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 […]

I look forward to posting the interview late Sunday night. Subscribers get to see it first, right when it’s posted, so stop stalling…subscribe now. Besides that, I […]

Cool news: I am scheduled to have an interview with Leigh Steinberg on Monday to discuss his efforts in promoting a cause to prevent, appropriately diagnose and treat sports concussions. Not so cool news: I actually had a mild concussion this week. At least we have something to talk about! On the real, I still […]

I recently discussed that NBA Early Entries will start to select agents right about now, and if Rose officially picks Tellem for representation, he will not disappoint.

If there is a single website that is the premier source for the NBA draft, it has got to be DraftExpress.com. The site is ahead of the curve in finding out who will be entering the NBA draft early, at what slot players should be selected, and which agents players will end up signing with. […]

Unsung Hero Day: Luther Head
Don Langridan at sports blog, With Malice, has dubbed today as Unsung Hero Day. The point is to recognize the guys who toil and work hard every day, for no recognition. We should appreciate the role-players who come on and give that valuable 2-5 minutes. Without them, there is no NBA. Without further ado, I […]
