Novel TAA Claim Played Role In Agency's Suit Against Athlete
Jimmy Butler is what basketball junkies like to call a "two-way player." The Miami Heat star has made three NBA All-Defensive Teams during his career but still has enough shot-making skill to warrant the nickname "Jimmy Buckets." As the once aspiring sportscaster in me might say, he makes his presence felt on both ends of the court.
So it's only appropriate that when Butler's former sports agency Independent Sports & Entertainment (ISE) sued him last year seeking a portion of the proceeds from a $5 million Nike endorsement contract, Butler's lawyer, Mathew S. Rosengart at Greenberg Traurig's Los Angeles office, didn't just stick to playing defense.
ISE sued Butler for breach of contract in Los Angeles Superior Court asking for about $1 million in commissions under the terms of a marketing agreement with the hoopster in what looked like a garden variety dispute on its face. Independent Sports & Entertainment LLC v. Butler, 20SMCV0045.
