I am not a big fan of “Top __” lists. That said, it is sometimes fun to observe others’ subjective rankings of members in a profession. Kevin Baumer of Business Insider recently created his list of The 12 Most Powerful Agents In The NBA. As for his rankings (with top 3 salaried clients listed): Arn […]

On Sunday, Bob Finnan of The News-Herald wrote, There has been a flurry of agents who have been dropped by major clients in the last few weeks. If players don’t get the kind of contract they think they deserve, they fire their agent. That’s the new trend in the NBA. Players are changing agents like […]
The Memphis Grizzlies finally ended up coming to terms with its first-round selections, Xavier Henry and Greivis Vasquez. It is still too early in the season to call their rookie campaigns a success or bust, but we can already call Memphis’ hard-line stance on tying the first round picks’ rookie contract to performance bonuses. The […]
I am not sure how this originally got past my radar, but over the weekend, I read for the first time that Aaron Goodwin plans to file a formal complaint (if he has not already), with the NBA Players Association, against Arn Tellem. The complaint will be based on Al Horford’s switch from Goodwin to […]
No more ragging on the Memphis Grizzlies…for now. Last week the Grizz finally came to terms with first-round selections Xavier Henry and Greivis Vasquez. No training camp missed. No harm, no foul, right? That’s true to an extent. The players shouldn’t suffer. They ended up with the historically agreed upon rookie contract of 120% of […]
On Monday, I almost had a heart-attack. Sure, I am exaggerating a bit, but when the news broke that Florida Bar Exam scores had been posted, I got extremely nervous. Since completing the exam, everyone I had spoken to said that they knew I passed. I still was not convinced. Upon finding out that I had […]
The Memphis Grizzlies kick-off their 2010-11 campaign against the Indiana Pacers on October 6. The date is only a little more than a month away, and the Grizzlies have still yet to lock up their most recent #1 overall pick, Xavier Henry. They also have failed to sign their second 1st round pick, Greivis Vasquez. […]
It’s about time we give a big old SHALOM to Amar’e Stoudemire. The man is enjoying his time in Israel and really embracing the culture, after finding out that his mother is Jewish. Shabbat at my apartment next time you are down in South Florida. Check out the video at the end of this post […]
We have stressed this point many times on SportsAgentBlog.com – Don’t limit yourself to only pursuing a career in sports agency; there are not many good jobs out there in the profession, and there are a ridiculous number of people willing to do almost anything to break in. That said, don’t lose your dream of […]

A Ranking Of Sports Agents
Here is an interesting nugget that I recently found, which was originally published back in January 2010 – The Top Sports Agents That Aren’t Scott Boras. The title of the article assumes that Scott Boras is the #1 agent including all agents in all sports. Do you agree? What about the actual list? Who is […]
