It's a free country, but I guarantee you he comes back when he's :flabbynsick: trying to get one last contract.

90% of people don't enjoy working, but we do it to fulfill our responsibilities. If him and his people are good, that's a good thing.

If he blows through the money and has to play in China at the age of 35, he'll regret wasting his youth.

You clearly know considering you expected that response :sas2:



For starters, you used the phrase "faked the funk" and it's 2015, breh. :scust:

Then you talkin dumb shyt like callin him a snake, essentially implying that he's inherently evil and plotted this shyt out since he signed the contract and he's "cheating his employer" like this is some kind of regular ass job and people in that tax bracket don't get paid to just go away all the time. Like this nikka stole buns from Wendy's or some shyt. :aicmon:

Then talkin bout the Bucks should sue and your general disgust that this nikka gets to walk away from the game AND *gasp* get paid to do it. Why you want him to be broke so bad breh? Why you more upset that the billionaire owners had to give him a few mil to walk away than they are? Like the shyt came outta YOUR pockets. :lupe:


Typical cac shyt :ufdup:
Fake the funk
:dead:

if you're making that much money, you ask for a leave of absence, do what ever it takes to get your mind in order...

then you suck it up and come back. this dude has projects, goals and dreams; all those cost money, all those pay money. no where else is he gonna get paid like he was in uniform. he might feel good today about walking away, but 365 days from now is he gonna feel the same way?

:pachaha::pachaha: some of you guys are all about the money. I had a job that paid :ohlawd::ohlawd::ohlawd: but it was an absolute hell to work in. There would be days I would wake up and look at the clock and would be :to::to: this isnt worth it. It got to the point where I said screw this and bounced. The money and perks were nice :why: but :camby:........so I understand
What was the job? :ohhh:

Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
This is from a SI article two years ago. http://www.si.com/vault/2013/04/15/106309759/the-larry-sanders-show

He started playing basketball after his mom was physically abused at home:



On life post-basketball:



Dude has gone through a lot in his life and basketball is not the only thing he's worried about. Might as well get his mental health in order while he's young. He will most likely be back in the NBA anyways. We see big guys like Kanyon Martin, Bynum and Jermaine O'Neal getting shot after shot despite being old as shyt or limited physically, he is definitely going to get a call back.


Just like I thought, a tall kid that got pushed towards basketball and wasn't really in love with the game. If you're 6'6" in 10th grade and want to be an animator the NBA clearly never crossed your mind.

This... When you strip it all down we might as well say being a pro athlete is a 9 to 5 gig. Most people hate their jobs and more than likely there's cats in pro sports that hate playing but they're built for the chosen sport and they're damn good at it.. And it pays extremely well so they stick around and collect checks. Personally I always had the feeling that Barry Bonds couldn't stand baseball even though he was a beast in it. Go ahead and wish Sanders peace and happiness but some in here are trying to make us feel sorry for an athlete playing in the NBA. "oh they have to travel and practice and stay in shape, etc" That's part of the job :childplease: And it pays extremely well:ahh:Think about all the bullsh*t you have to do at your job in real life.

To be more specific: a 9 to 5 gig that requires 10-15 years of your life (if you're lucky) and pays for a lifetime of savings.

Larry Sanders had the rest of his life to read, paint, write books and do computer animation. he also had the offseason to do it too
