From one Brandon to another, I catch up with Brandon Nix on the B.Nix podcast and talk about round three of the 2017 NBA Finals between the Golden State Warriors and the Cleveland Cavaliers. 

I also talk about the time I sat courtside with Rihanna.

Check out Brandon Nix of the “B.Nix Podcast” chatting with RESPECT Magazine’s Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson.

On Rihanna’s love for basketball, I told Brandon Nix

“You can sit and have a conversation with her about it and she knows what she is talking about. She’s a sweetheart, she doesn’t forget a face. But the thing about it is she talks just like a fan. She says four letter words just like anybody else she yells ‘Switch on D,’ do this, do that. Rihanna knows the game of basketball, that is one thing I can firmly say about her. She knows the game of basketball and she, I think there are so many parallels on the entertainment side of things, you know, be it sing or dancing and these sports side of things.There is a timing there is a knowledge using instincts to get things done and its entertaining a crowd there are so many parallels and she gets it.”

Following his teammate Victor Cruz, the North Carolina native becomes the 7th athlete to join the firm as the agency continues to grow since its inception in 2013. Other notable clients include Kevin Durant, Robinson Cano, C.C.Sabathia, and Skylar Diggins.

Nicks is currently a free agent and is probably hoping Mr. Carter‘s team will broker a deal that is even just a fraction of what was brokered for Cano.

Many doubted the agency’s ability to attract and manage contractual dealings of the firms’ signees, however, after a little less than a year into the venture the firm has seen nothing but growth.

Congratulations to Mr. Nicks, who is undoubtedly celebrating with a complimentary bottle of Ace of Spades–Mr. Carter and Co. know how to get you paid.

As the cold winter lurks gloomily on the proverbial horizon, less fortunate New Yorkers will be given at least some warmth from some of our City’s biggest names. Fabolous is teaming up with Yankees’ slugger and Mr. epitome of smooth, Robinson Cano, along with Giants running back Ahmad Bradshaw. Fab’s charity, A Faboulous Way Foundation, will provide outlets for donation at Dr. Jays retail stores around the city for people to drop off new or slightly used coats, hats, and scarves. The donations will then be provided to the New York Cares organization to help thousands of needy New Yorkers. Respect, Fab.
