Music Moguls Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine Visit Golden State Warriors Practice

Music moguls Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine visited Warriors practice on Tuesday to offer their perspective on business and the music industry.

The team's director of player personnel, Jonnie West, invited Andre "Dr. Dre" Young, a six-time Grammy Award winner and the CEO of Beats Electronics, and his longtime partner Iovine as part of a mandated meeting to review nuances of the NBA salary cap and luxury tax, according to USA Today. The salary cap presentation is required by the National Basketball Players Association.

After watching HBO's 2017 docuseries The Defiant Ones over the summer and hearing of its popularity among other Warriors team members, West invited the co-founders of Beats to create a more compelling dialogue.
