This Friday will make or break my bracket. Going into the NCAA Tournament, I knew I would have to make a bold move in order to have a chance at winning, but I wanted to pick a team I thought legitimately had a chance of making it to the Final Four. That team is the […]

Jimmer Fredette is to BYU as Kemba Walker is to the University of Connecticut. UConn has advanced to the Sweet 16 and fans should be thanking Kemba for the 33 points he contributed to the team in its battle against the University of Cincinnati on Saturday night. Next up for UConn is San Diego State […]
Going into the season, I thought Syracuse had a fantastic shot at winning the National Title. As a #3 seed, the Orange still are in a nice position to make a post-season run; however, unfortunately for Scoop, Kris, et al., they have to make it through a very difficult East Region. Will they actually put […]
The University of North Carolina Chapel Hill is back in the ACC Championship game, facing a familiar foe in Duke (the team we covered just yesterday). I will certainly be switching over to that game when there are breaks in the Florida Gators vs. Kentucky Wildcats match-up for the SEC Championship. Much like Duke, North […]
Wilson Chandler, the 3rd year New York Knicks forward from DePaul University, has made a switch of representation. He was formerly represented by Chris Luchey of CGL Sports. I’m still a big fan of Luchey’s website – at least it is different than the run of the mill sports agency webpage. Prior to starting up […]
Here we go with the first Shabbat Shalom: Friday Wrap-Up of the new year. I can’t say that I am disappointed with how 2011 has begun. I am working on some very interesting sports and entertainment legal issues, and things are also quite busy at Dynasty, where we are working hard on procuring deals for […]

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 […]
Creative Artists Agency’s basketball agent, Leon Rose, and newly minted coaches agent, William “Worldwide Wes” Wesley, were recently spotted discussing a purchase of 12 apartments on 2 floors of the W New York Downtown Hotel & Residences. This is hardly surprising given how lucrative the property market can be. Enlisting the support of a Ponte […]
It’s July 1st. Basketball junkies have been waiting for this day for quite some time. Their favorite teams can start talking to LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh…for the past year, we have been doing all the talking for those teams. Those three players are getting the most hype out of this ridiculous class of […]
I’m not getting involved in the trades hoopla. Here is the breakdown according to the team that drafted the player, before any trades were made. BDA Sports – 7 clients selected. Priority Sports and ASM Sports each with 6 clients selected. First Round John Wall (Washington Wizards) – Dan Fegan (Lagardère) – Washington D.C. is getting used […]
