Chicago Bulls: Olajuwon right that MJ is ‘far superior player’ to LeBron
Former Houston Rockets legendary center Hakeem Olajuwon had high marks for the Chicago Bulls all-time great Michael Jordan in the GOAT debate. The ongoing GOAT debate between the Chicago Bulls legendary shooting guard Michael Jordan and the Los Angeles Lakers superstar and reigning NBA Champion LeBron James got its latest contribution this week. The former Houston Rockets Hall-of-Fame center and 12-time NBA All-Star selection Hakeem Olajuwon gave his take on the GOAT debate between Jordan and
As someone who already feels overpaid sometimes while making a small fraction of what an NBA rookie makes, I'll withhold my opinions on how the millionaires union and billionaires consortium decide to split league revenue.
But the league being back with real games sounds wonderful, as long as it's done in a way that maintains the health and integrity of the sport. (Other leagues' experiences with COVID-19 are illustrative here.)
The way I read this: The league is missing out on up to 40% of its profits from fans and therefore will withhold 40% of players salaries for the foreseeable future?
What happens to the escrow accounts if the league gets fans back at some point, or if the FL teams have full arenas?
At this point will it make a difference on Klays knee if we start in Dec vs Feb? I just remember there was an article floating around either here or GSOM about how 2 years away from putting basketball pressure on a surgically repaired knee ligament is most ideal vs the commonly accepted 12-16 months.
I'd love to see NBA action soon. The bubble games were great. But the inability to hold arena games and the resulting lost revenue needs to be borne by both players and owners. The highest paid players should take the biggest cuts - not because people are tuning in to watch some league minimum no-name to loft up uncountable 3's - but because the overweight on their salaries when revenue is high is more evident when revenue is low.
Can’t help myself...
