  • Off Court Advantage: Turning Athletes Into Star Investors
    Off Court Advantage: Turning Athletes Into Star Investors A-list athletes like Serena Williams, Steph Curry, Kobe Bryant, Carmelo Anthony, and Andre Iguodala are among the best- known sports stars also playing the investment game in the tech field. The forecast for 2020 is growing teamwork between athletes and tech startups. Indeed, news headlines rotate between startups boasting of professional athlete brand ambassadors and players who are reinventing themselves as investors and fund leaders. “High tech and technology are visible and tempting fields,” says Shmulik Zysman, founding partner of ZAG-S&W international law firm and head of the firm’s high-tech department. With limited years to play on a sports field, it makes sense that a rising number of athletes are eyeing technology for their next step. Adv. Shmulik Zysman, Founding Partner of ZAG-S&W. Courtesy “Top players are still buying cars and real estate. But they must think about the future as well. This is a time when athletes read newspapers like you and me and understand the fortune is laying in the tech field,” Zysman, a former Maccabi Tel Aviv basketball player who is in Israel’s Hall of Fame, tells NoCamels. “At the same time, the top high-tech leaders would love to join forces with the best athletes in the world as it could give them good exposure, marketing advantages and contacts,” says Zysman. “The opportunities for both sides are growing.” Oren Simanian, founder and general manager of Tel Aviv-based Colosseum international sports tech innovation group, wants to keep the playing field fair.

  • By Joe Kaiser ESPN It Took Danny Ferry Exactly Seven Days in His
    By Joe Kaiser ESPN Smith had a great 2011 -12, but he is an unrestricted free agent after this season. It took Danny Ferry exactly seven days in his new role as the Atlanta Hawks' president of basketball operations and general manager to completely change the face of the franchise. His ability to swiftly orchestrate separate deals to part with high-priced veterans Joe Johnson and Marvin Williams signaled a commitment to rebuilding and shed as much as $77 million still owed to the two veterans beyond next season. Fast-forward two-and-a-half months to today, and Ferry's rebuilt roster has only a handful of contracts that go beyond the 2012-13 season: • Al Horford : Signed through 2015-16. • Lou Williams : Signed through 2013-14. • John Jenkins : 2012 first-round pick. • Mike Scott : 2012 second-round pick. • Jeff Teague : Due to become a restricted free agent at season's end, barring an extension. Notice one big name we didn't mention: Josh Smith . The tantalizingly talented, yet often frustrating, forward is among the many Hawks entering the final year of their deals, and he represents arguably the biggest challenge for Ferry to date: what to do with Smith. If handled correctly, this could be the next step toward eventually turning the Hawks into a perennial playoff contender. Mishandled, and this could undo everything good that came out of the trades of Johnson and Williams. So the question is, what's the smarter move for Ferry and the Hawks? a) Negotiate an extension that will keep Smith in Atlanta for the long term.
