Noah Croom is a sports attorney who has the pleasure and privilege of going between NBA sports agencies and working with the NBA and its teams. He spoke about the biggest professional risk he ever took, which was leaving the NBA in 1995 to work for a team in Vancouver. Noah talks about his experience in negotiations and how he has managed to form successful partnerships with the teams he works with. He attributes his success to his strong relationships with team personnel and his refusal to accept the first offer. He also shares a practical example of a tough negotiation, when one of his former clients was arrested shortly before becoming a restricted free agent.
