Justin Holiday has only once survived an off-season without being traded or signing a new contract with a new team. When you think “NBA Journeymen”, Holiday should be near the top of your list, and, given that his contract with the Pacers is just a one-year deal, we shouldn’t get too comfortable with the sight of Holiday in a Pacers jersey. Next year he’ll probably be on the Magic or the Kings on a 2-year, thirty-million dollar deal with a team option on the second year.
I’m doing my best to change this pattern of Holiday’s career. With every highlight video I upload of him, I’m adding footage to a body of work that will portray him to GM’s across the league as a deadly shooter who can pull up over defenders like a shorter, but equally lanky, Kevin Durant. The fact that his career shooting percentage is below 40% should have no bearing on his status as short Kevin Durant. GM’s should just ignore all the statistics and watch the videos instead. Videos don’t lie. Statistics do.
I have repeatedly tried to invoice Holiday for the fees associated with my work, but none of these invoices ever get paid. Does he not realize that he would have been out of the league at age 25 if it were not for my highlight videos? And it’s not like my fees are unreasonable. $25,000 per video is the going rate these days for a single two-minute highlight video edited by a professional. When I charge $50,000 instead, that’s just an acknowledgement of my own immense talent and stature.
