TitlePresident and CEO

Robert Todd Pelinka, Jr.[1][2] (born December 23, 1969) is an American lawyer, sports agent and former college basketball player from Template:City-state (suburban Chicago).[3] As a sports agent he is best known as NBA MVP Kobe Bryant's agent and President and CEO of The Landmark Sports Agency, LLC. He is the agent for the seventh overall selection in the 2008 NBA Draft, Eric Gordon.[4][5] He has also been the agent for NBA All-Star Carlos Boozer, which has been controversial.

As a basketball player he is former high school All-American. As a junior he led Lake Forest High School to its first conference championship. As a senior, he was overlooked by many scouts and recruiters at the Division I-level entering his senior season, but his MVP performance in a four-game tournament where he made all 42 of his free throws and impressive senior season statistics propelled him to a highly recruited status. He was selected to several regional all-star lists and to play on several regional all-star teams as a senior.

He eventually went to the University of Michigan where he has the distinction of having been a member of three NCAA Final Four entrants: the 1988–89 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Champion University of Michigan Wolverines as well as both the 1991–92 and the 1992–93 national championship runners up that were best remembered as the Fab Five teams. Pelinka holds a Juris Doctor from the University of Michigan Law School and B.B.A. Business degree (BUS: BBA 1993) from the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. Pelinka was also named the 1993 NCAA Male Walter Byers Scholar Athlete of the Year.[6]

Basketball player

High school

Pelinka is the son of a Robert Todd Pelinka, Sr., a former high school basketball coach who taught him the fundamentals of basketball.[1] He became a high school All-American basketball player at Lake Forest High School.[3] By the time he was a junior teammate of long-time Chicago Bears quarterback Bobby Douglass' stepson Bill, he was regarded as one of the best shooters in the Chicago area.[7][8] As a 6 ft 3.5 in (1.92 m) junior, he led Lake Forest to their first conference championship as an all-conference guard.[9][10] However, the team lost in the first round of postseason play in 1987.[11]

By his senior season, he was listed at 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m), and moved to the point guard position from the shooting guard position in the absence of Douglass, who had graduated and who would become a Big Ten opponent as Wisconsin Badgers men's basketball starting point guard.[12][1] As a senior, Pelinka was a preseason selection by the Chicago Sun-Times as one of the top 50 Chicago metropolitan area high school basketball players and top five North Suburban players.[13][14] However, he was not a national preseason top 500 pick by Street & Smith's basketball magazine, which may have been due to the fact that his senior season marked the first season that the three point shot was adopted by state high school associations and Pelinka was mainly a shooter.[15] Nonetheless, scouts who questioned his true height and dribbling, doubted whether he was talented enough to play for either of his targeted colleges (Michigan and Notre Dame) even in late December of his senior year despite his having had multiple 30-point efforts already.[16]

During the four-game December 1987 Elgin tournament, in which he was named MVP, he made all 41 of his free throws and recorded 139 points including 45 in one game.[17][18] Pelinka's free throw streak ended at 45,[19] but later recounts showed he had 42 free throws in the tournament and 46 consecutive overall, which ranked fourth in Illinois high school basketball history at the time of his graduation.[20] After his tournament performance, Pelinka responded through the press to a scout who felt he might be limited to Division II basketball programs like The College of William & Mary that since he was able to score 45 points against a player committed to play for Depaul Blue Deamons men's basketball, he could succeed at the Division I-level.[21] He had only been recruited by William & Mary, United States Naval Academy, University of Wisconsin-Green Bay and Ivy League schools prior to his tournament performance. Afterwards, at least three Big Ten Conference schools showed interest (Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin), although no scouts were allowed to attend any games before February 8.[22]

