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 […]

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 […]

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.
