Fresh from his defeat in this year's Russian Presidential election, billionaire oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov may be thinking about a new political challenge — becoming Mayor of Moscow.

Russian daily Kommersant cites sources who say that the owner of the New Jersey Nets has already made a decision to run to be head of the Russian capital, and may call a press conference Monday to announce his plans.

The Kremlin would reportedly support the campaign (you may remember the 6 foot 8 was criticized by some for being a Kremlin-stooge during the presidential campaign).

Prokhorov's camp has denied the claims, and says he has no plan to run, Ria Novosti reports. He had previously said that he would start a new political party after his defeat, but right now that appears to have amounted to zilch.
