Is this guy the most powerful man in the NBA? He is a "mortgage broker", but I am not sure how this NBA involvement makes him money. He seems like a powerful runner but I am not sure. He is a client? of Leon Rose (the guy who represents Lebron). Wesley is the agent of Calipari?, or something like that, and trying to broker a deal. What does he get out of a deal?
Supposedly this Worldwide Wes does not like to talk to reporters on the record and was offered the Coaches division of Creative Artists Agency in March.
Before he got this job he is known for being on the floor during a Pacers brawl at the Palace and seen with Lebron on different occasions.
This guy seems shady
League sources said Sunday that noted NBA power broker William Wesley continues to work back channels to sell John Calipari and James as a package deal to franchises such as the Bulls, Nets and Clippers with coaching vacancies and salary cap room. -KC Johnson, Chicago Tribune

Wesley will focus mainly on representing NBA coaches but will also represent some college coaches as well. His decision to become an agent marks an uncharacteristic shift into a public role for a man who has long been content to operate behind the scenes. His profile has burgeoned in recent years as multiple media outlets have chronicled his story, connecting the dots between the young players he befriends and coaches with whom he is known to be particularly close. Wesley is also close friends with James's agent, Leon Rose, who like Wesley grew up in southern New Jersey. Rose heads up CAA's basketball division and has acknowledged being Wesley's attorney for more than two decades.
