I have an action packed weekend ahead of me. First, I will be supporting my client, Mike Spinner, as the Monster Army Recon Tour BMX Contest makes its first East Coast stop at Abacoa Park in Jupiter, Florida on Saturday. That will be followed up with my beautiful grandmother’s birthday dinner. And then on Sunday, I am […]
First, I have to thank the Miami Heat for scheduling a great slate of games on my birthday weekend. Between a game against the Clippers tonight, my birthday tomorrow, and the Lakers vs. Heat on Sunday, this is sure to be a fun filled number of days. Articles this past week on Forbes.com include: (1) Value […]
In 2008, National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) Executive Director Billy Hunter drafted an "inflexible memo" to announce the NBPA's plan to enforce its rule with regard to the prohibition against agents representing both NBA players and NBA coaches.

The biggest news of the weekend was undoubtedly the proclamation that there will be a 2011-12 NBA season (albeit reduced from 82 regular season games to 66 regular season games). The announcement was made between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. early Saturday morning. The season will tentatively kick-off with 3 Christmas Day games, including the […]

I am here to listen to the amazing panels, network with a lot of friends in the sports industry, and accept my 10 Next Award (I […]
“By some combination of mendacity and greed, the agents who are looking out for themselves rather than their clients are trying to scuttle the deal. They’re engaged in what appears to be an orchestrated Twitter campaign and a series of interviews that are designed to deny the economic realities of the proposal.” – NBA Commisioner […]
It’s 11/11/11…make a wish? How about thanking a veteran? Sports labor battles are not only occurring in the United States. The Israeli women’s basketball league is currently on strike. I am already looking forward to the 2012 World Baseball Classic…if Israel is able to successfully lobby its way into the event. Kudos to Shawn Green, […]
With a full slate of NFL and NCAA football, it is easy to forget that any other sports exist. However, the NBA is coming off of a fantastic season with its highest NBA Finals television ratings since 2004 (and I contend that there were much less competing TV options six years prior). Yet, as each […]
It has been a very eventful past couple of weeks for me. Quite a bit of stuff is still pending; some I wish to keep confidential and other information I feel free to share. I have accepted a new legal job, which will start in about a week and a half. I have had an […]
