Lebron James and Maverick Carter recently made news about becoming the first black partners for Fenway Sports Group and it got us thinking about other notable athlete business partnerships. Lebron and Maverick set the example of the famous combination that helps businesses succeed of having a visionary and an integrator. This principle was coined in the book Rocket Fuel, highly recommended read, that talks about the two aspects that make a business reach their goals.
For athletes especially, it's vital to first understand whether you are the visionary or the integrator and then find the correct business manager or partner to fill out the other role.
We only mentioned a few notable partnerships...share more in the comments?
