Steve's Bio Steve Banks is the Founder and President of Banks Sports Ventures., a sports management company which represents and guides the careers of professional athletes. Prior to re-establishing BSV, he served as CEO of ShotTek Inc., a sports technology wearables company and the creators of Peace Shooter, the world's first smart shot trainer (or real-time-feedback shot trainer) for basketball players. As a consultant with ShotTek, “I saw the long-term goal and the vision of Larry Peterson, Founder and President of ShotTek”. Having served in several roles as Steve's professional career has continued to evolve, Eli Lilly was a welcomed break from the hustle and bustle of the sports world. Steve worked for Eli Lilly in the Diabetes Unit facilitating presentations for Endocrinologist's, Primary Care Physicians, and clinic staff, bringing awareness to all of the benefits our diabetic medications provide. In 2015 while working at New York Life his first child was born, in which the decision was made to take a couple of years off after a two-year stint as a Life Insurance Executive. “My time there was an amazing ride, having been recognized as the Top Performer in the African American Unit, 2014 “Rookie of the Year”, and the culmination of it all was receiving the Ben Feldman “Life Excellence Award” which is considered the Heisman Trophy of the life insurance industry.” Before joining New York Life, Steve was a successful sports agent having worked with the likes of Gary Payton, Rodney Stuckey, Kevin Durant, Jamal Crawford, Dwight Howard, DeMar DeRozan, and Isaiah Thomas to name a few. His main reason for wanting to be in the Sports Management industry was he saw a need that was not being met by most agents, and that was a lack of education & empowerment of African American athletes. In representing athletes, it was important for Steve to make an IMPACT off the court. If you were to speak with any of the athletes that he's worked with, they would tell you that Steve always promoted LEGACY and using your platform to create an eco-system of business minded individuals!!! “Legacy is powerful, and more often than not, it is easily overlooked and as a sports agent, I have an obligation to look out for not only their best-interest, but also their families.” In life, sometimes there is a higher calling, and I was always taught that when called upon, you must be obedient. As a sports agent, it was hard to be in a world where you often need to keep your inner circle small, not knowing who was looking out for you, so I made the decision to walk away. The beauty of this story is that Steve Banks is back where he belongs and will make an IMPACT in the lives of the athletes that have a desire to be great. “Being able to incorporate my values, standards, morals into my work are what truly drives me to lead.” In his free time, Steve serves on the Board of Trustee's for The Bush School. He volunteers with members of his fraternity – Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Incorporated. Steve also serves on the board of Baseball Beyond Borders, a non-profit organization that uses baseball as a platform to engage inner-city youth, while developing a passion for education and developing life skills. As a Black man, it is critical that he dedicates time to mentoring and supporting the upcoming generation of young people. Steve received his Bachelor of Science from Eastern Oregon University, where he was a student athlete. He is also a graduate of Georgetown University where he received his Masters of Sports Industry Management. Steve, his wife Maryjane and their two sons live in the Central District area of Seattle.

This is the one thing I will share with entrepreneurs. Don't be so fixated on the product, as you're thinking about if you want to be an entrepreneur, if you want to step out of your comfort zone. The one thing that I've learned is that people often times get fixated on the product. What I've learned traditionally is that people invest in people, right? The product okay, that I get it. But I want to know about you.

"Bouffonnerie. C'est de la bouffonnerie. Vous tous, vous savez ce que cela signifie ?" C'est avec ces mots que Tayshaun Prince a qualifier la décision de son coach John Kuester de ne pas laisser une seule minute à Rip Hamilton lors d'un match contre les Memphis Grizzlies le 12 janvier 2011. Mais comment cette équipe des Pistons championne en 2004 en est-elle arrivé là ? C'est le programme de cette nouvelle Chronique de Motor City, rétrospective de la saison 2011 des Detroit Pistons. Peu de gens se rappellent la fin de cette période. On sait qu'après minimum 6 Finales de Conférence, les Pistons ont perdu au premier tour en 2009, puis ont raté les les playoffs lors des 2 saisons suivantes en 2010 et en 2011. Mais ces échecs sont plutôt attribué au trade d'Iverson ou aux recrutements de Ben Gordon et Charlie Villanueva. Pourtant la saison 2011 des Pistons a été la vraie fin de cette Goin To Work Era. Avec le recrutement de John Kuester comme coach, la zizanie est apparue dans le vestiaire : remise en cause des choix de l'entraineur, vétérans qui contrôlent les plus jeunes, critiques ouvertes dans la presse... Les Pistons de cette époque ont fait parler d'eux pour de très mauvaises raisons. Le point d'orgue de cette saison sera la mutinerie de février 2011, quand 7 joueurs des Pistons ne se présenteront pas au shootaround du matin alors que l'équipe doit affronter les 76ers le soir même. Ces joueurs (Rip Hamilton, Tayshaun Prince, Ben Wallace, Rodney Stuckey, Tracy McGrady, Chris Wilcox et Austin Daye) monteront une vraie grève contre leur coach... Pour aller plus loin : Pistons season in review: It would have been difficult to miss all the 'buffoonery' Pistons' Revolt Embarrassing To Team, City Pistons coach John Kuester can't survive much longer with team in constant turmoil John Kuester talks Pistons stint "Les Chroniques de Motor City", c'est votre podcast dédié à l'Histoire et à la Culture des Detroit Pistons.

