Via NetsDaily:
One of the Brooklyn group’s original investors had to sell his share in the team to avoid a conflict of interest with his new job, as an agent for professional athletes. His job, he said, was done.
“I think my job was done with the Nets,” he told Elliot Wilson. “They got to Brooklyn. I played my part in that, even the look and design and attitude of the Brooklyn Nets.”
In the interview, he said his decision to become a sports agent evolved from conversations he’s had with athletes about their finances, noting the high number of professional athletes who got bankrupt not long after the exit the game.
