Man this guy knows how to do business for himself doesn’t he? From being Arn Tellem, agent to some of the NBA’s best players, to vice president of Palace Sports & Entertainment, to potential part-owner of the Detroit Pistons. It’s nearly a reality.
According to the Detroit Free Press, Tellem has been planning for this and wants to be part-owner by years end.
“I’m coming here to make a difference,” Tellem said of his move from Los Angeles, where he was a star with Wasserman Media Group, a sporting and entertainment marketing outfit. “If it was just limited to basketball, it would not be enough of a motivation to come and do it, but to have an involvement from an ownership level in basketball and the business and the community and see where we can make a difference and contribute to what’s going on here in Detroit and Michigan” is what convinced him.
“That was part of the plan when I came in,” Tellem said. “My hope is now that by the end of the year, we’re going to hopefully have a piece of the action. Tom’s desire is to have this team long-term for him and his family and to really accomplish a lot here — not only winning basketball games, but to make a difference in the community here.“
You got to admire the ambition this guy has at the age of 61, I mean some people at that age just mail it in and settle, but oh not Mr Tellem, this boy left a comfy position in WMG and got stuck in, props to you Arn.
