If someone had asked you which superstar rapper turned up at a local basketball court on Sunday -- Jay-Z or Kanye West -- you'd probably guess Jay, right?
Along with being part owner of the Nets, he seems like more the baller.
Actually, it was Kanye, who spent Sunday afternoon at the Sacred Heart gym in Shadyside, where the girls' seventh grade basketball team was practicing.
According to a parent, Kanye and his entourage showed up there and asked if they could use half of the gym. A deal was cut in exchange for a photo with the team and tickets to the show Sunday night at Consol. Kanye's crew passed out 25 tickets, and the rapper was friendly with the team, giving them hugs and high fives.
As for Jay-Z, he didn't arrive in Pittsburgh until almost showtime and made a beeline to the Consol, where the rappers hit the stage around 9:20. After the show, Jay-Z headed to a packed Savoy nightclub in the Strip, where he hung out till closing time and signed an autograph or two on the way out.Â
