Former NBA player Spencer Haywood was offered 100k and 10 % of Nike and turned it down :mjcry:

No way he would have held onto that stock this long, does remind me of when pops told us about selling Apple stock back in the day

 

[hayesc0]

Damn that sucks.

 

[GoFlipAPack]

Nike would've got him to sell his share eventually

How?

 

[GoFlipAPack]

Knowing that I lost out on 8 billion would make me want to treat my nose

I'd sniff myself into bolivian. Don't even ask me how

Back then 10% isn't like it is now. Companies didn't learn that lesson until recently. That's how Google's cooks and janitors ended up being millionaires too. If they got it back from him it would've been a hell of a lot more than 100k

No need to ask how -- you would acquire, and then insufflate, copious amounts of cocaine.
