Higher power than I coming to Duffy's defense

At the General Counsels Forum at the Sports Lawyers Association annual conference (which I attended) Joel Litvin, NBA's President, League and Basketball Operations, spoke favorably about Bill Duffy in light of the current allegations that Duffy and his firm provided illegal benefits to O.J. Mayo.

While not commenting on the O.J. Mayo situation, Litvin said:

"I do know Bill Duffy has been an honest and effective deal maker. In our experience, Bill is as far from a sleazy agent as they come."
