Look At Kobe Taxes.....

[Mic-Nificent]

Exorbitant? Are you even thinking with your brain? He's a fukking hundred plus millionaire with shoe deals out the ass who contributes 0 to society, we should tax them as much as we can

Americans are just

Kobe Bryant has a few charities up and running, the most notable of which helps feed, clothe, and give housing to kids who are homeless.

Other than that minor point I agree with with what you saying. nikkas need to keep perspective. The rich get taxed more because they can afford to pay more. These dudes aint hurting paying that percentage.

Nah nah for sure I know Kobe is one of the more charitable athletes out there, but I meant like the way he gets his money contributes 0 to society.

I am glad somebody is paying some taxes, so we can get the US deficit under control...
Kobe is a great player, however he is an entertainer, how about some valuable members of society, like nurses or teachers, get good pay for what they do,which is much more important...

Not to mention society pays for his salary.

I heard Canadian taxes are worst though. That's why American hockey players hate playing in Canada. Don't know how true this is, but heard something like this.

This is the real reason Dwight chose Houston, there's no income tax in TX.

Canada taxes are comparable to California taxes so I think add Canada being cold as a muthafukka to Cali's high taxes and you got yourself a no go for a lot of younger players

What's most funny about this sort of shyt is that when nurses and teachers go on strike for better pay for themselves and better treatment/supplies for patients/students everybody shyts on them for not doing their job.

How the fukk you gonna say someone deserves to get paid more then when they ask for more pay call them greedy?

Meh I think the overall difference would have been about 3-4 million over the life of his contract. Definitely a lot, but I wouldn't say its a deciding factor.


Then again that money could pay for like 10 years of child support. Speaking of which how much do you suppose he pays out a year? I figure he got what 6 kids, at maybe 150k a year. That's 900k a year. Round that to a million.

No it isn't. He would've made up the difference in endorsement. He left cuz it was strictly Kobe's team. Kobe is LA. Clippers could win a championship tomorrow and the day after and it would still be Kobe's town.

Dude didn't want to end up like pippen with all that resentment he has towards jordan for being considered his sidekick.

So you're saying he wasn't confident enough in his skills or personality to become the King of L.A.?

Magic Johnson had that kind of love but Shaq put in work and usurped him, then Kobe did the same. If That's the reason Dwight left then he definitely wasn't built for L.A.
