NIL, professional sports and Brown

. . . I’m willing to give him more credit than “he was dumb to go get the money” and “he will be dumb now that he has the money” and I am not willing to go with all of the heathenous and unconfirmed projections about his daddy, agent or aunt-Ty . . . I am also not willing to place him into the category of NBA players who are now broke without giving him the opportunity to seal his fate . . .

Dion and the agent got money…period

Was talking with someone who is intimately familiar with the situation over the Thanksgiving holiday. That person basically said Jordan didn't see the quarter million he was offered but didn't get into the details. Seeing you post this completes the circle.

It's a shame but based on comments from other player parents about Dion, seems to fit his reputation. Everything feels dirty these days.

. . . so I guess the same crooks also took from Jordan the NIL $$$ he was paid to play at Louisiana last year . . .

Some of those NIL deals aren't cash. They are cash equivalent deals.

Or at least parts of the value are

. . . do you know that, or just thought you would throw it out there to see if it sticks . . . many auto dealers provide transportation in the form of NIL . . .

Y’all wanna revisit this now? Brown has left the Memphis team. Hmmm wonder why? Can’t be cause he didn’t get paid the money he was promised huh? Good thing he got a good agent and better daddy.

Is this true about money part or just speculation?

Sounds like he also wasn't good enough.

Moral of the story is as old as adages go "the grass isn't always greener on the other side of the fence" neither is the cash. "A bird in hand is worth two in the bush."
