Man I hate that Ox man is gonna be short.. cause it's the one day of the year, where REALLY tall people becoming REALLY well paid.. Or an extremely SMALL exclusive group that are not just tall but usually ridiculously coordinated and athletic.
NBA Free Agency has started and while America's game might be football, they certainly aren't paid like it. And a lot that has to do with nature of the sport. (that's another LONG discussion..) But fully guaranteed contracts are really nice. And these guys are getting paid..
Here is a some quick trivia, or maybe a fun game... Lets see if you know any of these players..
Norman Powell
Duncan Robinson
Gray Trent
Even Fournier
Jared Allen
Shai Gilgeous Alexander
Bueller, Bueller.. anyone?
Every single one of those players signed for more money guaranteed than just about any non QB in the NFL this past off season..
Dak got 124 mil guaranteed - Shai got 172 and could go up to 207 if he makes an All NBA team.
Normal and Duncan both got 90 mil
Allen got 100!!!!
Fournier, who looks terrible last season snagged 78
and poor Gary Trent, a decent rotation wing scored 54 mil...
It's nice to be tall and athletic..
Enjoy your day..
