🎯 exactly

I disagree with the one team notion. I think it definitely adds to your greatness staying with the same team if they take care of you n try their best to put pieces around u

@@TheSands83 I respectfully disagree with you on this. I don't think Shaq's greatness dimmed by him playing for 3 different teams. I get it from a fan point,but from a player go where u can win a chip or get the most money. To me Allen Iverson wasted to many years being loyal to the Sixers,then he goes to another team when he's pretty much done with the league. People hate on Lebron but he gave power to the players so they look at it as ur own boss and do what's best for u.

@@andrewilliams9921 yeah the players have too much power now n look it’s ruined the nba ..

@@TheSands83 the nba was ruined when fans started critiquing players like they can do a fraction of the shit the players do. Y’all ruined the nba, not the players. Mfs done got too loud and proud speaking on shit they could never accomplish

@@jericothompson8636 I was about to say, the same thing is crying about players moving to different teams are the same fans who clown guys who didn't win rings.

Yea him and tk Kirkland lmaoooo

“Most reasonable black ppl”🤣🤣😂

That comment you just made says a lot about yourself

Suck it up dude. who gives a fuck. 😂😂

Well said.. ✊🏿

@bonez dominate? When did john salley ever dominate in the nba?

@@AT-wb2ph that lanky mf won a lot of rings, 2x in Detroit, one each in Chicago and Lakers. And in the 80s he was no push over.

@@fungus_am0nguz644 he was a pushover he averaged 1ppg that last championship never averaged 10ppg 7ft never averaged more than 6 rebs cut it out bro championships dont make you a good play Patrick McCaw got 3 chips and nobody know who he is and hes out of the league

@@AT-wb2ph He avarage 9.5 points, almost 6 boards and 2 blocks during the playoffs to get his second ring, coming out the bench..

His agent was managing a lot of top guys back then lol

The agent made his money. Curry made a lot more money too but blew through pretty much all of it. Had he taken that $400k a year he would’ve still been living a pretty good lucrative life. He could’ve counter offered for an inflation adjustment and that payment would’ve been at around $700k by now.

hes alive

@@John2000sBaby and he would’ve been better off taking that $400k a year lol. That’s guaranteed annual 6 figures the rest of your life, no matter WHAT happens

@@Geeandrezzi After taxes and all, you get what 2-250k?? That's decent but it ain't that NBA money lol, these folks finna risk it all for them M's

@@John2000sBaby lucky him. He still took the risk, and I respect it…but was it the best choice? If he takes the test at he’s not at risk: great. Keep playing. If the test says you’re at risk: why risk your life?? They were gonna pay him almost as much not to play as he made for playing. Doesn’t make much sense from a health OR financial perspective. But still, his decision to make and I respect it.

@@bigdawg1372 true…but who plays in the nba for 50 years? How much would he have made if he dropped dead on the court? He ended up making about the same for playing as he would’ve for not playing. You’re making $20 million sound like chump change.

Yea but he was making less money over the course of 50 years because he wouldn’t be able to get a new deal. If he passed the test they likely don’t pay him, void his player option and he’d be forced to retire bc nobody would resign him. 20 million in 5 years is 10x Better than 20 in 50… literally lol

Just hip hop

What do we expect from somebody that wants to give the police more money so they can buy shit they don’t need, like all the chargers instead of spending the actual funding they do have on productive shit. 😁 but yea, go weird ass lil dude.

It wasn’t because of how things turned out in his personal life. We can’t predict the future doe. Sh*t sad😑

He Made 50+ mil after the Bulls

@@Ram-nc7ew so look at it like this. You have $20 million. I offer you this bet: put your $20 million down and let’s flip a coin. Heads you get $50M. Tails you lose the 20…and your life (!!!). You taking that bet??

Clearly it was the best decision 🤷🏽‍♂️

@@treedillinger5801 you're not very good at math. How did he make about the same? Fortune favours the bold. One's life is always at risk.

You guys respect anything

He played and made more than double that amount … without taking that test

@@samuellindor7692 he don’t got money like that now would’ve been still gettin a check today nah👎🏽

@@samuellindor7692 and he lost it all and filed bankruptcy because he was terrible with money. If he took the deal no matter how bad he is with his money, it would never stop coming

@@andreearl3258 thats besides the point ! Lol if he woulda died after a couple of years gettin that 400k all yall woulda said he dumb asf …

@@samuellindor7692 that's not beside the point. He broke nigga. Thinking short term is our number 1 problem in the black community and why we can't catch up to the white folks financially and keep falling in the traps. But you speak from greed, not wisdom

They were worried that Eddy Curry might have had a genetic heart defect, a defect that could've killed him (similar to Pete Maravich), so they offered him a contract that would've paid him $400k a year over 50 years if, come to find out, he had that defect. However, if he had the defect, it would've essentially spelled the end of his career because no team would sign him (risk was too high). By not signing, he ended up making more money, and helped nip in the bud a potential precedent that could've been set which would've had all incoming players take DNA tests as a precaution against potential genetic ailments that could limit their long-term ability to play. Of course, they still do intense physicals to forewarn against ailments, but outright DNA tests, as far as I know, haven't been a part of that, and I'm almost certain that the CBA (collective bargaining agreement) would have to explicitly allow for DNA tests to be part of a contractural stipulation.

@@giovannifitzpatrick1987 A got damned sit-up!

Exactly. He made bad choices with he money he made. If he took the deal, he’s set for life no matter what dumb choices he makes

Dumb ass he made more then than 20 mil … he woulda went broker quicker if he took that deal

He not a rookie bro

@@reikwestphilly1599 ohh shit how long he been in the league

@@flock61 bro he been on like 3 other teams before GSW. Pretty sure his first game was with the wizards

Nah the repeater tax was just too much to keep GP2

Damn I’m fried 😂😂

Nah they said 400k

@@NoGutsNoGlory-s7x after taxes, it’s gonna be about $200k annually. Still more than enough for an above average lifestyle

He made 50+ mil after the Bulls

200k a year is not a whole lot of money tbh

​​@@bigdawg1372 stop it...just stop thats over 16k a month

Whether he stays in Portland or not, he's a star so he's gonna get paid regardless wherever he's at🤷‍♂️

That dude was supposed to be great....I bet he does have a lot of introspect and deep shit he could share

Hoopers know. Juanny is the truth. Simple as that. That health concern changed everything

Doubt it , he would have went broke faster lol

Why would he say yes… he just said he made more than $20 mil during his career and he wouldn’t have seen that full $20 mil until he was 70 something years old at $400,000 for 50 years not to mention taxes Ijs 💯

No

How old are you
