Atlanta is just days away from FORD’s exclusive Take Flight Experience. As part of my partnership with them, RC would like to spotlight #FORDATL Ambassadors who GO FURTHER not just in their respective careers but also in their communities. First up is acclaimed sports agent, CHRIS LUCHEY!
The founder of CGL Sports agency, he has more than 15 years of experience identifying, developing and managing the top basketball talent in America. In CGL Sports’ inaugural year, Luchey secured the 23rd pick for Wilson Chandler to the New York Knicks. This was a move that was unmatched considering Chandler’s early projections. CGL Sports clients include five NBA athletes, two elite European athletes, as well as two players in the NBDL. They are a very tight group of men that encourage, support and appreciate each other’s talents and interests. Special events, birthday celebrations, black tie galas, dinners, banquets, and charitable events are supported as a group. Luchey continues to go further and push the envelope in his field, setting the trend of NBA players signing with Chinese programs (CBA league) during the 2011 NBA lockout. He negotiated a $37 million contract for Chandler to return to the NBA and re-signed a long-term deal with the Denver Nuggets. This was a unique situation in an unfriendly free agency market in March 2012.
