments at the time he spoke about James, Jeter said he doubted the Knicks would ask him.
"I don't see how it would work," he said. "It is completely different."
Jeter, who was a standout basketball player in high school, knows James a little.
"He's a nice guy," Jeter said. "He's a big Yankee fan so I've gotten to meet him. I probably think of him as a player like everyone thinks of him as a player -- he can do anything."

REALITY TV STAR TILA TEQUILA POST SUICIDE VIDEO ON HER WEBSITE!
Tila Tequila's downward spiral has hit a new low. The deeply troubled former reality star posted a video on her website of her bloody arm that supposedly had been sliced at the wrist.
Tila blamed her "multiple personalities" for the incident; specifically it was "Jane" who tried to do her in Friday night.
Tila wrote:
"I don't know what happened. People don't believe I have multiple personalities but this morning the last thing I remember was falling asleep cuz I was so tired. I blacked out and now that I just woke up from excruciating pains all over my body, there was blood and dope everywhere! She is evil! She single handedly smashed and broke EVERYTHING in my bedroom! Both nightstands, the bed lights, all of the surround sound system, my tv boxes and there's glass everywhere. There's even chunks of meet coming out of my arm from the deep slits from her slicing up my arm from all the broken glass! My arm meet from inside is starting to bubble up and seep through the cuts. This is so f***ed up. Now that I'm awake, she just left but I have no recollection of what happened to me. I'm just crying right now hiding in my toilet...my entire room is in shambles. All the new furniture is broken and glass all over the bed. I don't know what's happening! Little Tila."
Tila's latest drama was viewed as a stunt by many.
She was scheduled to be part of Celebrity Rehab 4 but production on Dr. Drew Pinsky's VH1 show has been put on hold until July, and Tila's participation is now unclear.
