KC Callero- Director of Overseas Basketball - Valencia, Spain


 

After playing college basketball, KC played and coached internationally before becoming an agent in 1998. Having played the game at a high level, coached overseas and watched the European market first hand for years, KC is among the most qualified agents in Europe. His background allows him to understand the needs of young players, while also applying the criteria a professional coach uses to evaluate talent to promote his players to overseas teams. With an in-depth understanding of each individual league overseas, KC has become a guru of identifying the right situation for each player and understanding their true value.

 

"Although Basketball is a win or loose sport on the court, when handled with honesty and integrity, the 'business of basketball' can and should be a win/win for athletes, teams and agents. I understand my role as an agent is to bring these qualities to each of my professional and personal relationships in basketball."
