This is wrong and completely speculative. Good for him on investing but theres no investment in the world thats paying 25 million a year guaranteed cash like an NBA deal. The article says he's only in for 2 million. If he can flip that 2 million into 20 million that would be a HUGE success....but thats still a risk and a one time payout compared to 20+ million GUARANTEED annually by the NBA. All these tech companies could be out of business or lose half their value in the next 5-10 years, it a happens all the time in that industry...This is why I laugh at guys railing on him for taking a pay cut; what he did is no different than Bill Gates $1 "Salary" with Microsoft. The official salary listed on tax filings and reported in the media is just a formality; all the real money these people earn comes through their investment avenues. The money KD sacrificed on the NBA's salary cap sheet looks like a lot as a gross sum, but year by year that amount he lost is pennies compared to the investments and connections Lacob is hooking him up with. And this is all in addition to those multi-million endorsement deals he has too; I could definitely see him owning a team down the line later in life if he continues to invest wisely and not blow everything he earns on private jets and shyt.
OKC might've been the team that could offer him the most "salary" in FA, but there's no team in the NBA that can get a player more money in their lifetime than the Warriors with how deeply in bed their whole organization is with all these Silicon Valley tyc00ns.
Yo KD let me get a stack bruhAt least he honest about it.
Most of you brehs bytch, cry, and have mental breakdowns when someone disagrees with your post on here. Let alone receiving disparaging comments from people who loved you just 24 hours before.
I think its refreshing he said this and was open about it. A lot of men need to share their feelings more.
The haters won...he can't even take solace in victory.
I disagree on the last part. Dude is just sensitive. The Yankees stay stacking the deck and nobody shyts on who signs there.It's his own fault, this shyt will haunt until he leaves GS or retires, we've been telling people this move is not like LeBron what this guy did was Basketball Blasphemy

Nah bruh he let them win. While I am one of the haters bc the NBA is more fun when there is a team to hate on. KD is a grown man bruh. He doesn't have to explain himself to us, he made a career decision. Now I can't even hate on the dude properly I just feel pity.The haters won...he can't even take solace in victory.
