Anyone purchase their TeeBows yet? How long until a lawsuit shuts that site down? Okay, so I have 4 finals out of the way and only 1 left, sitting there laughing at me. His name is Corporations and I will battle him at 8:30 a.m. on Monday. Then it’s back to business as usual, but […]

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 […]
Some of the best graduating seniors in the NCAA are currently participating in the Portsmouth Invitational Tournament.

The Portsmouth Invitational Tournament (PIT) serves as a yearly showcase for college seniors who are looking for another opportunity to show their skills in front of NBA scouts.
