I started in this business 18 years ago, at age 14. I didn’t make enough money to support myself until I was 24. I never did it for the money. I did it because I love this game with every fiber of my being. 🧵 1/6

For people asking how I know Jacob, we grew up together. We are friends. We went to school together from Kindergarten through high school. His family asked me to deliver the message that he is still alive and he can make it through this, and that reports of his death are false.

Tyrell has incredible gifts to give to the world aside from putting a ball in a hoop. When he told his story thousands of athletes & non-athletes alike started to share their own stories about mental health struggles. His story made it ok for people to admit they’re not ok. (6/7)

Tyrell’s bravery to live his truth is beautiful — and his courage to share his story with the world is powerful & inspiring. The life of a pro athlete isn’t for everyone. And being an NBA player — the money, fame, attention and competition doesn’t guarantee fulfillment. (3/7)

Tip for NIL collectives: it is possible to sign college athletes to multi year deals with buyouts. Player X is a freshman in the portal with 3 to play. He wants a 3 year guaranteed deal. You want to make sure he doesn’t blow up and leave after one year. How to make it work:

Didn’t realize how many people Zeke had an impact on until today. The outpouring of love has been intense. Between Lab school, Mac Irvin Fire, First Step, ISU, Hofstra, G-League/NBA fam, he touched so many of us. He was such a cool, kind dude. A really special human. Love u Zeke.

Unfortunately I’ve seen too many coaches post empty statements, afraid to upset boosters. Failing to use the words “black” and “police” - failing to call the issues by their name - is failing to take a stand. Do Black Lives Matter? Or do all lives matter. What side are you on?

7 years ago yesterday when I was managing Spenzo and we opened for Travis Scott at a girls Bar Mitzvah in Northbrook with 50 thirteen year old girls at it. My caption was indeed a predictor of things to come, I have a keen eye for talent.

For context, Fardaws was born in Vancouver but his parents are from Afghanistan. His father fled Afghanistan as a 17 year old during wartime and was taken as a political prisoner in Pakistan, forced to survive in a 8x3 jail cell for months. His son realizes the American dream,

I marched with this young lady last weekend. She led the march and was a bright beacon of light. A CPS graduate committed to bringing change to our city. Police attacked her and took her phone while she was recording them arresting protestors at the Columbus statue in Chicago.

Portal trend I’m seeing: because of the vast number of names to sift through, programs are becoming increasingly reliant on analytics to filter options. If you look good on HDI/KenPom you’re over recruited, if your HDI is bad you’re undervalued. Coaches: watch film, find value.

I get 100’s of resumes a year from people wanting to break into the industry. When I ask, “WHY SHOULD I HIRE YOU?” the most common answer is “BECAUSE I REALLY WANT THIS.” Well there are only 450 NBA players and only 100 or so agents with NBA clients. Just wanting it isn’t enough.
