PREMIER SPORTS & ENTERTAINMENT LAUNCHES NBA PARTNERSHIP

Los Angeles, CA - January 4, 2012 - Premier Basketball, LLC and its principals, Gennaro Bizzarro and Gregory Nunn, have partnered with established sports agency Premier Sports & Entertainment and its principals, Gary Uberstine and Eric Kaufman, to launch a professional basketball personal representation practice. Headquartered in Los Angeles, with offices also in Connecticut, the venture adds current NBA players Jordan Hamilton (2011 first round draft pick of the Denver Nuggets), Vernon Macklin (2011 second round pick of the Detroit Pistons), and Gary Forbes (Toronto Raptors) to PS&E's roster of NFL clients and coaches, giving PS&E first round draft picks in both the 2011 NFL and NBA Drafts. 

With more than 20 years in the business, and currently representing approximately 25 active NFL players, PS&E has extensive basketball representation experience dating back to its work with superstars such as Shaquille O'Neal, Hakeem Olajuwon, Wayman Tisdale, and Lisa Leslie, among others. Premier intends to grow its new basketball practice with the same focus of providing an intimate and comprehensive personal service to a select clientele, along with the dedication of resources and experience of the larger firms. 

According to Eric Kaufman, "In Greg and Gennaro, we found partners who are committed to the same ideals and vision of a successful representation practice. They have demonstrated a high degree of professional achievement, and are committed to building a vibrant basketball representation business, while subscribing to the same principles of commitment to personal service and excellence. We look forward to making a significant impact in the basketball community."

 "We're thrilled to partner with Premier Sports & Entertainment," said Greg Nunn. "Between our relationships and knowledge of basketball and PS&E's diverse background and experience, we've compiled a team that's unparalleled in the industry." "What Gary and Eric have assembled, from top to bottom, is hard to replicate," adds Gennaro. "PS&E is a first rate organization with top notch people and an impressive client base, so it was a natural fit for us."

Bizzarro and Nunn will be joined by Eve Sarkisyan, who will serve as Director of Marketing and Public Relations, and Joshua Reese, who will serve as Executive Assistant for the company's International operations.
