I've never seen a guy who was so loyal to the players union and his team (management) at the same
damn time. The dualities :banderas:

We already know that Kobe took a 2 year 48 million dollar deal to show players that they shouldn't have to work on discounts to hide a gm's incompetence. Now everybody wants to wait for the new CBA before they sign their next long term deal so they can cash out. Financial analyst forecast an extra 2.5 billion dollars going to black households over the next 5 years as a result of Kobe setting the tone for players demanding fair pay. If this money was invested at an 8% interest rate for 78 years, that would yield over one trillion dollars for black families. :wow:

People don't realize that his contract also helped the lakers pull a tank move. Kobe is nearing the end of his career and he wants to add more championships to his resume, but He loves the Lakers with all his heart so he wants them to be able to compete after he leaves the game. He wants the Lakers to finish in the bottom 5 so they can keep their pick and add another promising prospect. Kobe taking 24 mil a year was part of the tanking plan. If Kobe eats up 40% of the cap it takes away the Lakers flexibility to add overpaid players who can't carry a team to a championship in the future.
:ohhh:



:wow:
