Sixth Man of the Day: Isaiah Armwood

Here at the GSF, we love our 6’s.  But when we saw this baller jump over 7 guys, we couldn’t help but take notice: Congrats, Isaiah.  You’re our Sixth Man of the day.  And congrats to Villanova for nabbing this guy…we see another final four appearance in your future.

Team Night at Pau Gasol’s House

All year, we’ve marveled at the Lakers’ offensive prowess and ability to “will out” the tough games. We’ve been awed by the talent of Kobe Bryant, the clutch-shooting of Derek Fisher, and the defensive abilities of Trevor Ariza. We’ve even gotten used to seeing Phil Jackson sit in that obnoxiously tall chair on the bench. […]

Sir Charles & the Big Aristotle

Sir Charles & the Big Aristotle

Adding the Big Cactus to a roster of slashers including one of the best point guards in the league was supposed to firm up an otherwise porous Suns defense, giving them the muscle needed for a playoff push. But the experiment hasn’t gone as planned. Although Shaq’s numbers are an improvement over his ’06-’07 season […]

Just Be Me

Just Be Me

Isiah Jones seems to have everything working in his favor.  Let’s face it, As Z-man’s star client, the most popular kid in school, and the reigning AAU Player of the Year, there isn’t a lot that’s holding him back. He’s even taking Rihanna to the junior prom this year. So when adoring fans ask Isiah for tips, […]

Sir Charles calls D-Wade

Sir Charles calls D-Wade

By now, everyone’s seen the T-Mobile commercials starring Dwyane Wade and the ever-lovable Sir Charles. Their bickering back and forth has not only confirmed their close friendship, but also made us chuckle…sometimes. So while D-Wade continues to solidify himself as a franchise player and veritable MVP candidate, Sir Charles decided to pick up the phone […]

Sir Charles Calls the Commish

Sir Charles Calls the Commish

While he might not be a role model, Charles Barkley has a direct dial to just about anyone in the NBA…including Commisioner David Stern. So this past weekend, after drinking half a bottle of bourbon, Charles started thinking about the current state of the game.  And against his better judgment, he picked up the phone […]

“Did David Stern shit his pants again?” by Zachary “Z-man” Rubenstein

“Did David Stern shit his pants again?” by Zachary “Z-man” Rubenstein

The NBA trade deadline is approaching, and let me be the first to assess the activity so far: B-O-R-I-N-G. Whether it’s being forced to watch Ernie Johnson for hours on end, or the stench emanating from Commissioner Stern’s adult diapers, something about this time of year has never agreed with me. In the past I’ve […]

“Reggie Miller is a Skinny Bitch” by Darnell Goodman

Dear Reggie, How can someone have such a big mouth and still be so damn skinny? I never really liked you when you played – your freakishly huge Adam’s apple always bothered me – and let’s face it, you’re currently one of the worst NBA analysts in the business. But when you came down on […]

“With Malice Interviews D-Good” by Darnell Goodman

Normally, D-Good approaches the media with caution – they’re always out to get a brotha like me. But when I heard that the folks over at With Malice were interested in an interview, I couldn’t resist. First off, the site is one of the best basketball blogs out there. Second, they flew me to Japan […]

Don’t Blink

Don’t Blink

So when Isiah Jones asked for a meeting because he had a special request, Z-man didn’t hesitate to clear his schedule and promise the world to his star client. But that was before he knew that […]

“An Open Letter to Charles Barkley”  by Darnell Goodman

“An Open Letter to Charles Barkley” by Darnell Goodman

Dear Charles, You just love criticizing people, don’t you? Sitting up in your ivory tower at TNT, in between dominating the catered buffet and playing grab-ass with Ernie Johnson, you think you can tell everyone how to live their lives. First, you lambast Auburn University for their failure to hire an African-American as their head […]

The Star Client

The Star Client

In the world of sports agenting, even the littlest things can matter to a picky client. And for Z-man, when he’s dealing with Isiah Jones, negotiations over something as small as the socks he wears can get heated. But Z-man is a master of negotiation, and he knows exactly how to deal with a fat […]

One-on-One

One-on-One

Everyone hates the local bully…but there’s no one who knows how to handle him better than the one and only playground agent, Zachary “Z-man” Rubenstein.

“From One Superstar to Another” by Darnell Goodman

Dear Mark Cuban, You may not realize it, but you and I have a lot in common. We both have a garage full of luxury automobiles. We both get more pussy than we know what to do with. And with the insider trading charges, we’re both now poster-boys for the enforcement of the law. In […]

“Bill Duffy: The Greatest Salesman in the World” by Zachary Rubenstein

I know talent when I see it. Typically, I’m scouring the fields, the courts, and occasionally the cheerleader’s locker room. But today I want to recognize a different kind of talent: Bill Duffy, Greg Oden’s agent, closed a deal that seems more remarkable by the day. Despite the fact that Oden only played one year […]
