Mark Termini

Mark Termini is a Cleveland, Ohio-based sports attorney and agent. His agency Mark Termini Associates Inc represents professional basketball players. He negotiated $1.4 billion in NBA contracts for the clients of the Klutch Sports Group from 2014 to 2019.
Background and education.
Termini graduated from Holy Name High School (1974) and Case Western Reserve University (1978). Both schools are located in Cleveland, Ohio. He then earned a J.D. degree cum laude from Cleveland State University Cleveland-Marshall College of Law in 1984.
Sports business career.
Termini founded the sports agency Mark Termini Associates Inc in 1986. His first three clients were Scott Roth, Brad Sellers, and Ron Harper, who all had Ohio basketball roots and then played in the NBA. The agency continued to grow by representing numerous professional players from Ohio.
After the Dallas Mavericks selected his client Jim Jackson with the fourth choice of the 1992 NBA Draft, Jackson held out for the first 54 games of the 1992-93 season. Termini then negotiated his six-year, $20 million contract, including a full salary for the 1992-93 season even though Jackson played only 28 games. At the time it marked the most lucrative contract ever for a rookie guard. There have been very few high-profile holdouts in NBA history since then.
Under Termini's guidance, Kevin Edwards signed a five-year, $9.6 million free agent contract with the New Jersey Nets following the 1992-93 season. Termini’s client Ron Harper, then with the Los Angeles Clippers, tied Michael Jordan for the fourth-highest NBA salary at $4 million in the 1993-94 season. Following that season, Harper signed a five-year $19.2 million deal with the Chicago Bulls. He played on three championship teams with the Bulls and two with the Los Angeles Lakers.
In August 1993, The Dallas Morning News included Termini in a group of the five most influential and high-profile NBA agents.
Termini represented Pau Gasol, a four-time NBA All-Star, when he played for the Memphis Grizzlies. Gasol left his agency in 2004 after Termini refused to reduce his contract negotiation fee. Other former clients include Gary Trent, Calvin Booth, and Earl Boykins.
In 2006, Termini helped his client Damon Jones become the first NBA player to sign an endorsement contract with Chinese shoe manufacturer Li Ning.
Crain’s Cleveland Business inducted Termini into its first 40 Under 40 class in 1991. The class was recognized again in 2011.
Termini has negotiated almost $2 billion in professional sports contracts. He has represented more than 30 selections in the NBA Draft, including former Ohio State star Kosta Koufos, who has been a Termini client for his entire career. Koufos currently plays for CSKA Moscow, which competes in the Euroleague, the top professional basketball league in Europe. The two-year, $6 million contract he signed in July 2019 made him the highest paid American player in Europe. Termini’s agency also represents players in foreign professional leagues.
In January 2013, Termini began working with agent Rich Paul of Klutch Sports Group. KSG represents NBA stars LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Draymond Green, John Wall, and Ben Simmons. Their client list also featured talented young players like Darius Garland, Malik Beasley, Montrezl Harrell, Miles Bridges, and Darius Bazley. As part of their working relationship, Termini ran the contract negotiations for Klutch Sports Group and all of its NBA clients. Paul sought the help of Termini for contract negotiations, his experience, and connections with NBA executives. Klutch already represented James when Termini joined the agency, but they soon began landing other elite NBA clients. Working together, Termini and Paul closed over $1.4 billion in NBA contracts.
Termini, who specialized in contract negotiation and construction, was a key figure in the free agency process that ultimately led to the return of LeBron James to the Cleveland Cavaliers in 2014. He developed a contract negotiation strategy prior to the 2014 NBA free agency signing period that led to James signing a two-year max contract with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Termini met with James, Paul, Maverick Carter (who handles James’ marketing), and Cavaliers Owner Dan Gilbert on July 6, 2014 to discuss a contract. Six days later, James announced he would return to Cleveland. The two-year deal gave James more flexibility and the potential for greater earnings. Robert Lanza, former NBA Players Association General Counsel, called Termini "one of the finest contract attorneys in the country" following the contract. By signing a shorter deal than the four year maximum contract, James was able to take advantage of the rising NBA salary cap two years later. This unprecedented “one plus one” strategy resulted in James receiving $19 million more over the course of his Cavs contract than he otherwise would have earned by signing a four-year max deal with Cleveland in 2014.
