A link at True Hoop earlier today brought attention to agent/author Keith Glass’ most recent musings regarding troubled NYC playground legend Lloyd Daniels (above).
I presumed, without taking a peak at the leak, that perhaps Glass had granted an interview about his experiences with Swee’ Pea. Or perhaps, he’d published another book.
As it turns out, I was right and wrong on both counts. Glass would like sell you a 10 page PDF trip-down-memory lane with he and the enigmatic Daniels. Though I’m sure it’s pure coincidence that Glass is charging for digital content the same day the New York Times took down their pay wall, I have no problem with this scheme. I mean, at least he’s not selling ad space to Vitamin Water.
Every now and then I have a sneaking suspicion that something might occur in the WNBA (other than, y’know, “Juwanna Mann”) that will make me regret ignoring the league. This incident probably wasn’t it, but it’s gonna happen, sooner or later.

when did it become newsworthy when bill laimbeer makes a woman cry?
You make an interesting comment about Keith “selling” his piece on Lloyd Daniels. It happens to be Amazon.com that’s selling it, at the ridiculously low price of 49 cents for a download. It’s a long story, but the short of it is that it’s supposed to ultimately help sell Keith’s book on Amazon. How do I know this? I’m his editor and I helped set up the Amazon Short. Maybe if you’re a Lloyd Daniels expert there’s nothing much there, but if you’re not, it’s kind of fascinating. Well, at least that’s my opinion. It’s just some anecdotes about Keith’s strange experience representing Daniels, who is kind of an odd guy, to put it mildly. I happen to like Keith personally as well as professionally, and I think his take on the state of the game (not just the NBA, but worldwide) is an informed and interesting one, and he allows outsiders, like myself (and most readers) entre into a fairly closed world.
you’re very welcome for the plug, Doug.
I think it’s just a tad pedantic to get into who is selling the PDF — Keith or Amazon. OK, you’re the publisher, Amazon is the vendor, Keith is the author.
I have no problem with Mr. Glass being compensated for uh, spilling the beans on what it was like to work with a former client. I believe I said as much above. And I agree, 49 cents is very little money to charge for such a thing. In fact, without having read the chapter, I’m gonna guess this digital download is worth at least 60 cents.
