I thought that this was great information that I didn't want to see get buried in a different thread:

Enes Kanter is going to get PAID.

I think it would be fun to have an All-Star game for UK NBA players against the rest lol.

Enes Kanter is going to get PAID.

 

Hell ya he is. He's was good for Utah but has been solid, at least offensively for the Thunder.

 

Many of the BBN have the "What if Jodi came back and played in 2009-2010?" and that's a good. But I would have loved to watch Kanter play for the Cats.

The fact that Jorts made $1,712,094 playing basketball is amazing to me.

Enes Kanter is going to get PAID.

 

Knight should be in for a nice payday as well. Someone is going to give him $8-10M a year.

The fact that Jorts made $1,712,094 playing basketball is amazing to me.

That's up there with Nazr Mohammed has made $63,713,728 playing basketball

That one is pretty amazing as well.

Now post their college earnings so we can compare. :banana:

Cal changes lives !!

 

Did those kids work hard ,yes, but the man can get the most out of these kids.

Cal has absolutely nothing to do with any of them making that money. They were all going to make it regardless.

I don't know if I buy that with Harrellson or Liggins.

 

The rest, I agree.

Is he playing overseas?

Enes Kanter is going to get PAID.

 

Yes he is.

I don't know if I buy that with Harrellson or Liggins.

 

The rest, I agree.

 

I'll give you those two but the majority of them were headed to the NBA and to fat bank accounts despite Cal. At the same time, his ability to get this type of talent on a yearly basis is amazing to watch yearly.
