Not bad for a guard who can’t dribble.

And he can't go left in the playoffs.

And he can't go left in the playoffs.

Now he’s finally got a little scratch to be able to afford some offseason coaching to fix those problems

[Fireball Jr.]

This is so wrong.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Jock tax sounds gross.

I am failing at posting a gif here so just pretend this is where I posted the clip from Seinfeld where he talks about him and George only being able to make a move on a woman from one direction

Jock tax sounds gross.

Ha. I was linking for the highest paid athletes chart. Haha. Not the jock tax dude.

For anyone that doesn’t know, that dude uses jock tax for the taxes of paying taxes where you play (eg game @ Nugs, you pay Colorado taxes).

Not great:

Dude's messy.

Not great:

So my reading of this seems to be that his step father took out the loan and used Zion's name and then just bailed on paying it?

Yup, you are right - basically they used his standing to get a loan and dgaf about any of the things you have to do once you take out loan, especially a million dollar one.

Not great:

Didn’t the step dad do the Duke money grab or was that the agent deals

If Zion's step dad is reading this thread, allow me to tell him one crucially important thing you should do after you take out a loan: Pay it back!!

 

[Capt. Tuttle]

For our commercial and business lawyers: does imp@ied agency or apparent authority enter into this type of transaction? Detrimental reliance?

 

[MikeSU02]

Not sure about that.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

In the word of Marv Albert, “Yes!”

I would highly recommend going to an nba HoF induction if you can. It’s really great.

 

[Fireball Jr.]

Truth

LeBron isn't playing 37 minutes a game for all 82 games at age 40.

IMO, no. The note holder certainly has recourse against the step-father (e.g. fraud), but I don't see a viable path to recovery against Zion.

8 players in history have made at least 9 All NBA and 9 All Defensive teams, so presumably the best “2 way” players:

Michael Jordan
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Kobe Bryant
Hakeem Olajuwon
Tim Duncan
Kevin Garnett
Chris Paul
Gary Payton

And yes, I broke my “impossible to compare across positions and across eras” rule and ranked them in order. Agree with me, or fight me and lose! (Very loose Gus Fring reference)

Dr. Naismith thinks Dr. J needs a doc. Did he stop watching hoops at the end of the 20th century?
