Direct Sportslink secured 5X NBA Champion (Bulls and Lakers) Ron Harper for his public and private autograph session at the National Sports Collectors Convention. Ron was a delight as always - signing autographs and taking photos with fans. Ron's appearance is always a special one - his time playing with Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant are unique in that he was the only player to win NBA Championships with both Michael and Kobe.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL

Arrow

Direct Sportslink really helped us out of a jam. Our speaker for an awards banquet cancelled at the last minute. Our theme for the banquet was basketball so not only were we in need of a replacement but the sports speaker needed to be in the professional basketball field. Direct Sportslink saved us - not only did they come through with a well-known basketball player, but they gave us several options. Our employees couldn't stop raving about Muggsy Bogues. Direct Sportslink made it easy to do business at the last minute. Their professionalism and willingness to help us during a pinch is invaluable. We won't hesitate to do business with them again.
