The Rush: The Zion era set to begin tonight at the NBA Draft

Tonight is the NBA Draft in New York City and the Pelicans are likely to select Zion Williamson first overall, something the entire basketball world has been since he was dunking as a 15 year old. The Buffalo Bills are looking for a couple who wants to get married during halftime of their game against the New England Patriots. Finally, ex-MLB player and currently unstable individual Lenny Dykstra provides us with the best, strangest sentence in sports reporting history. And Jared has lots to say about i




On the eve of the NBA draft, probable No. 1 overall pick Zion Williamson got some unfortunate news. Williamson is being sued for $100 million by a marketing company that says Williamson broke his contract, according to the Associated Press.
This continues a back and forth between Williamson, Creative Artists Agency (CAA) and Prime Sports Marketing LLC. Shortly after Williamson declared for the NBA draft, he signed a marketing deal with Prime Sports. Williamson was supposed to remain with the company for five years. Instead, he left the company less than a month later to sign with CAA.

Prime Sports threatened to sue, prompting Williamson to take action first. The 18-year-old Williamson sued Prime Sports, arguing its contract was unlawful in North Carolina.
In response to that lawsuit, Prime Sports filed a suit against Williamson and CAA for $100 million. Prime Sports is arguing Williamson broke his contract, and that CAA interfered in the process.
Williamson, who starred at Duke, is expected to be picked No. 1 overall by the New Orleans Pelicans on Thursday.
Given the hype surrounding Williamson — Popeyes is selling an 82-inch box of food to celebrate Williamson being drafted — there’s a lot of money at stake for whatever firm ends up with his marketing rights.

It was an illegal contract. Violated the North Carolina Uniform Athelete Agent Act, of which Prime is not a registered agent in either NC or FLA. Cant be held liable for a contract when said contract was in violations of more than one Act. Im sure Prime will be getting their ass handed to them in court with a counter suit that should put them into bankruptcy.
