Actor Will Smith has confirmed he is in negotiations to partner with retired basketball legend Julius Irving to buy his home town pro basketball team, the Philadelphia 76ers.
By becoming an NBA owner, the fresh prince will join the likes of Nelly who co-owns the Charlotte Bobcats, and Jay-Z, who co-owns the New Jersey Nets.
Smith confirmed, "We're looking into the purchase of the Sixers."
There's speculation that the deal could be completed by December 31 if the buy-out goes through.
