7 Foot Man-Eating Chicken
In any field of endeavor there are numerous paths to success. The business or profession of representing professional basketball players is no exception. We all choose through our experiences which path we are willing to travel in order to achieve that success. My profession is loaded with stories of payoffs and out and out bribery. (See the current FBI investigations)
While I am an extremely competitive individual and one could say I have thrived in the industry, I choose not to cheat. This has led me down a path of less financial reward but of a much more interesting and diverse clientele. When you represent over 200 basketball players who just happen to be among the finest athletes in the World, you are in for some interesting situations. In "7 Foot Man-Eating Chicken" I have picked out several of those bizarre occurrences. I believe I have put them in a form that is interesting as well as comical and sometimes very poignant.
