Nicolas Batum is set to make almost 11 million dollars this year. I’m not making any judgements on whether he is worth that much or not, I’m just saying that’s a ridiculously large amount of money. If I had that much money, I would probably buy:
-NBA championship ring replica
-A pallet of bagel chips
-Basketball hoop for my driveway
-Skittles vending machine that’s always free for me but other people have to pay for the skittles
-Every movie ever made with Jennifer Aniston in it
-Jon Brockman, so I could go one-on-one versus a former NBA player and win
-Probably some other stuff I can’t really think of right now
Damn. My head is spinning thinking about all that stuff. And I’d probably still have at least a few thousand bucks left after everything on that list. But no amount of money will ever buy me the ability to score 22 points in an NBA game, so Mr. Batum has me beat there. Some people have all the luck.
