I seriously dislike John Wall. I understand hes mad he could of gotten more money but hes just the type of person who feels like hes always entitled to something.
Kind of like LeBron James.. without the skill.
The salt is real
Yes, I feel so incredibly bad for John Wall.
What an unfair and horrible life John Wall lives.
Holy shit John Wall is officially moved to Alpha
first turning around one of the shittiest organizations in the L, always stepping up in the playoffs, and always taking shots at the east competition (see the shade he threw at Dion Waiters)
Charles Barkley and many legends back then get way lesser money.
John wall is a btch
and Steph Curry is making significantly less than both of you
STFU and win some playoff games
lol at john wall, last year he made 5m less than lebron and 3 less than KD. If he wants to talk fair, he should be nowhere near those guys in terms of money.
probably would have made the all-star team in the Leastern conference...
Rodney Stuckey and Lou Williams both got 3 year $21 million dollar contracts this off season.

They did win some playoff games.....probably would have been in the ECF if he didn't break his hand
He should go on welfare. What a rough life
I'm a John Wall fan, but dude, you put a ball in a hoop, and get paid $80 mil to do it. I dunno, but in my opinion, you're getting a good deal.
That is life. People who aren't as good as you at your job get paid more at times.

:lol the haters coming out to play. what's next Collin cowherd
Magic Johnson signed a 25-year contract for $1 million a year
John wall took the most inept franchise since the clippers to the playoffs and guys calling him selfish and a bum.:lol
This dude basically emasculated Reggie Jackson in front of the whole world. :lol
"I'm getting the same as reggie jackson" :eek: ****ing ether.

John Wall = J Cole
Jackson = Diggy
Reggies contract is one of the 5 worst in the league, and Kanter just joined him
I hope Reggie Jackson dunks on him or crosses him up real bad now :oldlol:
edit: but I do think he's got a point. just got a huge ego also
Reggie Jackson should reply with the dougie.
John Wall would be the most hated player in the league if he was better.

Well said. Players don't get paid what they actually deserve linearly compared to the rest of the talent in the league.
John wall flexin on these haters.:rockon:
Wall irritates me when he says stuff like this. Some of his comments are the typical 'mouth writing checks that his game can't cash'.
He shouldn't be commenting publicly on other players' contracts. Period.
He has a point.
Oh well, he should have had a better agent.
Oh the humanity! 80 MILLION DOLLARS! How will he live??
Tough shit, don't sign a long term contract and then walking around with a sandy ****** a couple years into it because someone got more money than you did.
Go on a series of one year contracts if its that important to you to get paid more than everyone else.

Smart move by LeBron.
Alpha. True alphas like MJ/Kobe/Goatbrook never sugercoat anything. I'm excited to see if Jackson has something to say when the Pistons-Wizards play.
I don't blame John Wall for complaining that he makes the same as Reggie Jackson. Is he supposed to be happy about it?
For most of his career Jordan wasn't even close to the highest paid player in the league and never said anything about it publicly.
Wizards/Pistons games should be pretty fun now :rockon:

Exactly. He wanted the security of a long-term deal - now you're locked in. And it's so unprofessional of him to single out someone by name. Look it's called capitalism/free market - Reggie is perfectly in his right to get the best possible deal he can.
Stop whining and be grateful to all those who came before you that built up this game and allowed you to be secure for life.

This NBA is the opposite of a free market.

No it isnt.
The government doesnt intervene and coerce either side.
This is between labor and management. They negotiate terms between the two side and everyone has to live with it.
If the top players dont like having their salaries reigned in as a concession to the owners so that Eddy Curry and Baron Davis can get fully guaranteed deals to sit on their ass for half their contract, then the top players should move to dissolve the union. It hurts them more than it helps them.
Free market refers to a lack of government intervention. It doesnt mean labor gets whatever it asks for.

We don't have a true free market in America to begin with.
John Wall individually has no option but to play for the NBA or leave his home country if he decides to play basketball. The NBA has a monopoly on big time professional basketball in the United States ...

So how does a player like Corey Joseph get $30/4 years? It restrains the top players who comparatively don't get their "value" but they make it up with endorsements (also capitalism/free market). If the players don't like it, then get other union representatives when you go to the bargaining table with the owners.

Nothing you said contradicts my statement.
When you have a a league full of nonprofits (NBA teams are non profit) who receive state funds to build arenas and don't pay taxes for long periods of time...then you don't have a free market.
Maybe that dumbass shouldn't have signed a long term deal. Maybe his agent can explain how the cap works before his next contract.
Reggie Jackson doesn't have his own shoe brining in that extra income
