say he signs 100 autographs that's a grand, and now that he's making "the big bucks " is that even worth it?

Wow. Well, that does it. To whom should i surrender my Mal Fan Club card?
I mean, jeez — do something first.
Thousandaire by my standards . Big bucks by your standards. It's all relative.he's only a thousandaire so yeah
John Wallace signed autographs at Carousel Mall right after the '96 run. I can'tell remember if it was before or after he was drafted. You could buy a picture to have him sign if you wanted to but he signed anything anyone brought for free. He signed my 1996 Final Four hat that I bought right after the run. There's a difference between having the right to do something and doing the classy thing.
Classy is timeless, and I don't think it's classy. You don't have to agree with me.Who isn't classy?
I doubt it was Malachi that set this up. '96 was 20 years ago. It's not the same world.
You don't have to agree with me.
So glad I have your permission.
Doing it at a high school lacks tact and class. I concede that point.
There aren't enough John Wallace's in our world, unfortunately. Not keyed in to the autograph scene. I just assumed it was common to charge $ these days.
I think it's much more common by established accomplished players. This smells like somebody taking advantage of his local celebrity instead of celebrating something really cool with the community he grew up with/in.So glad I have your permission.

What's too bad is that he is probably too immature to recognize how it looks. Then again maybe he knows exactly how it looks and doesn't care. :noidea:Valid point. Which makes me believe this was not his idea, but rather that of his "handlers."
The next thing you know he'll be doing some local ads in his hometown and cashing in on that smile of his. The horror.I think it's much more common by established accomplished players.

Not the same thing, but your sarcasm is noted.The next thing you know he'll be doing some local ads in his hometown and cashing in on that smile of his. The horror.
They are the same, in that they are opportunities available to him as a result of his celebrity as a basketball player.Not the same thing, but your sarcasm is noted.
It's Mali here because he's familiar. I'd say the same thing if it were Simmons, Ingram, or even Gbinije for that matter.Geez, are people going to complain about Mali incessantly about everything? We'll have Mali bashing threads throughout his career nit picking everything he does. Seems like there's a lot of butt hurt that he didn't come back to your team. No wonder he called out some fans in that interview.

Signing an autograph is the service that is rendered.One is a business exchanging money for services rendered. The other is not.

I had a buddy who knew a couple Mariners players. He was able to get my Cal Ripken Jr. card signed in front of me!!!!Back in '99 I went to Cooperstown to see Ryan, Yount, and Brett inducted. I had just finished my senior year of high school. Saw Pete Rose selling his 'graph for $10.
To this day I regret not getting it.
I'm impressed that you were able to determine his level of joy at having been drafted based on the fleeting seconds he had a microphone and camera stuck in his face that night.Has nothing to do with him not coming back. I was happy to see him drafted, and disappointed to see him not showing any joy at having been drafted.
