Daniel Nóbrega grew up with basketball in his life.  When he was 13 years old his father became a managing director of the pro team in Santos, Brazil.  He began keeping the stats for the team and grew into a member of the coaching staff.  In 2005 he left that position to educate himself in the finer points of basketball management at South Plains College in Levelland, TX.  After a year abroad he returned to his home and job with a fresh outlook.  All those years gave him great networking and contacts with both players, teams, GM's and agents.  And now Daniel  Nóbrega knows well the Brazilian basketball market through A$$K Sport Business (www.assk.com.br).  An expanding company specializing in consulting and career administration of professional sports and pro athletes.  Located in Brazil, the last 15 years has seen the company grow to a world power in the market of volley players having on its roster numerous Olympic and World Champions.  It is not constrained by this sport only and has fueled yet further expansion.

After research into the Brazilian basketball market the company positioned itself to open a basketball division in 2009.  Working through Daniel Nóbrega the company partnered with B3 to start the placement of the first foreign players in Brazil.  The company has the goal to bring elite level basketball players into Brazil, as in volleyball, thereby raising the financial level of basketball in Brazil.  And through the raised level of basketball in the country begin to export top Brazil basketball players to other markets all over the world.
