Hello! My name is Dorian Giles.

In 2016, I received my Bachelor of Sciences in Parks, Recreation, and Tourism with an emphasis in Sport Management and minor in Business. Upon graduation, I worked with Drew Hanlen and Pure Sweat Basketball where I had the opportunity to train some of the NBA’s brightest stars such as Bradley Beal, Zach Lavine, Jordan Clarkson, Kelly Oubre, and more. During my time at Pure Sweat, another interest of mine started to grow. I was able to experience what happens off the court and the marketing behind it. I was very intrigued by the strategy and problem solving involved in Marketing an athlete and the intimate relationships that Agents and Managers were able to build with their clients.  Fortunately, I landed an opportunity to intern with Athletes First sports agency. My experience there pushed me to commit to a career in player representation, marketing, and brand building. I really enjoy the creativity involved with it as well as the opportunity to turn a great individual into a household name, giving them global impact and opportunity. From there I began to work with former 1st round pick and current Atlanta Falcon, Charles Harris in his offseason endeavors. 

In 2018 I enrolled at Texas Southern’s Thurgood Marshall School of Law. While at Thurgood Marshall, I continued to learn from the likes of David Mulugheta at Athletes First as well as Reggie Brown at Priority Sports. In 2021 I passed the February 2021 Texas Uniform Bar Exam, the NBPA Agents exam, and also completed my legal studies to earn my Juris Doctor degree from Thurgood Marshall School of Law. I have continued to develop pertinent skills and an extensive network that I am certain will contribute to my success.

Highlights

 

“Dorian is a heck of a dude. The guy is never not smiling. Super down to earth and is always available/willing to talk about anything with you. Whether it’s just hoops, you need some advice, or motivation he’s always got you. Definitely somebody you want in your circle if you ever need anything.”

— Dylan Windler, Cleveland Cavaliers 2019 1st Round Pick

 

“Dorian is one of the most genuine and selfless individuals that I’ve met. He’s maintained that consistency throughout my seven years of knowing him. Not only does he put God first, but his passion for the people around him and those he cares about is second to none. The success he’s had has come from hard work , dedication while also being a great individual to everyone he encounters. I’ve watched him do everything he told me he was going to do in life. Which shows how dedicated he is as a person. There’s no better agent in the world that will care more about their client and the success of that client.”

— Namon Wright, Professional Basketball Player Overseas. Played for the University of Missouri, University of Colorado

“I’ve known Dorian since 2016 and I’ve had only positive experiences with him. He is someone that has always had passion and competence in everything he does, but, in addition to those qualities, I would say his greatest attribute is that he’s one of the most genuine people in the industry and will exhaust every resource to take care of the people he works with. His plan for Kansas City area kids is something that many talk about but very few execute, and there is no doubt in my mind that his vision will grow into a reality even bigger than he imagines.”

— Alphonso Hodge, Gym Owner & Former Kansas City Chief
