……

After the game, Li Kang, Kobe and Gasol attended the team press conference together.

ESPN reporter: "Lee, you played point center for a long time in the game, how do you feel about it?"

Li Kang: "Hello, beautiful reporter! As long as I can help the team win, I can play any position on the court, from one to five, and I can play any position that Zen Master needs me to play."

ESPN reporter: "Li, you only signed a one-year contract with the Lakers. Will you still be in Los Angeles next season? Has the Lakers management approached you to discuss contract renewal?"

Li Kang: "I will solve these problems one by one during the offseason. Now our goal is to fight for the championship with all our strength."

……

Then the three left the press conference together.

Li Kang felt that it was time to find an agent. Some domestic brand companies had contacted Li Kang to discuss endorsement matters before, but Li Kang used the playoffs as an excuse to postpone the discussion until the offseason.

Li Kang: "Boss, I want to find an agent. If there is a suitable candidate, please recommend it to me."

Kobe: "Well, my agent Rob Pelinka is not bad, I will send you his information tonight."

Li Kang: "Boss, thank you! I will seriously consider it."

……

Then Li Kang called Yao Ming and James respectively, asking them to help recommend suitable agents.

In the evening, Li Kang received three agent materials:

Kobe recommended his agent, Rob Pelinka.

Yao Ming also recommended his agent Bill Duffy.

James recommended his hair young Rich Paul.

……

Rob Pelinka Personal Details:

In 1969, Pelinka was born in a basketball family. He was influenced by his father since he was a child. As a coach, his father often took Pelinka to and from the basketball court. Therefore, he liked playing basketball since he was a child, and inspired himself to enter the NBA arena in the future.

In high school, Pelinka was already a high school basketball star. In his senior year of high school, he averaged 30 points and 10 rebounds per game, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 41%.

In 1988, Pelinka graduated from high school and entered the University of Michigan to play. During his school days, the team reached the NCAA semi-finals three times (1989, 1992, 1993), and won the NCAA championship with the team in 1989.

Unlike in high school, Pelinka mostly waved towels off the court, looked at the drinking fountains, and occasionally played a dozen games during garbage time.

Although Pelinka's childhood dream was to play in the NBA one day, but combined with his physical condition and technical ability, he gradually realized the reality and gave up this idea.

Although Pelinka's physical condition is not good, his mind is very flexible.

In 1996, Pelinka obtained a lawyer's license and became a lawyer.

Pelinka, who was about to make a big career in the legal industry, met Tellem, the agent of Kobe and McGrady at the time, who invited Pelinka to come to his brokerage company as a legal consultant due to a coincidence.

Relying on his ingenuity and extraordinary ability, Pelinka quickly transformed from a company's legal counsel to a professional broker.

In 1998, Pelinka met Kobe. Sometimes fate is a very strange thing. Kobe and Pelinka, who are not sociable, became good friends.

In the same year, Pelinka established his own brokerage company, and Kobe soon became his client.

In 2004, he did Kobe a big favor.

That year, Kobe made a "mistake that men all over the world make." Pelinka relied on his legal background to help Kobe and try his best to eliminate the negative impact of the Eagle County incident.In this regard, Pelinka gained Kobe's trust, and a deep friendship was formed between the two.

With Kobe's support for Pelinka's agent business, his career has become more and more prosperous, and many players have joined his agency.

Representatives of its players include: Kobe, Iguodala.

.......

Bill Duffy Personal Details:

The relationship between Bill Duffy and his players is like a friend. If his work is lacking, he is willing to pay for the loss of the players himself.

In 2003, his Anthony Carter contract was about to expire, but before the renewal deadline, Bill Duffy forgot to negotiate with the Heat, which eventually caused Anthony Carter to voluntarily give up the remaining one-year contract worth $400 million , At the same time, he also pushed Anthony Carter into a very embarrassing situation.

Anthony Carter's poor performance in the 2002-03 season, it is difficult for any team to sign him.

At this time, Bill Duffy took the initiative to assume all the responsibilities. He helped Anthony Carter sign a contract with the Spurs with an annual salary of about US$100 million, and at the same time, he took out US$300 million from his own pocket to compensate Anthony Carter for the loss. .

Bill Duffy's move completely impressed Anthony Carter.

Anthony Carter once said: "He is a very sincere person, he will also be my agent, and we will always be good friends!"

Bill Duffy also hopes that all the players under his banner can become "good guys". He would rather miss the opportunity to make a fortune than serve some players with black spots and poor ratings.

Bill Duffy: "Money doesn't represent everything. I am not just a broker for money. I have my own bottom line and principles."

Representatives of its players include: Yao Ming, Steve Nash.

……

Rich Paul Personal Details:

One day in 2002, 17-year-old James was still a high school student and wanted to buy a rare nfl retro jersey. He saw Rich Paul selling jerseys at the airport, so he asked.

Rich Paul used all his connections and spent a lot of money to help James get the jersey in no time.

At that time, Rich Paul was also a small jersey vendor living at the bottom of society.

With the first pleasant cooperation, whenever James has a request for a jersey or other merchandise, he will always think of Rich Paul at the first time.

The two quickly became friends and established a deep friendship.

When James became the No. 2003 pick in the NBA in [-], he took the initiative to pay Rich Paul a sum of money and asked him if he would like to join his camp.

As you can imagine, Rich Paul readily agreed and joined James' camp.

The reason why James regards Rich as his own is because in him, he found the same characteristics as himself. He was born in poverty and lived in a slum street where drugs, alcoholics, and prostitutes grew up.

But both of them are extremely self-disciplined and mature, looking for opportunities and eager to change their destiny.

Although Rich Paul has never studied economics, during the period from 2003 to 08, he continued to study business skills through practice, and successfully entered the well-known brokerage company CAA due to James' influence.

……

Li Kang recalled the achievements of these three people in his previous life, and decisively chose Rich Paul, who is currently unknown, and declined Pelinka and Bill Duffy.

Rich Paul came to the house the next day, and the two had a great chat.

Rich: "Boss, I'm glad to serve you! I want to get 3% salary commission and 20% endorsement fee commission. What do you think?"

Li Kang: "Yes, you will be responsible for my contract, endorsement and other related matters in the future. I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Since then, Li Kang has become Rich Paul's first client.
