    I honestly hope they succeed. I always like hearing guys start their own thing and having success with it.

    I’m all about ownership and being your own boss.

    Only certain occupation fields i feel need college degree doctors, engineers, lawyers, and nurses. To become a sports agent is not something you need to go to college for but money to put for a firm and lawyers. Its a misconception that you need a degree to make good money or have high status line of work. You think you need a finance degree to know how to play stocks and have people invest money into you? Nope just a great portfolio and record of stocks you play and people will be willing to invest with you.

    T-Mac arguably has better qualifications than Rich Paul did considering he was one of the most popular players of his time and probably was the favorite NBA player for a lot of current stars in the league.

    right, but the qualification he didn't have was that he didn't end up becoming an agent

    As scarce as sports entertainment is nowadays, isn't their a clause where you don't need to be represented by an agent to save a few bucks?

    In the NBA, agents are mainly paid to go collect endorsements for max level players.

    For non max level players...you're gonna want an agent

    They should have gone with Mc O'Neal Irish Sports Group and Bar.

    Should the 99'ers start our own agency @tinman? We only take on old school mentality players. Not sure there are any in the league right now, though?
