“This always happens in America. Kobe Bryant, for example — why does he get a two-year contract extension for $50 million? Because of what he is going to do in the next two years for the Lakers? Of course not. Of course not. He gets it because of what he has done before. It makes no sense. Why do you pay for what has already happened?” -Jurgen Klinsmann

I think Klinsmann said that this summer and thought it was brilliant. It's funny because the MLS overpays for washed up stars too. In Europe, those players end up on the bench for AC Milan or something.

I'm scared to think about what football will look like in 20 years given the knowledge of the danger of concussions and the lawsuits stemming from that. It might be an unrecognizable game.

That's my opinion/truth bomb.

And he could not be more WRONG.

Kobe's jersey sales and ability to put asses in seats is well worth the $50MM.

I mean, for putting a shitty product on the court, the Lakers still led the NBA in revenue for the 2013/14 with $293MM. If you don't think Kobe had anything to do with that, then you are retarded.

Larry Holmes on Mike Tyson in 1988- “And if he’s lucky enough to kick my butt, I still won’t respect him. I think that in four or five years, he’ll be out of the picture. He’ll be in jail.”

Mike Tyson gets arrested for rape and gets sentenced to jail four years later in 1992.

Double edged sword, I guess. Kobe may sell tickets but his massive contract has also crippled the Lakers for the next few years and is a big reason they blow so much right now.

Why is it funny? Klinsmann hates the MLS.

Idk why this example popped into my head first, but Belichick torched the shite out of that clown Freddie Mitchell after the Pats-Eagles Super Bowl. Basically called him terrible and that he was glad when he was on the field. Thought it was funny because I can't recall Bill ever shitting on another player like that.

Mitch and the Buss' have crippled the Lakers, not Kobe...or his contract.

You have to go back to the 11/12 season to find them relevant. They have made some crap deals, and coaching hires.
