At the heart of MKJ Global Sports Empire is Helenmaria Bakkass, a certified FIBA agent (FIBA #202200147) who sees basketball not just as a game—but as a life path. As a licensed specialty agent, Helenmaria operates across two unique spheres:

• Global professional basketball placements

• Representation of Special Olympics athletes with special needs

Her approach is deeply personal and purpose-driven. For Helenmaria, selecting players isn’t just about stats-it’s about building a family within the agency. Every athlete she signs becomes part of a long-term vision that goes beyond the court, focusing on holistic growth, protection, and lasting impact.

Nicknamed the “Mother Bear of Basketball,” she is fiercely protective of the players and coaches she works with. Her commitment is unwavering: guiding careers with integrity, ensuring athletes thrive overseas, and preparing them for a stable life after retirement.

What sets her apart is a rare instinct—an eye for raw talent that few can match. Whether it’s a rising pro or an overlooked street player, she has a gift for spotting greatness and offering the mentorship needed to turn potential into power.

Helenmaria isn’t just an agent. She’s a builder of futures. A protector of dreams. And a woman whose legacy in basketball is defined not by contracts-but by transformation.
