[Jones thought about the day when he should have attended basketball practice after a high school game. But, Instead went to a strip club. He did so because he felt like his coach at the time was trying to make sure he did not show favoritism to the young kids.]272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPnyvfE9jC
[And as a result he swung completely in the total opposite direction. All he did was pick f--king splinters out of his ass on the bench! The only time that his number was called, happen when someone got hurt.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5rlGRR0R2I
So he went to a strip club with his buddies and they got into a fight with some local hood rats,272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXDO3mfYgOq
cuz, they hit on his girl.
After the incident, one of the dudes had to be transported to the hospital by ambulance.
He hope that particular incident would not come back to bite him in the ass later on in his career.]

Michael knows that Jones is a special player. He is also a loyal client. But when Eddie Mack, one of the most powerful sports agents in the world, comes knocking, Jones starts to waver.272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBwkkChr2D
Eddie offers Jones a lot of money and promises to make him a superstar. 272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZouRdiCsZ
He is tempted by Eddie's offer. But he is also kinda conflicted. He likes and trusts Michael, his longtime agent. He also knows that Michael has his best interests at heart.

Micheal says, "I'm glad I could help, Jones. And I'm confident that I can continue to help you in the future."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNKw4dyoJk
Eddie interjects, "I understand that you have a close, buddy type relationship with Michael. But I want you to think about what's best for your career. I can offer you more money, better and richer endorsements, and more opportunities than Michael can."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiKZ23n8jys
Jone's face is flush, "I know, Eddie. And that's a tempting offer. But I also need to consider my close relationship with Michael. He's more than just my agent. He's my friend."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡozd3poYq2A
Eddie isn't deterred, "I understand. But, listen, friendship doesn't always mix well with business."272Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDrKa16KaE