During the 2014 offseason, contract negotiations for Klutch Sports Group client Eric Bledsoe and the Phoenix Suns continued into September. A restricted free agent, Bledsoe finally signed a 5-year, $70 million deal on September 24.
Termini advised the new National Basketball Players Association leaders to formally warn the NBA about their teams using preemptive media comments to chill offers for restricted free agents. This resulted in the NBA sending a memo to its teams warning of potential exposure if they used this long-unchallenged tactic, and added a new clause in the 2017 NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement to enforce the new rule.
Just prior to the 2015-16 season, Termini and Paul negotiated a five-year, $82 million contract for restricted free agent Tristan Thompson. That deal made Thompson the sixth-highest-paid power forward in the NBA for the 2015-16 season In 2015, Termini also negotiated a four-year, $33 million free agent contract for his client Kosta Koufos with the Sacramento Kings, along with deals for several other Klutch clients including Cory Joseph (four years, $30 million with the Toronto Raptors). Four years later, in 2019, Joseph signed with the Sacramento Kings for three years, $37 million.
Termini represented his long-time friend Flip Saunders, who coached 17 seasons in the NBA and won 654 career games. Saunders died in 2015 at age 60 of Hodgkin's lymphoma. Cuyahoga Falls High School, where Saunders starred as a player, named its new gym “Flip Saunders Gymnasium”. Termini attended the January 2020 dedication ceremony.
Termini and Rich Paul collaborated on an endorsement contract that their client Ben Simmons signed with Nike on June 6, 2016. Simmons' five-year, guaranteed $20 million contract with Nike includes performance bonuses that could increase the value above $40 million. On June 23, 2016, Simmons became the first overall selection in the 2016 NBA Draft by the Philadelphia 76ers. After his third NBA season, Simmons signed a five-year max contract extension with the 76ers for $170 million in July 2019.
During the 2016 offseason, Termini and Paul negotiated a three-year, $100 million contract for LeBron James to stay with the Cleveland Cavaliers, which made him the highest paid player in the NBA for the first time in his career. They also finalized a four-year, $57 million deal for Klutch Sports Group client J.R. Smith just before the start of the 2016-17 season.
LeBron James opted out of his contract with the Cavaliers after the 2017-18 season. In July 2018, Klutch Sports announced that James signed a four-year, $153 million contact with the Los Angeles Lakers. Anthony Davis, one of the NBA’s elite big men, signed with Klutch in September 2018. In June 2019, Davis was traded from the New Orleans Pelicans to the Lakers, joining James to form a powerful combination.
In February 2019, Klutch added another elite star in Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green to its client roster. Green could have been a free agent after the 2019-20 season, but after discussing his future options in the marketplace with Termini and Paul, he signed a $100 million contract extension in August 2019.
In July 2019, United Talent Agency reached a deal with Klutch Sports Group to create a sports division led by Paul. United Talent Agency is one of Hollywood's top talent representation firms. Inc.com noted Termini’s contract expertise in a September 2019 article on Paul.
Dejounte Murray, a San Antonio Spurs point guard represented by Klutch, signed a four-year, $64 million extension in October 2019. Murray landed the deal despite missing the entire 2018-19 season with a torn ACL. Following the acclaimed ESPN broadcast of “The Last Dance” regarding the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls season, Sports Illustrated characterized the trade of Termini client Ron Harper as the demise of the Cavaliers during the Michael Jordan era. Harper noted his first contract negotiation with Cavaliers GM Wayne Embry may have played a role in his trade to the Los Angeles Clippers on November 15, 1989. Embry later wrote in his 2004 book that maybe he should have talked to agent Mark Termini.
