Mediocre player fades out of the NBA after a few seasons, more at 11.

Yeah, nobody has done this.

But still, you've earned $65 million and have a ring.
At no point should you ever use the term "rock bottom" to describe your life situation

Wait what? frick those people.
thats it right there.
Plus his agent probably told him to go for millions instead of minimum and pile another year on his retirement package.
Perspective.
Play a game you love.
Make $800,000 and add a valuable year onto year retirement.

The dude was fired because of it. Believe he issued an apology for it as well.
His wife was also Asian, which is why the whole thing was ridiculous.

Linsanity was unexpected and it didn't last.

Thats bullshite. fricking NBA is racist.

He made $65 million and I’m sure he invested it wisely, and he probably banged Lucy Liu, so yeah I don’t feel sorry for him.

We paid him pretty well in Houston. I really loved watching him drive inside and jump up in the air and then try to figure out who to pass it to. Brutal.

China is going to explode. Yao Ming 2nd place now.

Could someone with a better knowledge of the NBA CBA/Salary Cap explain something for me. Could Lin sign a contract roughly equivalent to what a second round draft pick would sign or does a team have to pay him a minimum amount well above that if they want to sign him since he has several years of experience in the league?

Lin has 9 years service in the NBA so i believe at a minimum he has to make what it says in this article
Now this has probably changed in 2019-20
