There are many different roles one can have in the NBA, but a lot of them all overlap anyway. Sometimes coaches practice with players; sometimes a front office exec helps out on the coaching staff; sometimes agents need to crunch the numbers like scouts to gauge their clients’ values. That being said, an agent becoming […]
Another solid week of The Sports Biz. Thanks to everyone who has supported the new website and followed it on Twitter. Exciting news about Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson doing a pay-per-view head-to-head event in November. Interesting discussions among NFL agents occurred this week that I touched upon in a blog post. To be clear, […]
So we officially soared to new Heitners. Some of you who have been reading this blog for a long time were in attendance at my wedding with Brooke. Others have certainly been inundated with updates. It was honestly a magnificent affair, and I am beyond excited to see what the future brings personally and professionally. […]
Here’s a special St. Patrick’s Day, Darren in Las Vegas edition of the weekly wrap-up. I’m in Vegas for what has been an annual tradition for so many years that I have lost count. Sin City is the destination of choice for the first couple rounds of the NCAA Tournament, and there is a lot […]
So the days are dwindling down as we get closer to December 23, when I am getting married. Yeah, we even have a website. I also posted a picture this past week that our marvelous photographer took during our “Engagement Shoot.” A lot goes into getting married! But before the wedding, there’s a lot more […]

Happy Pesach to those observing the Jewish holiday of Passover. Hope you make it through roughly a week of no bread! Staying local this weekend, but heading to San Francisco on Tuesday to participate in the GiGse annual event. May find my way to a Golden State Warriors home game on Wednesday. This week on […]
Looking forward to putting the final touches on what was probably Heitner Legal’s busiest week to date. The one major problem with that is that at some point, that website, as well as all other sites I own (except for Sports Agent Blog, which is on a different server) was hacked. I am still having […]
Most analysis surrounding sports agents revolve around an agent’s initial signing of an athlete or an athlete firing an agent or an agent negotiating an athlete’s contract. However, less emphasis is placed on the accolades agents’ clients receive during their playing careers. Below highlights the players and coach that won (or will likely win) 2013-2014 […]