By the beginning of February of his senior year, he was listed as one of the top ten Illinois Class AA (the larger school class)[23] basketball players in Illinois by Illinois High School Basketball magazine.[24] By the time of the scouting deadline of February 8, which enabled college scouts to attend his games, Pelinka was averaging 30 points and 10 rebounds per game and Illinois, Michigan, Notre Dame and North Carolina were interested in him.[25] Even previously doubtful scout Kaplan noted that of the players who waited until the April signing period instead of signing in November, Pelinka was one of the best in the Chicago area.[26][27] Pelinka was named to the post-(regular) season All-Chicago area top 20 players by the Chicago Sun-Times.[28][29] He was named among the 20 Class AA All-state players in a class that included Eric Anderson, LaPhonso Ellis, Acie Earl, and Deon Thomas.[30] In addition to various all-star lists, Pelinka was selected to play for various regional all-star teams.[31][32][33][34][35] Pelinka's final decision came down to a choice between Illinois and Michigan.[36][37] Pelinka chose Michigan because of its academically strong law school and business school.[38][39] After selecting Michigan, he had memorable performances in his regional all-star games, including a 27 point performance in the annual City-Suburban all-star game.[40][41][42]

College

As a guard, he became the first athlete to reach three NCAA Tournaments Final Four during his Michigan Wolverines career.[43] He played in the 1988–89, 1990–91, 1991–92, and 1992–93 seasons, and the team reached the championship game of the final four in all of those season except 1990–91. As a true freshman member of the 1988–89 National Champions, his teammates included Glen Rice, Terry Mills, Loy Vaught, Rumeal Robinson, Sean Higgins, and Demetrius Calip. As a redshirt member of the 1991–92, and 1992–93 national runners up his teammates included Chris Webber, Juwan Howard, Jalen Rose, Jimmy King, Ray Jackson (the Fab Five), and Eric Riley. He was one of several upperclassmen on the Fab Five teams and served as co-captain of the 1992–93 team.[44][45]

During his freshman season, Michigan was picked by many to win the Big Ten Conference and was the preseason number one ranked team in the nation according to some polls.[46] Pelinka's only start of the season came in the December 121988 game against Holy Cross University. This game followed the team's first loss of the season, which had come against Division II University of Alaska-Anchorage after an 11–0 start and after which coach Bill Frieder benched three starters.[47] Pelinka posted his season highs in points (8), rebounds (5) and minutes (18) in this game.[48] During a practice, Pelinka was knocked unconscious and lost two teeth.[49] As the team entered the March stretch run Pelinka and Calip were the only reserve guards backing up Robinson and Higgins.[46] The team went on to win the 1989 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.[50] Pelinka then redshirted the 1989–90 season due to a knee injury.[43]

During his redshirt sophomore season, he was not called on to take many important shots. He did have an opportunity to take a 20-foot shot with five seconds left in what turned out to be a 76–74 loss to the Texas Longhorns men's basketball team on December 291990. He missed the shot.[51] In this game, he played a season-high twenty-eight minutes in his only start of the season.[52] The team finished with at 14–15 overall (7–11 Big Ten) record and did not compete in postseason play.

During his redshirt junior year, he was joined at Michigan by the Fab Five, who were all true freshmen.[53] He was injured for part of the season.[54] However, after sitting out the first half he scored the overtime opening three point shot and made three of four overtime free throws in a January 291992 89–79 road victory against the Michigan State Spartans men's basketball team at the Breslin Center.[55][56] Pelinka also contributed his season-high nineteen minutes and a second-half career-high eleven points (eclipsed in his senior season) in a March 111992 70–61 victory against the Purdue Boilermakers men's basketball team at the Mackey Arena.[57][58] The team lost in the final game of the 1992 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.[59]

As a 6 ft 6 in (1.98 m) 200-pound (91 kg) fifth-year senior,[60] Pelinka started back-to-back games twice during the season. Early in the season, he started in place of the injured Jackson, but came down with the flu after two starts against the Kansas Jayhawks and Eastern Michigan Eagles men's basketball teams on December 301992 and January 21993 respectively.[61][62][63] During his other set of back-to-back starts against Ohio State and Iowa on January 26 and January 311993 Pelinka started even though Jackson played.[64][65] Pelinka set several season- and career-highs, including points (16), in the 72–62 home victory over Ohio State.[66] Pelinka was an important role player for the team who drew the most charges on the team and contributed important defensive minutes as the sixth man.[67][43] During the 1992–93 season, he led all reserves in minutes and assists and was second in points and rebounds. During the Final Four weekend in Template:City-state, Chris Webber slept with Pelinka's 1989 Championship ring under his pillow.[68] Nonetheless, the team lost in the final game of the 1993 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament.[69]

