I know. I just took that $80k as maybe what he was making in the NBA at one time, not necessarily two weeks ago. I know there is a minimum salary, but I thought maybe at one point in time he made $80k on some 'not a full year' type contract. Know what I mean? Not like a 10-day, but maybe some other BS type contract that I don't know about or something.

Not bad, not bad.

I'd like to see the number for how much revenue he has brought into the Knicks, though. And even the NBA, for that matter.

I'm sure that $763k is CHUMP change compared to what hehas brought in with this recent success.

You're better than this. You really think an NBA player salary could be 80k? He never made 80k, unless that was his D-league contract. The NBA has minimum salaries. I'm sure 763k is the minimum for 2nd year players. There was no raise. NYK had to pay him that. Unions 

Then why was he sleeping on his brother couch like he was broke and going to school

^ he didn't have a permanent home in NY because he was on a non-guarenteed contract so theres no point in finding a place if he isn't guaranteed to stay on the team, but now he is so he found an apartment

I know it's not that big of a deal, and it's just a stupid draft between a couple NBA legends, but I would really like to know who the top pick in the draft was. Because looking at the entire roster of both teams, the way all those players are playing right now… RIGHT NOW... I would absolutely have to pick Jeremy Lin if I had the first pick.

Yao on Lin

"What I see from Jeremy and what I hear in his interviews is he appreciates everything. He pursues his dream. His attitude is so peaceful, but there is strength to him. It is not a violent strength like fire or something aggressive. It is like the ocean, very peaceful, very quiet when you look at it. But you can never underestimate the power that is in there."

Lin was the third pick of the draft after Blake and Kyrie Irving.
