Nets majority owner Mikhail Prokhorov can be a friendly, charming guy, sure, and he's offering (with the help of Jay-Z and, oh, lots of public assistance) free agent LeBron James big bucks, but check his reaction at the draft lottery to see the steel.

Apparently they talked basketball, but there's no sign Prokhorov thanked Obama for some $150 million in federal tax breaks for the Atlantic Yards arena.
