Yall think most ball players even genuinely care about winning?

[Creasy]

I'm sure there is a portion of just ultra competitive dudes that keep their hunger for winning for all their careers, but there must be dudes who play for the check mainly right? Like you playing competitively for your whole life, at some point you gotta grow some type of interest for something different and the game becomes kinda secondary, like you already in the league, got a nice long term contract and just cruise through the seasons till you on your last year and then pull up with the effort, I mean it is just a game at the end of the day and only bout 5% of the players in a league win a chip

Id say at least 50% maybe 65% of the league really dont give a fukk like that

depends on how big a chance you actually have to win
players get bonuses for making the playoffs and all that shyt so they would care
but if you know your team is trash and aint making any noise i imagine youd care more about individual stats so you can secure a pay day
thats how id be


also, being labeled a winner can help your career/earnings. why do you think a guy like jason terry sitll in the league

You work at McDonald's, do you care about the stock price breh?

But in reality, I'd say your percentages are off. You've gotta compete with other great, GREAT ballplayers just to get to that level in the first place. Then add the fact that your job is actual competition and you're trying to win a game every night (except for the "tank squads").

I think fans are a lot more affected by wins and losses than players are. Professional athletes are winning in life even if their teams aren't.

Majority only care about getting paid & putting up numbers is the only way to get it. Very few care about winning & those are really only the Superstars.

 

[who_better_than_me]

Depends on how much money we’re talking and what tier the player is. It’s not as clear cut as choosing Grand National over the SS Monte Carlo

 

[Flackaveli]

With more winning comes more fame and attention..

Then you'll have access to the top tier thots

 

[Drip Bayless]

I would say mostly the dudes who are already eating financially or are on contending teams care the most about winning

 

[Young Fab]

No, cause most ball players know they ain't gon win shyt

 

[SadimirPutin]

If I played in the NFL money would definitely supercede winning

Pay attention folks. This is how dumb nikkas lose money..rich and average dudes by cashing thots.


I wouldn’t give a fukk about winning tho just give me the Ms

Winning especially in a big market means more media coverage and overall exposure, more fans, more women, more money, more sponsors, more opportunities to do things outside your sport like announcing, acting, hosting awards shows. Seeing OBJ with Ronaldo means people around the world are seeing and hearing about OBJ for the first time in parts of the world that don't care about the NFL.

 

[ryderldb]

If it was me, sure I’d love to win but getting paid comes first. Once I’m financially set I’d be one of those dude chasing a ring once I’m past my prime.

 

[Illified infinitely]

Yes. But way after money. Most players will take max money vs whatever else especially if it’s their first big contract. Who cares if the team is any good really max money
