Jay Z Avoids All NBA Players at GQ Men of the Year Party

Owners and players don't mix T...

Last night GQ hosted the 16th annual “Men of the Year” Party celebrating 2011’s distinguished honorees, including Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, NBA stars Blake Griffin, JaVale McGee, Shannon Brown, Russell Westbrook and Andre Iguodala…Here’s the scoop according to our source at the party, “So all the athletes were clamoring to talk to Jay-Z in his private section, even Melo, but because of the lockout, Jay had to turn them all down. He refused to let any of them thru, and also warned his security to watch out because of his NBA ownership, he wasn’t allowed to fraternize with them,” said our source. So being an NBA owner has its advantages, but during a lockout, unfortunately you’re just not allowed to mingle with the help. -TO
