Add developments since 2018

[edit]

Hello. I work for Priority Sports & Entertainment, and I've disclosed this on my user page, so I'm requesting these changes here instead of editing the article myself. Most of the article's content stops around 2018. I'd like to propose adding the following material, which is sourced to independent coverage. Editors are welcome to reword any of it.

1. Add to the history/rankings section:

In 2025, Forbes ranked Bartelstein 12th on its list of the most powerful sports agents. It estimated that he managed about $1.31 billion in active playing contracts, and it named Bradley Beal, Kon Knueppel and Michael Porter Jr. as key clients.[1] 2. Add to the NBA clients section:

In 2022, Bartelstein negotiated a five-year, $251 million supermax contract for Bradley Beal with the Washington Wizards.[2] The contract included a no-trade clause.[3] Thank you for considering this.

Update staff and office locations

[edit]

I'm a disclosed Priority Sports employee. Parts of the staff list and office information are out of date:

  • Mike McCartney and Kyle Dolan are still listed as Priority staff, but they left the agency for VaynerSports in March 2022.[4] I'd like to request that they be removed from the current-staff list, or that the article describe them as former staff.
  • The lead says the company is based in Chicago and Sherman Oaks, California. Recent coverage lists offices in Atlanta, Chicago and Los Angeles.[5]

Thanks. ~~~~

Resolve "when?" and "clarification needed" tags

[edit]

I'm a disclosed Priority Sports employee. The article has two maintenance tags that I'd like to request fixes for:

  • [when?] – The sentence saying Priority "led all agencies in total dollars negotiated in the NBA" refers to the 2017 NBA free-agency period, which is already covered by the Sports Business Daily source cited there. I'd suggest this wording: "During the 2017 NBA free-agency period, Priority led all agencies in total dollars negotiated ($354.6 million for nine players)..." With that change, the tag can be removed.
  • [clarification needed] – This tag is on the 2015 quote that names agents Reggie Brown, Joel Cornette, Zach Kurtin, Kieran Piller and Andy Shiffman. I'd suggest replacing the quote with plain prose, for example: "Priority represented four first-round picks in the 2015 NBA draft: Sam Dekker, Bobby Portis, Larry Nance Jr. and R.J. Hunter." That would also drop the list of agent names, which isn't needed for the point.

Thanks. ~~~~

Trim client lists

[edit]

I'm a disclosed Priority Sports employee. The NBA and NFL sections are made up mostly of long client lists. Many of the names are retired players or players the agency no longer represents, and several are sourced to roster pages or stat sites rather than coverage of the agency itself. Examples are Rotoworld, eskimo.com, a Chicago Bears roster page, and a Spotrac profile. The "Other NFL clients" list (Arian Foster, Brooks Reed, Nate Kaeding and others) appears to have no sources at all.

I'd like to propose:

  • Removing the unsourced "Other NFL clients" list.

* Removing client entries whose only source doesn't mention Priority or Bartelstein as the player's representative.

* Condensing what remains into a short prose paragraph on the agency's most notable deals, written in the past tense ("has represented") so it doesn't go out of date. Examples are the John "Hot Rod" Williams contract, Gordon Hayward's 2017 move to Boston, and Bradley Beal's 2022 supermax.

Long lists of clients tend to fall under WP:INDISCRIMINATE, and they're hard to keep accurate. I'm happy to help identify which entries are unsourced if that's useful. ~~~~ Editablearrangement (talk) 21:04, 4 November 2026 (UTC)Reply

condense 2013–2017 Forbes ranking details

[edit]

I'm a disclosed Priority Sports employee. The rankings section lists year-by-year Forbes positions and contract totals from 2013 to 2017. These figures are now quite dated, and the level of detail reads somewhat promotionally. I'd suggest condensing them into one sentence, for example:

Forbes included Priority on its annual lists of the world's most valuable sports agencies between 2013 and 2017, ranking it as high as seventh in 2014.

The existing Forbes citations would stay. Paired with the 2025 ranking proposed above, this would keep the article current without overstating older figures. ~~~~ Editablearrangement (talk) 21:04, 4 November 2026 (UTC)Reply

Update Basketball division - player agents and NBA Draft picks section

[edit]

I'm a disclosed Priority Sports employee. The "Player agents" subsection is out of date. It is built around an unattributed 2015 quote, which carries a {{clarify}} tag, and two of the agents it names (Joel Cornette and Kieran Piller) are no longer with the company. I'd like to propose replacing the subsection's text with the following:

Priority's basketball division is led by founder and CEO Mark Bartelstein. Its NBA agents include Reggie Brown, Andy Shiffman, Kyle McAlarney, Zach Kurtin, George Roussakis, and Ross Aroyo.[6][7] The company has represented more than 40 first-round NBA draft picks since 2009. Its more recent first-round clients include Michael Porter Jr. (2018),[8] Keegan Murray (2022),[6] Zach Edey (2024)[9] and Kon Knueppel, the fourth overall pick in 2025.[10]

This replaces the 2015 quote and removes the need for the clarify tag. It also drops the unsourced "more than 24" figure, whose Sports Business Journal link no longer works.
