They Trying To Make Sure We'll Never See Another Rich Paul

[Shadow King]

guess this prevents players using the mom, dad, brothers as an agent lol

That's who this is for more than Rich Paul.

This thread is a microcosm of everything that’s wrong with how news is disseminated by both social and more traditional media; and processed by the masses...we see it all the time when people make threads on here based on some random article or news blurb with a title or OP that misrepresents it wildly...followed by pages arguing passionately behind some fallacious premise...some of those arguments are even well thought out, but ultimately at best are a random tangent to the actual topic at hand...shyt gets played out on social media daily...it’s no coincidence Trump is governing via Twitter damn near...scary and crazy how fragile reality and the truth is and how easy it is to manipulate

Life and world news in2019 Breh.

shyts crazy

These white supremacists man

Yall think it's a coincidence that the same folks that go to every Bron thread to shyt on him are the ones downplaying this? No coincidence at all?

They will just keep changing the rules in order to maintain their slice of the pie.

The smarter man should win out. But no, I need to jump through a few hoops just to be allowed to prove I'm smarter. Why not show us the value of your qualifications for a change? The players don't get to put these types of restrictions on the guys they play against.

It’s funny because Lebron fans are the first people to call someone a Trump supporter

They only read headlines, follow whatever media personality that states their point of view, and constantly bring up stats. Trump 101

Please, in your own words, explain to me how this impacts Rich Paul or the “next Rich Paul.” I’ll be waiting on your example of super agents with just a high school diploma that are not attached to the biggest star in American sports.

I trust I’ll be waiting a very long time.

There's something like 15-20x as many White men with college degrees than Black men. But you're cool with this so long as only those guys rich enough to hire other degreed agents underneath them can still work. Meaning ZERO opportunity for entry-level Black men with no degree.

Why am I not the least surprised for it to be you saying this too.

Again, you’re not looking at this logically. The rule requires the agent to have a college degree.

Rich Paul owns the agency ( no different than Richard Lovett owning CAA agency) yet he has college educated agents do the actual work. How will he be affected by this rule?

How does this stop the next rich Paul? There’s literally nothing stopping Zion Williamson from hiring his friend to be his agent. Hell De’aron Fox just made his trainer his agent recently.

The rule does not say this. If a player wants to hire someone without those qualifications, that’s fine. You just won’t be able to return from school. If you’re a fringe pro player and want to hire someone with zero agency experience, then your decision making skills are severely lacking in the first place.

I’ve seen plenty of kids who have hired dudes off the street to be their agent off a handful of good college games. They get bad advice because they aren’t connected or knowledgeable, jump in the draft, never come close to being picked, and then they wash out. Rich Paul isn’t dealing with anyone in the gray area.

Rich Paul doesn’t even care about “the next Rich Paul” doesn’t even have any other black agents around him, degree or no degree

If you ask him why, he’ll tell you there aren’t enough qualified people

 

[cartierhoe]

This is good free promo for Rich Paul and those boys. From my understanding this does nothing to harm him, he only reps players in the league anyway and not fringe kids that come outta college like that anyway. The Darius Bazley deal isn’t affected because he was never going to college anyway.

I didn't say a word about Rich Paul. Let me repeat myself:

"There's something like 15-20x as many White men with college degrees than Black men. But you're cool with this so long as only those guys rich enough to hire other degreed agents underneath them can still work. Meaning ZERO opportunity for entry-level Black men with no degree."

The NCAA is creating the strongest rule they can over what they can control. They literally couldn't create a rule more disadvantageous to agents without a college degree.

If you’re a fringe pro player and want to hire someone with zero agency experience, then your decision making skills are severely lacking in the first place.

The rule doesn't say more than that because the NCAA has no control over what someone does in the NBA. But they're creating the strongest rule they can within the realm they control.

Your shyt about "zero agency experience" makes no sense - first off, literally every agent has to start somewhere, and second off, whether or not you have a college degree has nothing to do with how much agency experience you have or anything else about being a good agent.

How many super agents don’t have a degree?

I don’t see the issue


Can a black man not pass an exam?


Terrible thread

Ask LeBron because he sees it the way I do