Pour la Chronique de Motor City du jour, nous allons parler de la relation d'Allen Iverson avec les Detroit Pistons. Et si j'ai choisi de parler d'Iverson, malgré ses seuls 54 matchs sous le maillot de Detroit en 2008-2009, c'est parce que le MVP 2001 possède une caractéristique que très peu de joueurs de Detroit ont eu : il est l'une des rares stars NBA à avoir atterrie dans la Motown en tant que basketteur établi. Prenez Bob Lanier, Isiah Thomas, Grant Hill, Ben Wallace ou Chauncey Billups, soit les plus grands joueurs de l'Histoire des Pistons. Et bien soit ils ont été draftés par Detroit, soit ils sont devenus de grands joueurs grâce à leur parcours. C'est un fait, les stars ne viennent pas à Detroit, ni via la free-agency, ni par les trades. En ce sens, la venue d'Iverson, tradé par les Nuggets en 2008, fait figure d'exception. Mais si ce podcast a été titré "rendez-vous manqués" au pluriel, c'est qu'il y a une histoire qui est moins connue et qui a failli emmener Allen Iverson à Detroit en 2000, bien avant son vrai passage en 2008, à l'époque où The Answer n'était pas encore MVP. A l'époque, Iverson jouait toujours à Philadelphie et son caractère compliqué était venu à bout de son coach Larry Brown. Les Sixers étaient donc résolus à l'échanger et un trade XXL avait été mis en place avec 6 équipes et 24 joueurs dont Jerry Stackhouse, Eddie Jones, Glen Rice, Anthony Mason... Ce trade n'ira jamais à son terme mais on essayera dans ce podcast d'imaginer le destin des Pistons si jamais Iverson avait débarqué en 2000. Et puis le 2eme rendez-vous manqué des Pistons avec Allen Iverson se fera réellement en 2008. A 32 ans, Iverson arrivera sans doute un peu trop tard dans une équipe en bout de course, qui sortait de 6 qualifications minimum en Finales de Conférence mais qui s'apprêtait à commencer une traversée du désert. Quand Iverson débarque dans cette équipe dirigée par le head coach rookie Michael Curry, les Pistons sont déjà en reconstruction avec Rodney Stuckey qui devra se faire une place dans le backcourt au coté de Rip Hamilton et donc d'Allen Iverson. Cet embouteillage occasionnera plusieurs conflits et des mises sur le banc successives de Rip, puis d'Iverson. Dans ce climat de méfiance, l'aventure d'AI chez les Pistons ne pouvait pas bien se passer. Dans cet épisode des Chroniques de Motor City, nous revenons donc sur ces deux épisodes : en 2000 avec le trade avorté d'Iverson à Detroit, qui aurait changé tout le destin de la franchise et qui nous aurait privé de la Goin To Work Era en 2008, avec l'arrivée d'Iverson contre Billups, un mouvement qui confirmera la mauvaise gestion de la franchise à cette époque et qui fera d'Iverson le bouc émissaire idéal.

The Pacers were far more exciting off the court on Wednesday than on after a bad schedule loss in Memphis. The worn out Pacers had little to offer the Grizz on the back-to-back and now cling to the eighth and final playoff spot in the East. BUT, during the day, Rodney Stuckey was released and reports of Lance Stephenson agreeing to join the Pacers quickly followed. Can Lance give the Pacers the jolt of energy they need to get back on track for the playoffs? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
After falling behind 18-2 in the first quarter, the Pacers show a combination of mental and physical toughness to work their way back into the game thanks to a burst of energy from Monta Ellis and Rodney Stuckey off the bench. The Pacers then hung on to a fourth quarter lead down the stretch, making enough plays and free throws, including a huge three-pointer by C.J. Miles, to secure the win.
