Carnival of the NBA #49

MVN has now had two of its sites consecutively host the Carnival, this time with it being posted to you by the blog, Passion and Pride. The title of Carnival #49 is: Bloggers Banquet. Jon sure does serve up a feast [Carnival of the NBA #49].

I Want to be a Sports Agent made it into the carnival with our recent post on LeBron James and his role in a new marketing company called LRMR Innovative Marketing and Branding [The King And His Court]. Last Carnival, our post was featured at the top. This time, it seems like they saved the best for last…placing us near the bottom. No hatred, though.

Let me now take this time to fill up some space by suggesting that if you are an agent, you should check out our Agencies page and our Internships page. If your agency is not listed at all on the Agencies page, shoot me an e-mail with the URL to your site and your office locations. If your agency provides internships and you are not listed on the Internships page, also feel free to send me a message with the information that should be posted.
