Chapter 043 Fragrant Pastry Lin Yi
Compared with the glamorous NBA players, NBA player agents are really a thankless job.
Many NBA players even borrow money from their agents before entering the NBA, or some of their relatives and friends borrow money from their agents.
An NBA agent once complained anonymously that after his employer was selected into the lottery, he asked him to arrange a plane immediately so that he could go on vacation with his friends. Naturally, the scout did not dare to offend his employer, so he made arrangements soon.
But after he made arrangements, his employer said he didn't want to go, so the agent had no choice but to pay a certain compensation fee to the pilot and cancel the trip.
However, not long after the agent returned home, his employer said that he still had to go and had to set off that day. The agent had no choice but to contact the pilot again. However, when it was time to set off, his employer said he could not come and would have to be late. In this way, after three repeated triples, the agent's employer still set off at night with his friends.
The agent who originally thought he could take a rest for a while didn't expect that around the early morning his employer called him to get some wine because they drank all the wine...
"A basketball genius is different from other team sports. When he was selected into the All-American team in his senior year, everyone knew him. Everyone in the town knew him. Agents, college coaches, media, and many people in the basketball world knew him. You and I were mature when we were in college, and we knew how to refuse, and we experienced success and failure. We grew up through learning. This is healthy growth. But these five-star high school students are household names and their growth path is very special. From the age of 14 to 15, they may be the most famous people in the local area."
"When every coach uses you, every girl promises your date, everyone wants to be your friend, you can give orders, and no one dares to say your weakness, how can you grow up normally? If you do something wrong and others take the blame, it may be a coach, teammate or agent. They are deprived of any possible chance of failure, and they do not have to be responsible and do not have to learn important courses in life."
This is also a major reason why many NBA players live a pauper life after retirement, and it is also the reason why the league invites some financial experts to teach rookies who have just entered the league every year.
Most NBA players were too poor when they were young, and suddenly became millionaires, of course they must be very casual. So the final result is that they often become indifferent to the people in the NBA Superman league and quickly leave people's sight...
However, no matter how hard NBA player agents are, many people still jump into the fire pit. After all, there are risks and rewards.
News about Lin Yi's decision to hire an agent was posted through Javier Stanford.
The NBA teams were happy, especially Presti and the Thunder. Although the NBA clearly stipulated that it was not allowed to contact rookies in advance, Presti would not care about such rules.
"As long as Lin has determined his agent, I will immediately arrange for me to meet with his agent." Presti said to his assistant.
NBA agents are crazy too.
What a joke, Lin Yi is the top three popular rookies this year, and he also relies on the Chinese market. Such a potential player, those NBA giants don’t want to miss it.
Jeff Swartz, Mark Bartelstein, Bill Duffield, Leon Rose, Andy Miller, Ritchie Paul, Robert Pelinka, Dan Feigan, Aaron Mintz, Jeff Austin...
One legendary agent after another bombarded Lin Yi.
Jeff Swarts told Lin Yi that his employers are all big men from the NBA and that he knew how to help Lin Yi plan and plan his growth direction. Look, how good Aldridge has done here.
Leon Ross told Lin Yi that he would help Lin Yi analyze reasonably and make calm judgments, and look at how awesome Cameron Anthony's career!
Ritchie Paul's recruitment is simple and domineering. Do you want to become the next superstar? I am good at hype and will keep you at the pinnacle of public opinion.
Robert Pelinka even played the emotional card. I heard that your idol is Kobe Bryant? Should I train with Kobe in the offseason?
These NBA bosses have used all the weapons they can use.
There is nothing else, I just want to recruit Lin Yi!
"Am I so popular?" Lin Yi asked while eating the special burger, looking at Stephen Curry, who lost to himself in 2K.
"Of course." Stephen Curry was too familiar with these.
"This is the NBA. The NBA is also a business world. Because you are valuable, they will support you like this." Stephen Curry said clichély.
Stephen Curry was curious about who Lin Yi would choose.
Because Lin Yi was calling just now, he turned on the public release, and Stephen even heard a scout even planned to use money to make Lin Yi surrender...
This is nothing new in the NCAA. An agent even used money to seduce his employer in order to acquire players.
After all, these geniuses who are still playing in the NCAA are really poor students...
Otherwise, basketball scholarships from these American universities would not be so attractive to them.
"I don't plan to choose them." Lin Yi knew the importance of this move, and he didn't plan to hide it from Stephen Curry.
Lin Yi soon received an email from Javier Stanford. In this email, there were many information and information from agents, and these agents were not famous. The most powerful of them was to sign two substitutes who played in the NBA.
"I want to form my own team." Lin Yi told Stephen Curry.
"That's so cool!" Babyface became more interested. Who would Lin Yi choose?
Lin Yi had actually made up his mind long ago.
Although the NBA's big guys have many resources and connections, for the knowledge Lin Yi has mastered, what he needs is not resources and connections. In the United States, no matter how many resources and connections you have, you will be finished sooner or later if you can't grasp them yourself.
He was not worried that the agent he chose would not bring him resources. To put it bluntly, what Lin Yi needed was a real military advisor behind the scenes, rather than a dog-headed military advisor who encouraged himself to ask for a big contract every time during the offseason.
Lin Yi's eyes remained on a resume sent by Javier Stanford.
This person...
It's a little interesting.
Especially his past experiences can be said to be quite legendary.
Lin Yi immediately sent a text message to Javier Stanford.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure!"
