Call me crazy, but I thought getting millions of dollars to play a professional sport should be more important than the city you are in (ACE BAILEY)

People with value and options sometimes flex, or attempt to flex, their power.

Its no different from how people with value and options in other fields (law, medicine, engineering, business etc) turn down opportunities they arent interested in.

The thing that is odd to me is how elite athletes are the only ones who really dont have a choice and dont truly get to capitalize on said value and elite status.

Eventually. We talking hot shot young dudes just starting out. In any other field they can go where they want with no limit on what they can make.

HOW IN THE HELL IS
THERE SUPPOSED TO BE A BALANCE
IN THE LEAGUE IF ALL THE
ROOKIES CAN GO WHEREVER THEY WANT?

NONE OF THOSE OCCUPATIONS
YOU TALKING ABOUT ARE MAKING
NBA MONEY SO NO LIMIT
ON HOW MUCH THEY CAN MAKE
IS LAUGHABLE
:devil:

I dont recall saying anything about balance.

The amount of money doesnt change the fact that their pay is artificially and intentionally suppressed and controlled.