During the 2020 NBA Coronavirus shutdown, the media highlighted Termini’s negotiation and structuring of numerous Klutch client contracts to receive over 90 percent of their 2019-20 season salary due by April 1, 2020. Most NBA players receive their salaries over 12 months, but many Klutch clients secured much more favorable payment terms on their contracts, including non-star players such as Darius Bazley, Trey Lyles, Miles Bridges, Darius Garland and Dejounte Murray. When Termini’s agreement with Klutch expired in 2020, RealGM noted some of the ground-breaking contracts Termini designed and negotiated during his tenure as the NBA negotiator for the Klutch Sports Group. In addition to contracts for LeBron James, they included deals for Eric Bledsoe, Tristan Thompson, and Ben Simmons.
Termini is often quoted in the media on issues related to sports economics and sports law. In 2011, Termini recognized the negative impact of the new NBA Collective Bargaining Agreement on the power of agents. More recently, he stated his opposition to the buyout maneuver used by NBA teams to land players for a discounted contract. Termini has written on these topics as well.
Athletic career.
A former basketball standout in high school and college, Termini scored 1,161 career points when he played for Case Western Reserve University from 1974 through 1978. He averaged 21.7 points per game his senior season. He also set records for career free throw percentage (85.4) and most assists in one season (106). Termini is a member of the Hall of Fame as a player at both Case Western Reserve University and Holy Name High School.
Personal.
A lifelong Clevelander, Termini and his wife Wendy currently reside in the Greater Cleveland area. Termini’s father Marlo was a long-time Cleveland area basketball coach. He is a member of the Greater Cleveland Sports Hall of Fame and the National Senior Softball Hall of Fame. He passed away in 2018 at age 92.

Tim Boyce

Tim Boyce is an American fashion and fitness model regarded as a male supermodel of the 1990s.
Boyce has worked with photographers Peter Lindbergh and Bettina Rheims in advertising campaigns for high fashion designers such as Giorgio Armani, Gianfranco Ferre and brands such as Levi's. He appeared on the covers of "Arena Homme +" and "L'Uomo Vogue" alongside a new generation of top male models of the 1990s, including Marcus Schenkenberg and Tyson Beckford, who attained celebrity status in the global fashion, movie, music, and media markets.
In 1995, "Out Magazine" featured Boyce on its cover, photographed by Guy Aroch. The "Out Magazine" cover story lead the "Los Angeles Times" to single out Boyce and other notable figures such as Gore Vidal and Candace Gingrich as out leaders contributing to the increasingly vibrant market of the gay press that was notable for changing the landscape of mainstream media in the 1990s.
Early life.
Boyce was born in San Francisco, California of Italian and Irish ancestry. He moved to New York City, excelling in high school track and field, baseball and other sports before graduating from NYU with a degree in Communication Sciences in 1991.
Career.
In 1993, Boyce was photographed by Steven Meisel on the October issue of "L’Uomo Vogue" with a style team that included Garren and Lori Goldstein. Boyce continued working in the fashion editorial pages of such magazines as British "GQ", "Interview", "New York Times Magazine", "Arena", "Vogue Hommes", "Details", and "Italian Vogue" as well as on the runway in fashion shows for Calvin Klein, Giorgio Armani, Issey Miyake, Gianfranco Ferre, and Donna Karan.
In 1994, for the Autumn/Winter issue of "Arena Homme +", a spin-off of the bi-monthly "Arena", Boyce was photographed by master fashion photographer Albert Watson for the cover with four other top male models of the era, including Tyson Beckford and Marcus Schenkenberg. The two-page fold-out cover included the headline “High Five the New Supermodel Army - Tyson, Tim, Marcus, Gregg and Larry photographed by Albert Watson” and a quote by Boyce: “If I was a female supermodel I'd be Kate Moss – so I could be cute and tiny instead of big and ugly.” The magazine celebrated the five men, foretold their pop-cultural notoriety, and with Boyce's words quoted as a headline on the cover, signaled a skill that he would demonstrate later in life as a writer. The accompanying profile on Boyce stated that he had been modeling for just 18 months, was represented by Ford Models and Select Model Management, and included details on how he was discovered by fashion consultant Wayne Scot Lukas in New York where he attended NYU. Lukas asked Boyce to test for a Levi's commercial which launched his career. On the following pages, he is featured in ads for Gianfranco Ferre photographed by Bettina Rheims, Giorgio Armani Occhiali photographed by Peter Lindbergh, and in a fashion editorial photographed by Stephane Sednaoui with grooming by Michael Boadi.
