It’s an all too familiar situation that an Agent will encounter: The Journeyman. Paul Shirley is not a household name, yet he has played for multiple NBA teams…albeit, if it’s in “junk time” as he calls it. The 6’10” Kansas native gives readers an insight into what it’s like to be the fringe player plying […]
Happy July 4th. The rain is starting (how surprising..) just in time to ruin any kind of fireworks display in South Florida. Every year, on this date, I think about all of the things I am thankful for: my family, my health, and my friends, to name a few. I am additionally thankful for all […]
Royce Parran just finished up his first professional basketball season with the IBL Gary Steelheads. He is a 5’9 stud who blew up the league, earning MVP honors in its All-Star game. He is currently trying to make an NBA roster and has his material being looked at by a handful of organizations. Royce was […]
Last Thursday night we saw 10 college freshmen get drafted in the 2008 NBA Draft. Those 10 freshmen dazzled college basketball from opening night, to the NCAA Championship game. But after seeing those 10 kids get drafted, it really makes you second guess this rule that states players must be one year removed from high […]

If David Stern and the rest of the NBA Executives did not have a good enough reason to scrap the league’s one-year-out-of-high school requirement thus far, which I would heavily debate, the impetus for change is now right in front of our eyes. If the NBA does not budge on its solid stance, then there […]
Three out of the big four American professional sports have gone through the process of selecting a new class of rookies for the start of their respective next seasons. The only sport left is basketball, which will conduct its yearly draft on Thursday, June 26th. The television coverage should be a little more exciting than […]
Trying a slightly new format here for a change. Do you like it organized by category below? Anyway, a ton going on in this very busy summer. As I am sure you are aware, Dynasty acquired an agency that represents coaches. We have additionally begun our recruiting efforts in football and basketball. Dan Leatherman continues […]
There are very few books written by sports agents and even fewer that devote a substantial amount of pages to discussing the profession of representing athletes. NBPA agent, Keith Glass, takes a shot at covering that topic and other NBA related material in his book, Taking Shots. It is not surprising to hear someone critical […]
