Did you factor achilles into your cow analysis? Kobe inc. Is a global brand whereas Tim Duncan is not....Timmy has been taking losses for years and particularly these last 5 yrs....he's given more than half back to Amy to maintain his secret...he's lost 23 million to bad investments and on top of old smokey he's suckered into paying for a 5th ring out of his personal bank account....he lost that money when he gave 5 back...then he paid some more and finally bought his 5th ring for a total of literally 30 million dollars which is what he gave up...
Let me be at the end of my successful career in corporate America and they owe (by virtue of what the market will dictate) and have no choice but to pay me lets say a bonus of 2 million....let me hear them try and talk me into taking only 200,000....only a dam fool would do it....he helped himself in no way by taking less to get to 5..if anything future endorsements will be affected because the sponsors know they can low ball the dude....i don't see what good that college education did for him tbh....
