I seriously hope the fucker sees someone he loves die on a vent because he infected that person. Fuck this guy.
“I will be outside doing what I do,” he wrote. "I’ll be out in public. If your (sic) scared of me then steer clear, or get vaccinated … I may die of covid, but I’d rather die actually living.
I was legit disappointed by that. He was definitely one of my ten favorite NBA players of all time and I have had absolutely no reason to be a Jazz fan.
Looks like he just signed a 2 year contract, if I’m reading Over the Cap correctly. So, you can’t really spin this as angling for a new contract as some of the more cynical takes on Jason Collins coming out did. But he doesn’t have more one year of real job security, either, so he’s not doing this from a place of comfort and safety.
Also, I may be missing something, but his math looks…pretty much correct? Doubling your money every 7 years when getting a 10% return is just about right. I guess he’s rounding up to get 64x after 42 years instead of the correct answer of 54.7x, but he’s not wrong by much.
Thanks for posting this. I didn’t know this story.
I looked it up and apparently Lombardi cut McDonald before the season started though for not showing up 15 minutes early to a team meeting and McDonald never played in the league again.