Education

At Lake Forest High School, Pelinka became a starting basketball player as a junior during the 1986–87 season.[25] College basketball regulations allow for two periods in which high school basketball players can make commitments to accept athletic scholarships. The first period is in November and the second period is in April. As a result of his junior season athletic and academic performances he was recruited during the first period by William & Mary, Navy, Wisconsin-Green Bay and Ivy League schools. The schools with traditionally stronger basketball programs largely ignored Pelinka to his dismay. His father sent out profiles to newspapers and colleges, and Pelinka decided to wait for the second off-campus recruiting and signing period.[25] As his senior season progressed, top Division I basketball programs began to scout him for athletic scholarship offers. Immediately after his MVP basketball tournament performance in early January, Illinois, Minnesota and Wisconsin became interested in recruiting him.[22] The off-campus recruiting for the April signing period began on February 8. As the season progressed and Pelinka compiled all-star basketball statistics, the list of top basketball programs increased with schools such as Illinois, Michigan, Notre Dame and North Carolina expressing interest in him by the time of the off-campus recruiting season.[25] Pelinka hoped he would be able to sign with a Big Ten school.[25] When Pelinka made his final decision in April 1988, he chose Michigan over Illinois.[38]

Pelinka entered the Bachelor of Business Administration program at the School of Business Administration where he accumulated a 3.9/4.0 grade point average.[70] In January 2003, Pelinka announced he was accepted to the University of Michigan Law School and the Northwestern University School of Law and stated that he hoped to become a professional sports agent after his athletic and academic careers were complete.[71] After winning the West Regional Final, Pelinka flew to Template:City-state for a final interview for the Walter Byers Scholarship.[72] During the week before the Final Four, Pelinka was honored with the 1993 Walter Byers Scholar as the NCAA's top male scholar athlete.[43][70] In addition to winning the Byers Award, Pelinka earned a variety of other scholar athlete awards.[73][74]

Pelinka chose to attend Michigan Law School immediately after graduating from his undergraduate program and became a top law school student. During his first year of law school, several of his former teammates appeared in Blue Chips: Billy Douglas (Lake Forest), Eric Anderson (Chicago All-star), and Demitrius Calip (Michigan).[75] During his second year in law school, he be came the home game color analyst for Wolverines basketball play-by-play announcer Chuck Swirsky on a 16-station broadcast network that originated from a WJR-AM.[76] He interened for Winston & Strawn LLP while in law school.[76] Pelinka earned his Juris Doctor Cum Laude.

Professional career

After passing the Illinois bar examination and receiving his license to practice in 1996,[2] Pelinka joined Mayer Brown.[3] Eventually, Arn Tellum convinced Pelinka to become a lawyer for SFX management,[3] and Pelinka eventually became an agent for SFX. While with SFX, he worked with Tellem who represented Eddy Curry, Jr., Kwame Brown, Kobe Bryant and Tracy McGrady, all of whom went directly from high school to the National Basketball Association.[77] Pelinka had become Bryant's agent by the time of the Kobe Bryant sexual assault case.[78] While at SFX, he also became the agent for several of his current clients.[79][80][81]

He then branched out on his own and founded The Landmark Sports Agency. He currently represents 13 active NBA players (2 All-Stars).[82] The current players represented by Pelinka are (alphabetically) Carlos Boozer, Kobe Bryant, Keyon Dooling, Derek Fisher, Channing Frye, Eric Gordon, Andre Iguodala, Chris Kaman, Corey Maggette, Morris Peterson, Saša Vujačić, Gerald Wallace, and Julian Wright.[4] A Template:City-state resident, Pelinka represents three Los Angeles Lakers (Bryant, Derek Fisher and Saša Vujačić) and three Los Angeles Clippers (Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman, and Corey Maggette). Pelinka also represents two players who played high school basketball in the Chicago area (Corey Maggette, and Julian Wright) and Igoudala had been an Illinois Class AA standout in high school like Pelinka.[83] He has represented several Arizona Wildcats players including Andre Iguodala and Channing Frye.[84][85] The 11 players he represented during the 2007–08 NBA season earned a total of $76,163,730. Neither Maggette nor Dooling was signed for the 2008–09 NBA season at the end of the 2008 season.[4] Gordon was drafted seventh overall in the 2008 NBA Draft.[5]

