You have read almost everything about the Euroleague Final Four, but basketball has also a business aspect. Just ask any agent and he will tell you. That’s why we asked and learned who were the agents representing the most players in the clash of the top teams of Europe and here is the list of them with ASM sports – You First Sports of Justin Zanik and Andy Miller leading the pack.
(ed.note: As we were officialy informed You First Sports and ASM agencies have merged and should be considered the same firm. In total they had seven cliens in the Final Four, but they don’t represent any longer Panathinaikos’ free agent Aleks Maric)
