Only reason to aim for the high number is more money to pass to your kids/grandkids, more money in general is also nice too. I'm certainly not taking 54 over 300 if I have the choice. I don't think any of these guys outside of the ones who are faces of the league are worth 300 for 5 years though, and the NBA has been losing viewership too so I feel a little suspicious of how much money is floating around, probably some shady stuff going on behind the scenes with how much involvement china, democrats, etc have in the NBA these days

2 different types of winner : - Winner in Life : Depends on your definition of winning, getting to the NBA is winning, winning Rookie of the Year is winning, winning an MVP is winning, Playing for your favorite team, being able to provide for your family with basketball is winning, Playing 15 years in the NBA is winning ( even if you average 8pts 4assists 3 rebs ) ... You get my point. - Winner in basketball : Winning a game, Winning a tournament. Period. Winner of the tournament is the Champion. Since Basketball is a team game, everyone in the winning team are called CHAMPIONS. They will all tell the story ... We were in that Bulls team that was NBA Champions in " X " year. It's an experience. Gil's question : James Harden ( 300M $ - 0 rings ) or Robert Horry ( 57M $ - 5 rings ). Who would you pick ? Pick them for what ? Winning a basketball championship for human race against the aliens, if we loose we all die. Granted they play for with their respective teams ? Answer : Robert Horry. Winning some money to provide for your family & build generational wealth ? Answer : James Harden. One of one game : Answer : James Harden ( maybe ) Catching a rebound at the last minute of a game 7 : Answer : Robert Horry. Such an vague question.

The best answer I've seen on here damn 💯 lol

[@bernardtroy33]

It seems like which ever end you wind up on you wish for or regret the opposite. Most stars who had money and did not win always say they would trade something for a championship

[@Sophakingreal]

Imo with all the endorsement opportunities and other ways to up your own brand in todays era. Id take the rings. If I’m the star player I’m taking pay cuts to get the help I want and need. The rings would help build my brand even more. I’d make that money on the back end.

Give me my money. My talent would determine my legacy. The money would take care of a couple of generations, give them the headstart I didn't have. My family would be the legacy I am most concerned about.

[@HONCHOSPORTZ100]

The money ain't nothing every player drafted didn't have the money b4 the draft. It's a mentality. It don't matter if you make 1 mil or 500 mil it's about winning. You changed ya generation to come being draft . Now you have a lifetime connection. Eddy curry Telfair walker blew they money so money apparently isn't everything. I'll rather have a winning story 7 rings 60 mill my kids kids kids gone get paid talkn about how I got 7 rings and how they turned that 60 million to 1 billion. Plus I got some of the greatest clutch shots in history ranked up with Jordan I wanna win

[@sonnyqsoul]

@@HONCHOSPORTZ100 lol nothing I wrote said that money was everything. The vast majority of NBA players that ever played didn't make generational changing wealth. Most players that play now aren't even in the league long enough to leave a legacy behind, and on top of that, the vast majority are broke soon after leaving the league. You think these players are going pro after high school or one year of college just to win? The vast majority of them are doing it because of the money, to help their families. So don't act so naive. You're talking about winning...MJ made more annually from his first Nike deal than his NBA rookie contract. They promoted the hell outta him, but he was a loser for his first 3 seasons. Karl Malone is one of the winningest players in history, but he's made more money since he left the league than when he was in the league because he was smart enough to make investments and start a business. His business alone makes $2 mil annually. Never won a ring. Won many individual awards. One of the greatest to ever play the game. Legacy set in the league and away from the league. But we have countless NBA champions who are broke or working 9 to 5s now, who will be working the rest of their lives. Do you think they would rather the championships or the $500 mil? Be realistic.

The comparison realistically is for a player who has an option to take the money or chase a ring. Not between a role player and a superstar like Horry and Harden. So it would be take 40 million a year or take 30-35 million with a good chance to win. In which case I would go for the rings. Or for a role player choosing between 12 or 8 million.
