"Barry Mestel knows talent! He is one of the best in the business which is why I have utilized his skill at every stop in my NBA career and as a Head Scout for my CBA Team, the Grand Rapids Hoops. What makes Barry special is his genuine concern for youth in his positive approach to the game of life, truly concerned with developing the student athlete into the total person."
