NBA: The second generation of the strongest star

Chapter 9 Andrew Clause



Chapter 9 Andrew Clause

"Andrew, our plan was very successful. Congratulations, you finally became a member of the New York Knicks." Andrew's manager Schwartz said excitedly.

When Andrew was a freshman, Schwartz was silently following Andrew. After his sophomore year, Schwartz formally met with Andrew and said he wanted to be his agent.

Schwartz originally thought that with his reputation, it was estimated that they hit it off.

The results of it?Andrew didn't agree right away, but said to give him time to think about it.

After half a month of no news, Schwartz thought it was hopeless, but the next day, he received a call from Andrew, wanting to sign a contract with him and formally hire him as his agent.

In fact, in the past half a month, Andrew went to get to know the brokerage circle, and to get to know Schwartz.

Schwartz is a law student. When he was a student, he first obtained a bachelor's degree in law at the University of Miami, and later studied at Temple University, where he obtained a master's degree and a doctorate degree.After school, Schwartz clerked in a federal bankruptcy court in Los Angeles and returned to his hometown of Connecticut to work in the firm's commercial litigation department.

In 1992, Schwartz joined the famous American International Management Group and started his career as a sports agent. In the following 8 years, he was involved in tennis business.More and more star players have become Schwartz's clients, including the famous Sampras and Hingis.

In 2002, Schwartz made another bold decision to set up his own brokerage company, which is now the famous Excel Sports Management Company.Next, Schwartz began to extend his business tentacles to the basketball circle, started an attempt to cooperate with NBA players, and became a well-known agent in the NBA circle.

After getting to know Schwartz, Andrew finally made up his mind and agreed to Schwartz becoming his agent, but there was one condition, and he had to follow his own arrangement.

Schwartz has no opinion on this.

Today, two years later, Andrew, who is only 18 years old, officially became an NBA player.

This makes Schwartz think that he has made a profit, this is a unicorn.

You must know that in 05, the NBA officially introduced a new measure, which is to prohibit high school players from directly crossing the college league to participate in the draft. Howard and Jeff Green have also become the last high school rookies in the NBA so far.This also makes many super talented players no longer have the previous treatment of James and Kobe, so they can only play in the NCAA obediently.

The NBA hopes to reduce the situation where high school graduates rush to challenge the NBA before deciding whether to experience the baptism of the NCAA competition.Although the high school players are not bad in talent, but due to the lack of higher-level training, they often have unacceptable situations in the NBA, and the fiercely competitive NBA has no time for them to grow. The success rate is low and the elimination rate remains high.

Secondly, the mentality of high school players is not mature enough.Many high school players started to sing and sing every night after getting rich overnight, and even did many exaggerated things, which made these players ultimately unable to further develop in the NBA.

The importance of culture.According to relevant statistics, after 5 years of retiring, the bankruptcy rate of NBA players has reached more than 50%.Because of the lack of sufficient cultural knowledge, these high school players are not good at financial management, and they have no skills after retiring. They are prone to embarrassment in life and bankruptcy.One of the main reasons for forcing these students to enter the NCAA is that the NCAA must achieve a certain score in cultural courses, otherwise they will not be able to participate in the competition. Such regulations can also allow these people to learn some knowledge to enter.

The last is support for the NCAA. The NCAA is undoubtedly the largest talent delivery base in the NBA, and as too many talents are unwilling to wait to choose to jump into the NBA, the attractiveness and talent value of the NCAA is declining year by year. If this situation is not improved, the NBA will eventually destroy its own talents. The transportation base is also for this reason. When seeing more and more high school students participating in the draft, the NBA immediately issued corresponding regulations.

In addition, it is also required that the age of participating rookies must be 19 years old or at least one year away from high school graduation.

For various reasons, players who are generally over 18 years old cannot be drafted in the NBA at all.

But Andrew's situation is completely different. He has graduated from high school for three years and played in the NCAA for three years. In addition to leading the team to win the NCAA championship, he also completed college studies. This is a perfect spokesperson. President David can't wait Andrew is about to enter the NBA, such a talent, it's great.

What's more, the rules are ruled by people, and they are also broken by people.

However, some people still questioned that Andrew was not yet 19 years old, and they were probably afraid that Andrew's login to the NBA would break his master's youngest scores one by one.

Immediately afterwards, an Andrew clause was directly added to the NBA draft, which means that players in a situation like Andrew can make an exception to participate in the draft.

Instantly shut the mouths of these people.

This incident made Andrew's popularity rise again.

Especially Jordan, who couldn't even close his mouth when he smiled, which was too embarrassing, and he walked with wind.

"Thank you," Andrew replied with a smile. Andrew didn't expect it to go so smoothly. After he announced the news of his participation in the draft, he received more than 20 teams' trial training.

But Andrew chose to choose three of the teams, namely the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, and New York Knicks. In fact, he most wanted to go to the New York Knicks, because the New York Knicks have no owners, and the city of New York Knicks is enough. Big, which is obviously very much in line with where he developed.

Secondly, his excellent body and NCAA data, coupled with his own popularity, made the New York Knicks management unable to sit still.

Especially in recent years, their showy operations, signing countless rubbish contracts, and their results are bottom-line every year. The New York Knicks management is either scolded by fans or on the way to be scolded by fans every day.

He was even ridiculed by countless people that the New York Knicks are so rich and stupid.

This made James Dolan lash out at the New York Knicks management, and even issued an ultimatum. If there is no improvement next season, get out!
In an instant, the New York Knicks management was in desperate need of a superstar, such as Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and others.

But can they come to the New York Knicks?

The answer is definitely no.

Just when they were at a loss.

One of the management proposals might as well target rookies.

As soon as the words fell, they were immediately rejected by everyone.

Are rookies useful?We need to be a super giant now, a super giant that can block the boss and fans.

At this moment, the management team threw Andrew's personal information to everyone.

They didn't take it seriously after reading it, but after the management reminded them, they noticed Andrew's biological father: Jordan, the god of basketball.

In an instant, a flame appeared in their eyes.

Then they teamed up to the NCAA finals, and after watching the entire game, they decided to include the future superstar in the column.

So they set to work.

And that happened to be what Andrew had in mind.

The two sides hit it off.

After a series of operations, Andrew finally became a player of the New York Knicks.
