hi, sorry to reply just now. i understand what your pointing out!
you said " Not really. his biggest inpact was as a publicity stunt (i.e. PR). I bet you that there is no PR guy in the world that is good enough to make international media broadcast even the shortest parts of swedish league games, i.e. even if he contributed both off and on the fieldsdd he was still not worth his money. :)
and
"Ok, you are just guessing. They did use him for a lot of publicity, but the level of the Swedih first league is simply not high enough to make it work, which is exactly my point."
my answer is the publicity stunt isnt his thing to do, its like his the weapon, but who uses him, the basketball team that hire him or who does the promotion isnt it the PR guy. so if the one who uses the gun is a complete idiot to an avaerage guy probably even if you use a whole clip you might not even hit 50% on a killing spree.
as i say methods here differs, he might have done his best or all his abilities but its not just working.
so am i to assume that in bb world all level 10 staff doesnt work the same way in giving results, but i once ask why salary differs between level 10 guys of same work and there was who one clearly answered he just ask less, and that there is no hidden skill that differs the higher salary guy to do more results than the one who wants less.
as i pointed out before, im betting thats the number one league in swedish league your pertaining about and compare to nba the market in the swedish world havent got enough supporters and even probably wowed a lot to come and watch. so again this analysis might again fall to the PR guy since he should or can analyze the market already unless on 3 things
1) the guy is not swedish and is new to the swedish market or not familiar
2) his swedish but doesnt know the market share ( he can do analysis believe me)
3.) probably he knows and worked on the numbers but the boss just coudlnt say no to a magic johnson coming to the swedish league. ( why did he hire the guy anyway)
as going back, as i did ask before im claiming that all division 1 leagues in bb's im presume to have the same markets ( all big ), fans , growth opportunity. from your claiming am i correct to assume that it means that not all division 1 have the same market to work with that probably spain, italy , china or wherever has better than mine while i have better markets than lets say for example philippines, japan etc.
because if that is so then case close already! because my level 10 guy is working his ass off on a market than had actually small potential or has reached its soft cap as we use to say.
================================================
magic johnson isnt the PR guy as we speak, but his being use by the teams PR guy. am i pointing out is this guy if he doesnt know how to use magic johnson properly then its a problem.
but are level 10 PR guy assuming even with the highest level in bb world stand to be incompetent on some areas as others do so with other areas of work?
for i know they are all the same.
