In his last 6 years in the league D-Rob made over $73 million, being grossly overpaid for his declining services. This does not include the millions he made in endorsements or the money he skimmed off the top of the Carver Academy.

Had he been more generous and given the FO more money to work with, would the Spurs have won more than 2 titles in that time span?

He's just so lucky that Duncan came by & saved his hash.

I know right? And then to rub it in everyone's face, he wastes a lake's worth of water every day just because he can.

This can be said for many athletes though, atleast he is a HOF player. Some bums sit on the bench and make near 20 mill late in their careers (Juwan Howard one of them after his huge contract) and don't take paycuts. D ROB atleast was great and earned the right to get that dough unlike alot out there.


With that said if you are already rich and want to win more why not take a cut later in your career so your team can get some players? I never got that from athletes when they have enough to feed ten families yet they still say they want to win but get paid enough to hurt your teams cap where it keeps them restricted.

Athletes won't take pay cuts b/c they know that gravy train's coming to an end and are scared shitless about what to do when that $20m/year paycheck quits hitting the bank. Most of 'em spend it as fast as it comes in.

Every older susperstar gets paid more when they're older and declining. Jordan made shit his whole career for the most parent then got 30 million a season for 3 years. Kobe is going to be making 30+ for the next few years. :wow Shaq made 20 million as a lazy useless piece of shit in Cleveland, much like the other O'Neal in Miami, as is Duncan making 21 million to put up 13 and 8. 6 years 73 million isn't too bad tbh

"In the bottom of the ninth, Jose Mesa was brought in to close out the series and bring Cleveland its first title since 1948. Moisés Alou led off the inning with a single. With one out, Charles Johnson lined a single to right that advanced Alou to third base. Then, Craig Counsell hit a sacrifice fly to right that tied the score at two, sending the contest into extra frames."

i guess i'll have to admit it did. The thing a lot of people underlook is that my teammates were often fatigued after i chased them around to no end.

if anyone happened to get caught, i shoved the bible down their throat a la the way Hakeem shoved his third world STD infested cock down my throat in the 95 WCF