Out Magazine Cover (1995).
In the midst of his career, Boyce was featured on the October 1995 cover of Out (magazine) with the headline: “Gay Model - Hanging Out with Supermodel Tim Boyce.” The cover was accompanied by an article titled, “‘This Model's Life...24 hours on the trail of male supermodel Tim Boyce” which covered aspects of Boyce's career, romantic life, and fitness regimen set against the streets of New York City. The article, which also charted the course of the male modeling industry from the 1970s, noted that another gay male model pulled out of being included in the article despite recent advancements made by female gay and bisexual models such as Jenny Shimizu, Rachel Williams and Patricia Velasquez who made it safer to come out with less risk to their careers.
Three years after Boyce's public disclosure in Out Magazine, the nation's leading gay and lesbian media platform, he was mentioned in a 1998 article of another leading gay publication, The Advocate (LGBT magazine), that called out the fashion world for still not being a safe place for a gay model to come out and that being publicly gay was not perceived as an option. In 2018, the reluctance of male models to come out remained an issue among fashion industry leaders, when the editor of British Vogue, Edward Enninful, explained that the Hollywood ideal of the “perfect man” prevented many gay male models from discussing their sexual preferences, that doing so may hinder their careers. “It's like...this old notion of what it meant to be a man and that this perfect man couldn't be gay. We know that's wrong,” Enninful said, adding that more models are beginning to feel comfortable coming out, a sign that the fashion industry is progressing in a positive way.
Interview (1996).
For the September 1996 issue of Interview (magazine) which was founded by Andy Warhol, Boyce conducted a one-on-one interview with pioneering rock singer Pat Benatar, discussing the origins and legacy of her MTV era rock and roll image. Boyce joined Molly Haskell who interviewed Jeanne Moreau, Danny Glover who interviewed Harry Belafonte, and Mark Marvel who interviewed Joan Didion as a contributing writer of the magazine.

Duncan Heath

Duncan Heath (born 1947) is a British talent agent and the co-chairman of the Independent Talent Group, Europe's largest talent agency, based in Soho, London. His clients include many leading figures in the British film industry, including Michael Caine, Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman, Sam Mendes and Mike Newell.
Early life.
Heath was born in 1947, the son of Sir Barrie Heath (1916–1988), a decorated former Battle of Britain Spitfire pilot and later chairman of the engineering giant GKN. Their relationship was not always cordial and Heath later recalled that his father disapproved of him entering the entertainment industry, adding that he "wanted me to go work in some dark Satanic mill somewhere".
Career.
Contrary to his father's wishes, he began his career in advertising, and then in 1971 joined the William Morris Agency in London as a runner, beginning at the very bottom of the industry. After less than a year he had been fired for behaviour he later described as "insolence and mild violence".
In a later interview with Industrial Scripts Heath elaborated on his dismissal from the William Morris Agency, saying:
Duncan Heath Associates.
In 1973 he and his wife-to-be Hilary Dwyer founded the talent agency Duncan Heath Associates. In an interview with the Financial Times in 2002, Heath said "she introduced me to a lot of people - if it wasn't for her it wouldn't have happened." He found the money to start the business by betting the remains of his wages from William Morris on a horse that his mother had running at Newbury. The horse came in at 35:1 and Heath found himself with £3,500, a sum he described as "a shitload of money in the 1970s". He bought a fifty percent stake in a company owned and run by Christopher Long, a former ICM agent, though at first business was slow. "We spent most of our time hanging around theatres asking actors if they wanted an agent. Most of the time they just told you to fuck off."
Duncan Heath Associates did prosper and was sold to the giant US-based talent agency International Creative Management (ICM) in 1985. In 1991 Duncan Heath Associates merged with ICM London, and Heath became chairman of the merged company.
Independent Talent Group.
In 2002 he led a management buyout from ICM, returning the group to independence. In August 2007, at the Venice Film Festival, he announced that ICM UK would be renamed the Independent Talent Group, of which he is now co-chairman. His clients include Michael Caine, Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman, Sam Mendes and Mike Newell.
The Independent Talent Group is Europe's largest talent agency, representing many of Britain's leading actors, writers and directors. Its clients include Daniel Craig, Orlando Bloom, Rachel Weisz, Thandie Newton, and Jonathan Glazer. It also has a model agency, representing a number of leading fashion models.
Heath is credited under "Special thanks" on five films: (2004), The Libertine (2005), Onegin (1999), The Krays (1990), and Buster (1988).
In 2000 he was a jury member for the British Independent Film Awards
Family life.
Heath married actress Hilary Dwyer in 1974, although they were divorced in 1989. They have two children, Daniel and Laura. Laura Heath founded and runs the Hope-Martin Animal Foundation in Barbados.
Heath's second wife is film producer Lex Lutzus with whom he has two children, Jacob and Edie Heath.

Her career, however, was constantly hampered by her addiction to heroin and other drugs. She went for detox for 2 years away in the Antilles.
The screen name "Zouzou" reportedly stems from her "zézaiement" (lisp) of the consonants 's','j' and 'z'.
Zouzou was friendly with many famous artists from the 60s, including George Harrison, whom she favored as a friend, and his wife, Pattie Boyd. She also was very friendly with Bob Dylan with whom she spent 5 days and 5 nights as a confidante. Bob Dylan was then very much in love with his wife and always confided to her how much he missed his spouse.
Her boyfriends during her years of fame included Brian Jones (of the Rolling Stones), with whom she was enamored (he initially met Zouzou at the Bilboquet after a concert and wanted her Cashmere sweater in trade for his sweaty white turtleneck) Michel Taittinger, Dave Davies (of the Kinks), Jean-Paul Goude and Jack Nicholson. She is still friends with Jack Nicholson who also introduced her to Randy Newman.
Biography.
Zouzou obtained her Baccalauréat at 14, then enrolled at the Artistic Training Centre of the Académie Charpentier.
The news magazine "Paris Match" baptised her "la twisteuse". She represented the liberated young woman, who was active during the protests of May 1968, as indeed Zouzou was.
She moved to Swinging London with Brian Jones, but left him and returned to Paris. Her fame soon eroded. In 1978, she left Paris for the Antilles where she remained for seven years. She returned to France in 1985.
Return.
In 2002, Zouzou co-starred in the short film "Signe d' hiver" ("Sign of winter"), directed by Jean-Claude Moireau and also starring Marie Rousseau and Cyrille Thouvenin. In 2003, her autobiography, "Jusqu' à l' aube" ("Until dawn"), co-written with Olivier Nicklaus, was published by Flammarion.

Long periods of walking caused Athian's hip to get infected, and upon the family's return to Wau, he became paralysed and endured a haemorrhage. He died at a relative's home in Khartoum.

In a speech on beauty and self-perception, Kenyan actress Lupita Nyong'o stated that she had been a self-conscious, insecure teenager before seeing Alek in the spotlight: "When I saw Alek, I inadvertently saw a reflection of myself that I could not deny. Now, I had a spring in my step because I felt more seen, more appreciated by the far-away gatekeepers of beauty".
Designing.
Alek also designs a range of designer handbags called "Wek 1933", which are available throughout selected Selfridges department stores. The name refers to the year her father was born. Her inspiration for the designs came from the brass-clasp briefcase carried by her father.
