Jimmer Signs with Octagon to Represent Him in the NBA

“People call me The Jimmer. I’m the best player in College Basketball. I know what you’re asking yourself and the answer is yes. I do have a agency to represent me in the NBA. Its called the Octagon.”

Wouldn’t you love it if Jimmer announced his pairing up with Octagon Sports like that?  Anchorman. One of the greatest movies of all-time.  It’s science.  We still want that sequel.

Anyways, Jimmer’s pairing with Octagon is big news.  Many agencies were pursuing Jimmer obviously.  Jimmer has a tv show in the works, and the name Jimmer is ingrained in the minds of all Americans everywhere.  Let’s face it he Jimmered Osama afterall.

Jimmer will be represented by Octagon’s Jeff Austin and Chris Emens, Yahoo! Sports is reporting.  It is not known the financial amount it cost Octagon to sign Jimmer.

The 2011 NBA Draft is on June 23rd.  The Draft Lottery is on May 17th.  NBADraft.net currently has Jimmer going in the Lottery at #11 to the Golden State Warriors.  Would be a good fit for Jimmer and he would be paired with another Octagon-client, Stephen Curry.

Other NBA athletes Octagon represents: Rudy Gay (Grizzlies), Wesley Mathews (Blazers), David West (Hornets), Kirk Hinrich (Hawks).

They also represent former BYU Basketball players Lee Cummard and Jonathan Tavernari who are currently playing overseas.
