About the Author:

Jon Spoelstra is president of the Professional Sports Division of Mandalay Entertainment, one of Hollywood's leading independent production companies. Generally regarded as a master of sports marketing, Jon has consulted with major sports organizations including baseball, hockey, soccer, and basketball in the United States, Spain, and Japan. He was general manager of the Portland Trail Blazers for eleven years. Later, as president of the New Jersey Nets for three years, he increased that team's revenue by almost 500 percent. Jon has also been an adjunct professor at the University of Portland. Jon was the focus of what was perhaps the strangest trade in sports history. Portland was in need of a guard to fill a hole created by injury. The guard the Blazers wanted was the starting point guard for Indiana Pacers. A deal was struck; the compensation to the Pacers wasn't a player, but one week of Spoelstra's time. During that week, Jon played a key role in the restructuring of the Pacers' front office.
Jon is the author of Ice to the Eskimos (Harper Business, 1997) and Success Is Just One Wish Away (Delstar, 1999). He lives in Portland, Oregon.
