What sounds better in retirement when being introduced/referred to as Former Champion/Winner or just as a Former Player?

It doesnt matter what roster spot you was or how many mins or points you did or didnt average. Once your career is long gone and casuals/people of no knowledge of your former endeavours. They ask what did you do? and say 'I was a NBA player' one of the following up questions will be about winning. Did you win?

If i was on duncan, lebron, kobe level and im getting endorsements like them, then I would say that championship is more important

But as a role player where teams will immediately trade u whenever , give me the max contract first and I know im set for life without worrying about life after basketball

Ring means legacy. You will be mentioned forever in some capacity.


They'll always be another money guy in the league, we dont know all their names or care

Easy for him to say that now. If he had a contract offer for 50 million more then what Miami paid him his ass woulda been outta there.

There are plenty of ring winners no one has ever heard of or gives a fukk about.

If you getting a max deal ya name will be mentioned in some capacity. Even a forgettable nikka like Jon Koncak is remembered for setting the bar.
