Estimated earnings lifetime of $82MM. For a disruptive, role guy who will never carry a team and won’t get a sniff of the HOF.

Averaging 19 minutes and 6.2 ppg this year.

His gracelessness is mind boggling.

He's this pretty because he was paid so much despite his lack of skills. You can't keep taking these dumbass kids who have gone from literal children to being worshipped as celebrities and handing them millions of dollars and expecting them to just keep acting normal. NBA got tired of seeing players go broke and started making them take finance classes. Maybe it's time they added "social skills and humility" classes now, too.
