We have allowed people who get paid billions to throw a ball through a hoop, to become this way.

This is all on, sports fans.

Kyrie Irving does not make billions of dollars. No one makes billions of dollars to throw a ball through a hoop unless we consider "selling shoes" and "being in commercials" as some secondary included part of "throwing a ball through a hoop."

Nets now saying he won't be playing or practicing, home or away. Good for them. Do they still have to pay him?

Kyrie Irving (assuming he relents and plays this season and gets paid) will have made $240million lifetime at the end of his current contract which runs out after next season. At that time he will be 31 years old. He would have to find a team willing to pay him $50mil (your figure for a supermax contract which I honestly do not even think he qualifies for under the CBA) until age 47 to crack a billion.

NBA salaries are exploding and some dude who is an All-Pro player at age 21 and goes on to have a LeBron-esque career will at some point make a billion in on-the-court earnings (Luka Doncic if I had to guess someone specifically) but it ain't going to be an already getting-worse Kyrie Irving.

Nah, just read they're not, at least not for games in state of NY. I guess "road" games are still tBD if they have the right to withhold payment.

I'm pretty sure whether Kyrie makes 300 million or more than a billion in his playing career doesn't really prove of disprove Walkie's original point.

I’m not saying Kyrie is wrong (still doing the research for myself) but couldn’t all his fears be accomplished just by tracking his iPhone, online presence etc.? 

Does avoiding getting microchipped like the rest of us even solve the problem?

between our cell phones and our online lives, we are 100% trackable already.  what more these idiots think a supposed microchip is going to enable is entirely beyond me.
 
that “secret societies” are implanting vaccines in a plot to connect Black people to a master computer for “a plan of Satan.”
and here I thought we were getting away from Mainframe type of computing technology

solid geek joke.

I assure you, there's a massive difference between making billions of dollars and making millions of dollars and the people who don't understand that will never make either. /Julian's America

Dos changing it from billions to many millions change the valdiity of Walkie's point?

I’m not clear on Walkie’s point? That money corrupts in general, full stop? Or basketball players in particular are unworthy of making millions? Or that if commas were rainbows we’d all have a unicorn.

Look I’m a smart dude but I understand one does not dissect gossamer and nothing is more gossamer than the meaning of what comes out of the Walkman’s mouth.

I know don't read the comments....but
You who cheer the Nets on are the same type people who allowed Nazi Germany to happen.


I blame this board when the gas chambers are erected!!
