Powerful? Haha. If you are not greedy amd dont bow down to worship money, he and his like have zero power. Their "power" is nothing more than a puff of dust in the wind. They only have power of weak and greedy people.

[@EchoRhythmMusic]

Mike original contract with the Bulls was shortchanged

[@seize3]

This is crazy how much this guy changed the business. It's no wonder why so many old NBA players went broke. Their agents had no idea what they were doing. No one knew what a guarantee meant?!

[@bendover3653]

Their agents knew exactly what they were doing, they just didn't really care about the players they just wanted their check.

Old NBA players went broke because they couldn't live within reasonable means and were greedy.

The Patrick Ewing staying in school story is interesting because John Thompson suggested Patrick to leave after his junior year, that was unlike coach because he believed in his players completing the full four years, Coach Thompson was probably thinking timing because Georgetown had won the national title in Ewing's junior year and thought he would go number 1, good deal for him to stay another year

[@Matt-cr4vv]

The story of Nike and MJ is always wild to think he basically had to get dragged to their meeting. Hindsight is obviously huge in that but wild to think how things would’ve been different considering that even to this day MJ makes more a year from the Jordan brand than he made in NBA salary for his entire career. Clearly it wasn’t a slam dunk at the time since Nike wasn’t an established brand like it became but still wild to think if his parents and Falk hadn’t forced him to take that meeting and explained to him how much better the Nike deal was than anything else how different financially things would’ve been.

[@tashabonner760]

Kevin think about when you players don't invest time participating in all star weekend... you have played in some all star games. You have not showed us an all around skilled player by myself adding up your different accolades as a viewer. so many players, I should call their summer games, Olympic games, and competition during all star weekend. So remember what you have to do to make the mark with fans that only watch these kinda showcases. You still run 82 games that same viewer may never see. Remember the 50 year old that's only watching your summer, Olympic, all-star weekend playoffs and championships. That's 5 chances in a season for network and advancement how many chances did you look into as opportunity at work

Damn Levittown was a all white city built for white people. Blacks were not allowed to purchase there. How ironic he becomes an agent for the richest black basketball player ever. Levittown would also become a symbol of racial segregation in the United States, due to Clause 25 of the standard lease agreement signed by the first residents of Levittown, who had an option to buy their homes. This "restrictive covenant" stated in capital letters and bold type that the house could not "be used or occupied by any person other than members of the Caucasian race."
