Jaylen doesn't have that contract because his play's actually worth it.

He has that contract because:


Why is Jaylen Brown's contract so big?


Because he made an All-NBA team and remained with the franchise that drafted him, he could earn a 35% max in the first year of that new deal, and since he was re-signing in Boston, he could assure himself 8% raises each year. Add all of that up and you get a $304 million contract.



Oh and

You know they could have traded him. and got a boatload.
But they know he is worth more on the team.

If LeBron playing so great as an older player is overblown, why didn't MJ outperform his teammates as an older player?

Information age exposing fraud.

Jordan played against plumbers and mechanics
Jordan never had to guard someone like Dirk. Jordan could never get in the face of Dwight Howard like UD. Dwight would have snatched jordans cheeks and nike stocks would plummet.

Dude stop it!!!
stop trying to make this bum relevant.
he is an NBA player that is it.
Never been anything but that.
Heat have too many stars to try to compare a lifetime bench player to MJ

What was Jordan doing at age 42? Kobe didn't even live to see 42. Clearly, Udonis has to be in the GOAT conversation.

Retiring for the 4th time.

Kobe didn't even live to see 42.

And thats honestly the best thing to happen to his on court legacy.

Jordan retired as most self-respecting great player do. UD stayed riding the pine collecting checks with pom pom on.
Most top players don't do that.
UD was the official mascot of the Heat. He was collecting welfare checks from the heat.

 

[Simply Sickenin']

those teams can pay their players whatever they want.

The difference is Embiid has been an injury risk from day one(he does not even qualify for the scoring championship because he misses so many games.)
Then the 76ers get swept in the playoffs in the first round by the Nets.
yeah give him 160million

My 2nd Rounders do not get swept by the Nets in the 1st round. They go to 7 in the 2nd round with a team that they should have swept. Then lose at home in game 7, despite having one of the best regular season home records.

If you're gonna slander my squad, at least do it correctly.

"To the Nets in the 1st round" ....

Information age exposing fraud.

His stans can't even respond to how he was covered before it became financially advantageous to outright lie and revise history to keep selling his shoes post retirement. All that's left is diminishing the GOAT in real time. They can't make a single basketball argument for Jordan anymore. Most don't even want to admit he's their guy. No lets just pretend the greatest scorer in the history of the sport going for his already record 20th all-NBA selection with one of the worst whistles in the league this season isn't extraordinary.

My homes near Maryland Ave. And you're right.. You come around here and you're absolutely going to jail. The only thing a nigga like you can afford over here is at the chick fil a. You have no business around here young man.

I used to live in that area but I moved on up like George & Weezy long ago.

Very weird flex to bring up affluence. That's a long ass street but when I lived near the Arboretum, it seemed like the only thing the zombies over there spent money on was synthetic marijuana.

Consider yourself on notice. You keep liking that poor man's cries for help and the DC Violence thread on BGOL is going to feature news stories on a string of elder beatdowns up and down Maryland Ave NE & SW.

Beat the shit outta that old ass muthafucka. Then prop him back up in his wheelchair and roll his ass onto the interstate so an 18 wheeler can seal the deal.

Typical discourse i would expect from a violent scumbag from that trashcan of a town called philadelphia. Place is a real shit hill. I bet hes a muslim too.

Folks starting to see. His game predictable as fuck, which is nothing wrong with that, but he can’t finish games.

 

[KingTaharqa]

MJ and Kobe dickeaters in Arizona booing Bronny is on brand. When he was in high school a fan in a Michael Jordan jersey ran on the court and tried to attack him. You don't see LeBron's fans booing kids because his fans just aren't the losers Mike and Kobe's are. Right Kobstanza?

 

[KingTaharqa]

He's a Kobe disciple that likes taking difficult shots in the clutch. He's got that long 6'9 frame but doesn't score in the paint or use his size to get easy shots enough to my liking. Some of that is due to his weak handle, but it's not good that whenever the team gets in a jam in a tight game, his go to move is a step back 3 off the dribble with a hand in his face or a bailout call from the refs.

But somehow how they have the best record in Basketball.....go figure oh well
Good thing the celtics are usually blowing the other team out.

We know, the point is everyone who knows basketball knows that he isn't worth and shouldn't have the biggest contract in NBA history.

The Celtics have a great team. We are simply criticizing your soon to be $300 million superstar. It’s an observation that people are catching on to. He isn’t clutch like that. And that’s ok. He does other things well.

Things I’m certain the Celtic will do at the end of close games. A wildly contented step back jumper off the dribble from Tatum or Brown coming up smedium and turning the rock over. Derrick White is gaining much deserved appreciation for bailing those two guys out.

Now the Raptors Must Reinvent Themselves

The Siakam trade closes the book on an indelible era of Raptors history, but it also gives the franchise an opportunity to reinvent itself
