Isn't ROC nation in deep with Brooklyn?
Jay-z is from Brooklyn. That's about it. They're clientele is pretty spread out - Kevin Durant, Rudy Gay, Danny Green, Jeremy Lin, Justise Winslow, Caris Lavert.
Looks like KD isn't with Roc Nation anymore.
Where are you seeing this info at?
Everywhere I look online says he’s still with Roc Nation.
FWIW:

To clarify something I keep hearing about with sky moving to the Roc: Kevin Durant is no longer actively repped by Roc Nation. Rich Kleiman was originally at Roc and then left to rep KD independently through 35 Ventures over a year or so ago.

Ky* not sky oh well
Thanks, TP.
I think that helps make this move seem less like a signal that he is signing with the Nets (given that the connection there is very overblown) and more about how it sets him up for opportunities in the entertainment industry.
Then again, that’s not necessarily a good sign for our hopes of signing him.
That’s one thing about KD that I do admire - it’s always been about winning to him. Now the means to get to that winning stage I think he was wrong to pursue (i.e. a cowardly shortcut for a guy of his skill level), but he’s not really been about the other parts of being a celebrity and fame in his free agency decision-making.
