Looks like that CAA deal is paying off for Paolo Banchero: he’s set to be the first college player to appear in NBA2K. Talk about name and image!
Obviously this couldn’t happen before this summer’s Supreme Court ruling and it may open the doors for many others. But it’s still kind of strange to think of a college player being part of an NBA game. On one level it just doesn’t make sense.
But on another? Why not? We’re in a bold new world.
Speaking of NIL stuff, UCLA’s Jaylen Clark is doing something perhaps more audacious: he’s starting his own crypto currency.
