Rudy Gober entered the NBA’s top ten list when he signed last month to upgrade his Utah contract, valued at $ 205 million over five years. While the Frenchman is considered one of the best defensive players in the league, there were still those who were surprised by the sums and the fact that the Jazz were willing to sign him to such a contract.
One of the people who criticized the move was Shaquille O’Neal, a former Big Man and no small personality in the brass today. O’Neill said yesterday (Saturday) in a podcast that “this thing will inspire all the kids somewhere, who can learn from it that if you put up an average of 11 points per game in the NBA, you can get $ 200 million.” It should be noted that the growing season so far stands at 16 points per game and 13.2 rebounds, but many experts will argue that the price tag is still excessive.
On another topic, last night we heard another interesting statement from a completely different sector. JJ Brah revealed that Dirk Nowitzki “hated Miami.” According to Braha: “He hated LeBron, Wade, Bush. He would never admit it, but he could not stand them.”
Dirk was not a fan of the Heat big 3.
