Would be great if he could have a long NBA career like Garret Temple.
Plenty of more physically gifted players don’t last as long as dedicated hard workers.

He’s the kind of player McMahon should recruit, don’t worry about the * by the players name.

don't make me downvote him. I'm already conflicted. I love the Hawks and Skyler too much to do it at the moment.

So...an end of the bench guy in the NBA makes more than a neurosurgeon?

Congrats to Skylar! Great kid, one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. Have had the pleasure of watching this young man play since his U-High days, and I am so happy for him. It is so nice to see a kid doing things the right way, putting in the work, and getting a reward like this---instant millionaire---get you some Skylar!

In a single year, probably.

MD's have longer careers, and consistent income over several decades. The NBA guys have to make it all up front, and then make it last.

Neurosurgeons also don’t have to pay agents, publicists, assistants,…

Neurosurgeons also have like 10 more years of education and student debt to get through before they start making money.

Decent fall back option for Skylar.
