I know this guy personally. Jason Levien has represented a friend of our family's for years and has been honest, hard-working, smart. He is a good and decent guy and I am generally a tough judge of people. I have heard for years that the agent business is extremely cutthroat and that there are a lot of haters, but Jason is one of the smarter agents (he taught at Harvard Law School), and from what I've seen, one of the more trustworthy. And I can tell you first-hand from talking with him that Udonis considers Jason part of his family. Udonis went from being undrafted and playing overseas to a 30 plus million dollar deal in less than 2 years. I can remember Udonis wanted to go back overseas and Jason encouraged him to go after the NBA one more time. I think where he is now speaks for itself.

Levien is smart though - he develops good relationships in the industry (e.g., David Thorpe, draft websites) and gets good articles written about him. Why did he leave that law firm he was at? Why did Haslem leave him? But, then again, he did a good job with K Mart. If I had any b-ball skills, I'd hire Dynasty before even talking with Levien.
