Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (4/1/2011)

I am going on a year long trip around the world and will not be posting any updates to this site until 4/1/2012.  April Fools?  It feels good to have baseball again.  It is too bad that the headlines will continue to revolve around the NFL/NFLPA labor dispute.  I picked one Final Four team correctly […]

Now that the deadline has passed for early entries who were testing the waters to either remain in the draft or go back to school, I like to go through the early entry list and look for agent names that surprise me near the top of the list.  I already wrote a post about my […]

Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up (4/30/2010)

Woohoo!  As of 3:43 p.m. yesterday, I was officially done with law school.  Technically, I am not a law school graduate until May 14, but as long as I don’t have to step foot into the Levin College of Law’s library for the next couple of weeks, I’ll take it!  The next two weeks will […]

Jonathan Givony of DraftExpress.com recently sat down with basketball agent, David Falk, following Givony’s review of David’s new book, The Bald Truth.  Givony first probed Falk to answer questions regarding his book: what motivated Falk to write The Bald Truth, whether he took peoples sensitivities into consideration when writing it, feedback since publishing, etc.  He […]

Does Michael Whitaker Have George Hill 2.0?

Michael Whitaker is a basketball agent at Reid Entertainment.  Whitaker is not a common name in the industry like an Arn Tellem, Leon Rose, or Bill Duffy, and Reid Entertainment is not a name that floats around with WMG, CAA, or BDA, but Whitaker and Reid Entertainment have been making large strides in establishing a […]

Early Entries Starting To Select Agents

Some of the best graduating seniors in the NCAA are currently participating in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament.  Those that are younger and as, if not more, talented are starting to decide whether they will forego their NCAA eligibility by signing an agent and entering the draft, test the NBA draft waters without an agent (retaining […]

Take Your Pick: HoopsHype Or DraftExpress

Since I can first remember searching for basketball agent information, HoopsHype has always been my primary destination. For a long time, the site has held a monopoly in terms of aggregating basketball agent information in a fairly easy to read format. Monopolies are meant to be broken, though. DraftExpress has just released its Agent/Salary Tool […]
