That Mikhail Prokhorov seems to have a few moral problems; when he come not far from where I live (Courchevel). He has a lot of money to waste; mostly to "frime" in France and in America; when at the same time RT in some recent topics worried about sports in Russia and the need to hire foreign coaches to improve your country capabilities. A decent Russian billionaire who has certainly stoled his countrymen to be so rich could prove his renewed sincerity toward his own country differently, since in sports, she is not what she used to be. He will procure big wages for the best basketball players from Russia to come play for the Nets. Consequently, what good does that man do for his country ! He is just an other "phony" capitalist to ignore...One can be rich and useful; apparently this is not the case... Sincerely...Jean-Claude Meslin
