    Don't do this. We tried this once in the Cheap Seats. ALOT of Space Jammers got their souls roasted in ether...and facts.

    Don't be the next one on the IC screen, ? .


    Jordan is the most BELOVED player in NBA history. There's a difference. Let's just agree to keep it there.

    I swear on my heart and soul I will be worth $1 billion dollars one day. I put that on everything.

    I have to say he's an inspiration most definitely. Even after his ex-wife took all half his money he still rebounded back to billionaire status. That's what's up.

    Juanita only got approximately a fourth of his fortune ($168), but I see your point.

    I hope u do reach a Bill. Even if u don't, we need more black men with that mind set/work ethic. *Salute*

    What do you do that reaching a Billie is even a goal of yours? I'm not knocking it. I'm just curious. Becoming a millionaire isn't as hard as people think. In fact anyone who works steadily through their adult life and consistently puts money into retirement has a good chance of being a millionaire one day. But a billion is some next level ? . To even be thinking about that, you have to be doing something real big.

    Yes, he does. If it weren't for all the black people being silly and spending all their money on his shoes, he wouldn't be a billionaire.

    I wouldnt even say that. Maybe because of the $$ he's brought in. But actually loved? Id say Magic Johnson.

    Lol @ dukes arrogance.Explain how Kareem is better cuz I must of missed this part.I guarantee any reason will be cuz of longevity

    Was kareem more clutch? Did kareem dominate the finals and playoffs like mike? Was kareem a better defender? Was kareem a better overall player? Did kareem influence a generation of players like mike? Was Mike ever the 2nd best player on championship teams like kareem? Could the bulls win a close out game of the finals without mike like the lakers did without kareem?

    Also add that Kareem got outplayed by Dave Cowens (one of the most underrated Centers of alltime) in game 7 of the Finals in 74'

    I wonder what the cash flow is for the average, or did the Bucks and Clippers deal just ? up the fair market value of everything else.

    I know NFL teams basically print money because of the national tv deal.

    Someone said Tiger, true he was making $100m a year at one point but a lot of that is cash. Tax is a ? . If you wanna do something big, better have equity. Look at Lebron getting $30m from Beats deal. You can see 50cent, David wright if you want more examples.

    Salute MJ.

    But i'd be asking for More from Nike .

    $75 Million out of $2 Billion revenue from their Partnership is Hella Small from the Success Him & Tinker hatfield has brought to the Company .

    Don't look at the front end look at the back end. What he retains in equity is worth far more than the $75 mil he takes in. When the day comes when someone offers you a check versus points - take the points (equity opportunities), you'll thank me later.

    True statement for even people who work 9-5. If you working at a listed company, take advantage of the inside knowledge and buy some stocks if the company is moving in the right direction. One of my biggest investment mistake was not buying and to think it had a nice yield on its dividend too. Live and learn
