It's sad some of us are laughing at homie losing his money like that due to a gruesome injury. Not that homie is starving or anything but... :manny:
I dont get why he's so hated. Sometimes i feel like Wall-hate is almost comparable to Dwight-hate :lupe:

Ya'll really holding a grudge over that Reggie Jackson shyt?

“People talk about me getting $80 million, now you got people getting $85 million that haven't made the All-Star (Game) or anything like that," Wall said to Comcast SportsNet Washington. "I guess they came in at the right time. That new CBA kicked in and they're good now. Reggie Jackson gets five years, $80 million. I'm getting the same as Reggie Jackson.”
Thats it? Every single player thinks like this...

I don't disagree with him. I just think there's somewhat of a code among athletes to not talk on each other's money publicly like that. Because ultimately the owners will then use that to bring everyone's money down. Reggie Jackson being able to make $85 million in a way allows John Wall to make $160 million or whatever it is he's making.

Fax. And just in general, how can you hate on what another man makes? To point at a colleague and say he doesn't deserve his $$$ is some hoe shyt.

you're not supposed to speak about another players paper publicly like that. it's one of those unwritten rules.

Did any current or former players check him over that or even mention it? Did Reggie Jackson ever mention it?

Which is his whole point. The CBA went up and his value has increased and he used Reggie Jackson as a comparison AFTER Reggie already got paid. He never said he doesn't deserve that money, just making a point that he would get more under the current CBA

You don't have to like him, but ya'll chose to make this a bigger deal than it was.

The rest of the quote:

"But I'm happy for all those guys," Wall said. "To see anybody get the opportunity to live their dream out, get the opportunity to take care of their family when they can, it's a blessing."

Wall: I'm being paid same as Pistons' Jackson

im not sure if anyone checked him about it, but I do know Melo caught heat for making a similar comment on jeremy lin's contract offer from houston
