Age old question: Money or the championship?

[TheNig]

I got this from the Calvin Johnson thread. You're the bright light on a shytty squad and you're in your contract year. You ball out as usual and FA is about to start. You feel like your old team still wont be shyt. But they offer the most money. Other teams are looking at you, they are the usual contenders and then a few who are on the come up but they're not putting up the same money as the bums you've been with.

What do you do?

 

[Ed MOTHERFUCKING G]

If you take the championship instead of the money all you'll be doing is selling your rings when you're 40

 

[Swiggy]

It's funny how the older I get, the more that answer slides to the money

Being young, you like "Them rings, them accolades!"

Now it's like "fukk them expectations, just keep my accounts fed"

See this is my thing. Why not take the money and why is it frowned upon when an athlete takes the money? You're never gonna get paid like that at any other job.

I'd take a championship. Money is evil.

Championship easily. I'd rather be a let's say Pippen than a Barkley or T-Mac.

As I get older, my perspective grows.

I'd probably have my agent write up a clause that forbids teams from calling plays that require me to go over the middle

 

[Tony D'Amato]

If you're talking nfl, money. Not to mention w/ franchise tags its hard for great players to get to the open market. So its difficult for star players to go to a better team when they're young.

I'd rather be Steve Nash than broke ass pippen

let a fan ask me to step out of a 10 million dollar a year contract so that the 'team can have some capspace back' 'hometown discount'

Their loss not mine

Does it really matter that much which sport it is? Or is this just some easy shyt ot say becuz we're just fan?

I'm tryna get paid bruh.

 

[King P]

Unless you're an elite NBA player or an NFL QB, you're never gonna get any credit for winning a championship anyways.

So I say fukk, take the money
