Book Review: Can I Keep My Jersey?

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 […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up

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 […]

Brandon Jennings Is Done Before One?

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 […]

Book Review: Taking Shots

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 […]
