Yeah he'll make it back or find another 6 million under his couch cushion or something.
But still, it just reeks of bad management of money no matter how much he has. The fact that he's comfortable throwing that kinda money around on a 50/50 proposition is crazy.

As long as this game delivers..
If the Pacers win, the Spurs will attempt to win the softest title in pro sports history.
Facing the 5-6-7 seeds in their conference and the 3 seed from the East with no Kobe, no Rondo, no Rose, no Russ, no Lee, no Gallo, no Granger, not having to see Durant, CP3, Melo or LeBron,
It would also be Pop's 3rd title in which Phil Jackson didn't coach that season.
Be a bigger asterisk next to this title than the 99 season. Absolutely serious.

We played the teams that we were assigned to play, its not like we chose to not play OKC... We would have beat the Thunder regardless with no Harden, you've seen an entire season of what that was like. Why were CP3 and Melo mentioned like either of their teams were true title contenders? They wouldnt have made it far enough to play SA regardless and if they did by some odd chance they definitely would have lost.If the Pacers win, the Spurs will attempt to win the softest title in pro sports history.

Yeah because Phil Jackson coaching a team would have made a difference this year. Unless he coaches Miami the team he was running would have lost.
Again with this asterisk in 99 talk. Why is there an asterisk next to that? Because of the shortened season, the same shortened season that every other team was on thus making it a completely level playing field? I never hear this kind of talk about last years season......

You played an 8 seed in the FInals bruh, come on.
And I didn't suggest that you picked and chose your opponets, I'm speaking to the FACT that you will have faced the absolute softest playoff schedule of all time to win a title. (IF, you face Indy, and IF you win) Period. By no means am I saying that you chose anything, it's just how it goes.
Melo/CP3 in terms of biggest/best stars in the game, you will have faced none of them. Hence, the point.
And sorry, if Pop wins #5, and 3 of them are when Phil Jackson ain't coaching, and Phil is 4-1 against Pop in the playoffs, *shrugs* I find it humorous is all. Pop wins when Phil ain't around. Thas all.

Wow didn't realize that. That's interesting. BUT they simply beat the teams that were in front of them.

These are all coincidence though. I see what you're saying but someone could easily read what you wrote and say "Hey yeah, look at those guys, they never have to beat good teams/players, etc"You played an 8 seed in the FInals bruh, come on.We played the teams that we were assigned to play, its not like we chose to not play OKC...

Miami by 7-9
Lebron scores 35 7 7
15 foul shot discrepancy, predict lots of complaints about the refs/Stern.
If the Heat are going to lose I'd rather it be against the Spurs, a Pacers/Spurs final is 5 games max until Pop and Company skate with that.

Respect.
One of the best point guards ever, his prime seasons in Dallas, PHX and NJ were something else, he helped so many guys steal money by hiding their faults (Looking at you Jefferson). Definitely hung on too long though should have just left after he won his ring. He played great earlier this season but his Father Time caught up quick.

Couldnt have said it better myself. Summed up everything real nicely. He really should have hung it up after the ring though.

Jason Kidd...one of the best to ever do it. Happy he has a ring. Watching him in the playoffs was beyond painful.
*Off subject..I always wonder if part of his motivation to play well into his late 30's was fueled by child support payments? A lot of Kidds (rimshot).

Laying the 7 is probably the right side
$5.9 million? Something tells me Floyd doesn't know how to manage his money right
I really don't understand how people are still saying this about Floyd. He JUST signed a 6-fight, 30-month deal with Showtime worth a minimum of $200 Million. One of those fight is already over and he earned a guaranteed 32 Million from that fight alone. The fight's ratings weren't as high as Floyd's fights usually are (mostly because of the sudden network change, and therefore, advertisement limitations). So...
NOW... the key here is Floyd's NEXT fight. In 3 months, he'll be fighting a young, undefeated, Mexican phenom on Mexican Independence Day weekend (ratings bonanza). PPV buys are a minimum of $60. He would only have to generate an extra 100,000 people in the world to pay to "watch him lose" in order to make that money back. So basically, this new being released takes care of that. Expect some extra trash talk and some questionable comments as the fight gets closer.

It's only right that the co-Rookie of the Year winners retire together. It's been real.

J Kidd One the best PG's and leaders ever. I'm glad he won a ring. Shoulda won that MVP in 01-02.
How many kids he got? I thought he just had the big head son.
