I know Adam Silver can’t wait for Draymond to retire lmao

Eleven years before Michael Jordan, Nike gave NBA star Spencer Haywood 10% of the company.
While Haywood was on a road trip, his agent sold the whole 10% stake for $100,000 in cash—just to collect his $10,000 fee.
In the video below, Haywood is asked if he is still friends with the man who sold it. His answer: "Yes."
In 1973, Haywood was 24 and averaging 29 points a game in Seattle. Phil Knight came to him and asked him to wear his new shoe.
Knight didn't have the cash to match Converse. So he offered Haywood stock instead.
"First of all, I was young, too, and I'm thinking: livestock? What are you talking about? Stocks," Haywood says.
Haywood took the stock.
His agent had a problem. An agent gets 10%. Ten percent of stock in a tiny shoe company couldn't pay his bills. Ten percent of $100,000 in cash was $10,000 in his pocket right away.
So the agent kept telling Haywood the shoe would never work. At the time, Nike only made running shoes for Steve Prefontaine. When Haywood ran down the court, defenders stepped on his heel and popped the shoe right off his foot.
Before leaving for a road trip, Haywood gave in.
"I said, 'Okay, man, I give you the power of attorney. Let me just go play. I got to really focus on this game now because this is my chance.'"
When Haywood came back, the stock was gone.
"He had sold that sh*t," Haywood says. "He said, 'Man, I got the cash right here — 100,000.'"
Matt Barnes asks him what that 10% of Nike would be worth.
"It was up around 2.7 billion," Haywood says. "Years ago." At Nike's peak, 10% was worth over $8.6 billion.
The case for the agent: in 1973, Nike was a tiny Oregon running-shoe company, and the shoes literally fell off Haywood's feet during games.
Could you stay friends with a man who cost you $2.7 billion?
Yeah the shift was people listening to a guy from Canada lmao and he says it himself, numbers don’t lie check the scoreboard 😂😂 numbers say Drake got more slaps than Michael Jackson, let’s talk about that shift
TikTok sometimes be like subscribe to this person to watch a video, like it’s never been that deep. People really believe their content or opinions are worth people’s coins lmao you are not Netflix, don’t piss us off. And even then, Netflix is usually a waste of money
It’s like the whole world is on fire right now, it’s kinda insane and terrifying when you think about it
They hate Ronaldo so much they just can’t fathom the idea that perhaps the general public prefers his accolades, not to mention playing in the prem and dominating like that is far more superior than hatricks against Levante lmao
"He won everything that year... Manchester United also won everything."
@Nicocantor1, @MichaelTimbs, @GeoffShreeves and @TMeola1 react to Cristiano Ronaldo winning the public vote for the greatest Ballon d'Or season of all time 🗳️
It’s kinda obvious that if you put a group of people together, all of them will be great at different things. Every friendship group has its own unique set of skills, and all those skills are so important if the friendship is healthy
In terms of what though lmao
There is a friend who is the richest, then there is the one who is the most attractive, the smartest one, the most talented at something, the tech guy, the medical guy, the law guy, the finance guy, Same thing can be said in women friendship groups
My thing is fine perhaps they really want to win games, I think every decent professional has dreams of winning the biggest awards and all that, but has it ever occurred to you lot that perhaps they just aren’t good enough even if we max out their potential lol
Genuinely when I look at the table, there is maybe 2-3 teams I can confidently bet we will beat right now lol if we survive relegation it will be because we also don’t lose as often. Draws can keep you up, we probably go to Chelsea and get another point lol
Like Manchester United is such a special case study, because genuinely the club should be nearing bankruptcy by now, but at the same time they are recording insane revenues, how does that even happen. I gotta analyse this deeply
😂😂😂 this club bro, it’s genuinely a business case study. When I choose to do an MBA, I hope I can use Manchester United as a case study on how NOT to do business but also highlighting how poor operational management can survive under a large loyal consumer base

Football belongs to the fans! Thank you to all the fans around the world, the Ballon D’Or of All Time is also yours.
Also the real reason why Drake will never perform at the superbowl is because Jay Z knows all those little records are cooked. Drake will have niggas in the Congo Basin trying to use starlink to watch the 15 minute show 😂 he has to gatekeep it, no cap. “Free me baby” 😂
