Aliko Dangote shows interest in buying a stake in Brooklyn Nets? via @iam_bobokanbai

That's the rumour..but likely untrue. They say Africa's richest man Aliko Dangote might be a buyer for the Brooklyn Nets Basketball team which current owner, Russian billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov, is planning to sell.

"Sources on Tuesday confirmed a Bloomberg News report stating that Prokhorov has retained Evercore Partners to sell the franchise he acquired majority ownership of in May 2010 for $223 million. A league source said Evercore will gather bids potentially as soon as the end of the month. Sources likewise confirmed a report from Bleacher Report that the struggling Russian economy is a factor." Bloomberg reports

There are now reports from people with 'knowledge' that Dangote may be interested in buying, either as a fractional owner, or main owner. Time will tell. It'll definitely boost his international recognition

Pic: Ronaldo to wear diamond-encrusted gold boots in next match via @iam_bobokanbai

For winning his third Ballon d'Or, footwear giant Nike has created their first ever micro-diamond encrusted gold football boots for Cristiano Ronaldo which he will wear in his next match which is today January 15th against Atletico Madrid. It's a gift

The boot, (pictured right) dubbed the Mercurial CR7 Rare Gold, is a gift from Nike to Ronaldo as a tribute 'to his remorseless work ethic'. The company explains:

"The micro-diamonds are remnants from larger stones that are painstakingly perfected by craftsmen. As the diamonds are refined & the details sharpened, tiny pieces are cut away, leaving micro-diamonds behind as evidence of work in progress.

While many see Ronaldo as the best in the world, he sees room for improvement"
