Insightful interview, I'll definitely buy his book just off the strength. It's easy to see how much money and bytches dudes get, you just don't just how much a lot of their lives are ruined outside of those things. Your family, coaches etc people you've come up to trust plotting to leech on you. What good is the money and girls if you aren't happy, which lines up with Silver talking about how most players are depressed.
Also talked about how the business and media creates rivalries and how owners don't give a shyt about any of that, all the stats and fan fare is for the fans. They don't give a shyt about anything but what the bottom line looks like. Also how contracts could be negotiated off a game you're playing in at half time and how little your people, the team you play for and fans care about your well being if you're injured. I see how dudes can get lost and blow it all.
Only thing I didn't like was him seeming accepting of these whites buying their way into culture. You brush shoulders with them so I guess I understand, but you can't end the interview with staying black and gloss over that.
It's a lot of shyt that should be known to the outside word but its nice to see a more seasoned breakdown.
