But given Scottie will not be able to fully enjoy the total fruits of his labor (because of bad contract and divorce law), I think 100 million might make that man feel better.
How many of those dudes are taking $50M buyouts to ring chase? This is not a good faith point at allevery year older vet player take buyouts where they give up money to get in a winning situation. nobody thinks this is weird. its pretty much expected.
But this isn’t the comparison that gets made most of the timeI give you an extra 100 million but you are no longer NBA legend, one of the most famous athlete's of all time,
but instead you are ****olded Antwan Jaimeson?
Nah id you keep the 100 rather be Scottie.
no matter how many NBA player children Larsa sleeps with Scottie still 6 rings, still Bulls Scoitte.
if you are Antwan Jamison and the same thing happens, that the only thing we will remember you for, for the rest of time. I can't take that 100 million can't fix that.
Antawn Jamison somewhere chilling, minding his business. Scottie out here hating on MJ daily, miserable seeing his ex get popped by MJ’s son and now back in the streets chasing young joints. That man ain’t seeing happiness with his rings.I give you an extra 100 million but you are no longer NBA legend, one of the most famous athlete's of all time,

Generally it’s Star with no rings and lots of money vs role player with rings.

A player's prime money-making years often coincide with their best playing years. While there are examples of players turning down money for a superteam, it seems to me the norm is for players to take the money.imo the observed behaviour points exactly towards Stacks conclusion.
Seems like most ringless pros who made big career salaries will forgo mor money at the end of there career for a chance to win a ring.
The reaction James Harden behaviour when it was looking like he was gunna take a supermax from Houston is a perfect example.
its pretty odd for late career players with big career earnings to choose more money of rings.
every year older vet player take buyouts where they give up money to get in a winning situation. nobody thinks this is weird. its pretty much expected.
Again, you have no evidence to support this.any prediction of alternate timelines involves some guessing. but the balance of probabilities I think is firmly in favour of Stephen Jackson.
Noat this point, osh just needs to go on twitter and ask these nba players directly what their thought are on winning vs taking an extra $100m
Ok I partially don't stand with osh kosh bosh ?No
He just said people don’t know what makes them happy even if they say what would make them happy

If rings were such a bigger contributor to overall happiness, then we would see young players sacrificing money for rings too
Again, you have no evidence to support this.
Bruce brown left the best basketball situation for guess what?None of the guys who are ring chasing are giving up large quantities of money . Kevin Love, NBA champ, made sure he got almost all of that $31.3 million before he got out of Cleveland.
That was the biggest one I could think of and he passed on prob a ~$10M over 2 years? The middle class of guys who never had big individual success like the only guys we really even see doing this.David West opted out of $10M with the Spurs to pick up two rings for the minimum with the Warriors stands out.
David West opted out of $12M with the Pacers to ring chase with the Spurs on the minimum. Ended up getting two rings for the minimum with the Warriors.
We had to be on two different parts of the internet when that happenedand nobody thought this was bizarre or strange at the time.
Iirc there was definitley eyebrows raised even if he was at the end of his career and the Spurs were really good.and nobody thought this was bizarre or strange at the time.
No
He just said people don’t know what makes them happy even if they say what would make them happy
when you are in your prime you aren't really faced with the stark choice of more money vs ring.
if you are a prime player, you have more impact on winning, the difference is money are flattened because of max contracts and restricted free agency, you have more chances to wing one because you are young.
later career players is more apt comparison. they are have made lots of money, and they require a good team to win a ring and the chances to win a ring are running out.
happiness plateaus at 500k and doesn't increase if you are unhappy and rich.
I think that's the clearest evidence we have.
