Seeing a lot of film critics questioning the credibility of the film, my thoughts are this:
First, one of the two players in the film is the No. 1 pick of the year, and the other is the youth core of the team. Their influence is still very large in the United States. It is conceivable to imagine if Zion is selected by the Lone Ranger, and doncic pushes. There was a special war of words, and then had a one-on-one appointment. What kind of sensational effect would it be in the United States? How many people would be willing to pay to watch it, so it can’t be said that the rookie’s influence is lacking, not to mention that the film is set in New York. Basketball Mecca, basketball events have greater influence;
Second, the big 3 leagues have been established now, as well as the Drew League, the Rock Park game, etc. Imagine if these leagues recruited Curry, Harden, Durant, and signed them during the NBA shutdown For a two-month contract, NBA management will definitely feel pressure when negotiating.
Third, regarding the influence of the agent, in fact, the recent statement of the thick eyebrows has already explained the problem, as well as Leonard's uncle, and Qiu's father, etc. It is easy to ignore it when we watch the game, and then Good young players are actually just children in their early twenties, and most of them are street-born children who have only attended college for one year (and basically did not study well in college this year). In terms of capital, media, and people-to-people interactions, they must be confused and fearful in front of their bosses or brokers. Some people show this fear as cowardice, and some people show it as extreme ego. In the eyes of a professional over 40 years old, it is extremely easy to manipulate, not to mention those who have been in this circle for so many years, who is not a good person? Most of the bosses are more afraid of young players in the negotiation. It's still an agent, not a player, so it's not necessarily true that an agent doesn't have that much influence.
Of course, the film must be exaggerated, but in general, such a conception is not unfounded.
