Yes, side plumbing for a friend and representing your country in a world renowed event is roughly the same thing.

Obviously they’re not the same thing but they’re similar in the fact that they’re both selfless acts in which the monetary rewards may be less than one would expect in the open market.

The basic point is that its tricky to ask someone to perform a job they do for a living as a favor. Doing favors for friends and representing your country are all great commendable deeds however they’re still both purely voluntary sacrifices that may involve significant costs on the part of the individuals involved.

You beat me to it, CJ. What a god awful analogy.

is that his age or his IQ?

gilbert cant even count to potato.

I wouldn’t expect a friend of mine who’s a plumber by trade to help me out with some weekend plumbing free of charge not matter how bloated I believe his bank account to be already.

If they want to get paid, thats fine. If they’d play for free thats probably even better. The easiest money argument to make is one against someone who’s richer than you. Everyone believes money stops being an issues if they became rich but its probably not true.

Fairness is an equally significant player in these sort of issues as money is. Look up the psychology of the ultimatum game.

his personality didn’t lead to a deterioration in his game. it all started when he fucked his knee up, tried to come back too quickly, and finally just never got his quickness back.

No love for Spencer Hawes?

If they are mad about not being paid then they should just not go. I bet Kirk Hinrich, Kevin Love, David Lee, Tyler Hansbrough, JJ Redick,Kyle Korver, Mike Dunleavy, Joel Pryzbilla, Scalabrine, Mike Miller, Kaman, Birdman, Matt Bonner would all love to represent ‘Merica

Not shocking at all that you named every white NBA player you could think of.

Cuz I’m sucha racist? We would lead the Olympics in scappiness and grittiness. Only the Germans would have more nonstop motors…

I hate when people release “clarification” statements days after they say something. Stop bull shitting everyone. You said you think they should get paid, that’s obviously how you feel. Own up to it, asshole.

Speaking of Black Guys yelling about money, are you going to post something about Allen and Wade thinking the US Olympic team should get paid?

I don’t see how this could not be a post.