Kobe Bryant

Pelinka is well-known as Los Angeles Lakers All-Star guard Kobe Bryant's agent. During the 2003 sexual assault case against Bryant, Pelinka spent a considerable amount of time with his client. He accompanied him on trips to Eagle, Colorado.[86] It was Pelinka who confirmed the news of Bryant's second child.[87] In 2004, when Bryant was a free agent, Pelinka confirmed Bryant would remain in Los Angeles with either the Lakers or the Los Angeles Clippers while rumors were flying that he was going to sign with the Chicago Bulls.[88] Subsequently, when Rudy Tomjanovich was hired to be the Lakers' head coach, he sent free agent Bryant and Pelinka a video package describing the things he has done for players at Bryant's position.[89] A few days later Pelinka negotiated a contract for Bryant to remain with the Lakers for $136.4 million over seven years.[90] When Bryant demanded to be traded during the 2007 offseason, Pelinka confirmed that "Kobe would like to be moved."[91]

Carlos Boozer

Rob Pelinka was involved in a complex negotiation which led to both SFX resigning as the agency for Carlos Boozer and to Pelinka briefly resigning as his agent.[92] Pelinka currently represents Boozer as his agent. The issue involved discrepancies on an unconfirmed handshake agreement between Boozer and the Cavaliers owner Gordon Gund. Boozer at the time had a $700,000 option year remaining on his contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers.[92] Boozer had originally been signed to a two-year guaranteed contract for $989,000 with a team option for the third year.[84] However, his market value was much higher than that after two seasons in the NBA. Supposedly, Cleveland general manager Jim Paxson agreed not to exercise the team’s option in an effort to sign him to a long term six-year $41 million dollar contract. Once the team option expired, the Utah Jazz signed Boozer to a $68 million offer the Caveliers would not match because they were over the NBA Salary Cap.[92][84] Pelinka was attacked in the press for allowing his client to go to the highest bidder rather than forcing him to honor the unconfirmed handshake agreement. As a result, SFX dropped Boozer as a client,[92] and Pelinka left the firm.[93] A year later, after a short stint with another agent, Boozer re-hired Pelinka who has become President and CEO of his own sports agency, The Landmark Sports Agency, LLC.[94][95]

Eric Gordon

On April 7, 2008, Pelinka attended a press conference in Indianapolis, Indiana, where Eric Gordon, a freshman basketball player at Indiana University, announced his intentions of going pro.[96] Although Gordon was still officially shopping for an agent, he was seen sitting courtside at a Laker game.[97] Pelinka is now Gordon's agent.[4]

2008

Vujačić, a 2008 restricted free agent, left his old agent and hired Pelinka to be his new agent in July 2008.[98] Maggette signed on July 10 with the Los Angeles Clippers for $50 million over five years.[99] On July 21, Dooling was traded to the New Jersey Nets from the Orlando Magic in what was described as a sign and trade deal with no terms of the signing revealed.[100] Dooling's 2008–09 cap hold (salary cap allocation) with the Magic was $7,192,000.[101]

The Philadelphia 76ers have made Iguodala a qualifying offer of $3,800,625 for the 2008–09 season.[4] This gives the 76ers the right to match any superior offer sheet signed by Iguodala and gives Iguodala the right to play under the terms of the qualifying offer for one season in order to be an unrestricted free agent afterwards. In 2007, Igoudala rejected a $57 million contract extension.[102] Iguodala has a 2008–09 cap hold of $11,401,875.[103] Vujačić remains unsigned as of July 23, but the Lakers have made him a qualifying offer of $2,605,559, which gives them the right to match any superior offer sheet, and he has a 2008-09 cap hold of $7,816,677.[104][105] Gordon remains unsigned and has been withdrawn from NBA Summer League play with a strained left hamstring.[106] However, rookie first round draft picks are on a strict two-year pay scale with team options for the third and fourth year according to the collective bargaining agreement.
