No one said that. And are you suggesting that anyone who’s ever done anything wrong should be banished to hell?

All your idolized leaders have dark sides. Ghandi, Mandella, Mother Theresa, and the list goes on. They mostly did great work, but also made mistakes. We shouldn’t condone their bad behavior and they should be held accountable for it. But acting like they should be banished form society forever and endure some sort of…

Ok, but take away the winning and any of these guys would still play the game and take the money. Take away the money and no one would even play the game. Its all relative. Once they reach a certain threshold of income, a little more money wont have an impact on their lives like a winning season would. But to say…

I bet he wouldnt take a 50% pay cut to stay with the Warriors. Does that sit better with you? He still values money more than winning, which is normal. But he’s not a saint. Plus, if he really found basketball competition to be sacred, he never wouldve Duranted and joined the warriors in the first place.

And he’ll probably recoup a fair amount of that 9m pay cut in extra endorsements for being on the Warriors.

Lets not be naïve. While they certainly value winning, they don’t value it more than money. Durant will make a staggering 72m next year with endorsements, etc. Ask him to get paid just 1m next year to stay on a winning team, and we’ll see if he or others really value winning more than money.

Looks like a really diverse team!!
