Seeing Garnett get his 10 milli a year, if you were an all star athlete, would you take less money so that you can get in more free agents and build a championship team..

Take the money. This nikkas ain't got retirement pension or healthcare. They need every dime.

this is the truth and probably the smartest idea


on the other hand, if it turned out that steve nash would make money money off endorsements because he won a title, then he should go that route.

Players wouldn't go broke if they weren't utter morons with no ability to manage their money.

A few extra mill isn't going to make a difference, may as well get that ring.

Depends. If I'm making Lebron type bread on endorsements then I'll probably take less. Otherwise, no.

I always wondered if someone like Kobe for example, who getting paid 30 million next year, was like "fukk it I'm already rich, I'll play for only $1 million" and gave the rest of his salary back to the team to acquire better players, try building his own superteam and try to get ring #6.

I know it wouldn't happen but it would be some cool shyt. Miami fans would off themselves:leon:

Depends on how talented I am. If I'm a marginal/rotational player, gimme the loot. If I'm supremely talented I want as many titles as possible. I don't understand the thinking behind being 'highest paid in the lrague' if ultimately your team can't put together enough pieces around you to win championships. Titles equal increased appearance fees and advertising money out the ass.
