    ~Shannon Sharpe

    “When's the last time Dame Lillard took less than the max? So, what Dame Lillard is gonna be is a guy that's probably gonna make $400 million with no titles,” Sharpe said. “He’s gonna be one of the richest players in NBA history, with zero titles. Nobody remembers the guy who made a bunch of money playing sports — only if you won titles, Dame. And if you don't believe me, ask Kevin Garnett.”

    Sharpe added, “At the end of the day, if you play a sport, it's about titles.”



    Well, OK, then..


    Dame responds:

    “1st of all I took less on my first max ext Do your homework. but whatever the easiest thing to have an opinion on is stuff that don’t involve you cuz you don’t have to deal with the consequences. And u dnt kno If I’ll win it lol... if I’m forgotten I’ll be a rich forgotten mf.”

    Sports is also part of entertainment. There are plenty of other entertainers like actors, that have made tons of money and never won an oscar. No one faults them, its whatever the market will bear. Someone just sounds jealous that they wont be making $400M.

    Weak shit spit from the soapbox of a dude who spent most of his career in Elway’s shadow; trying not to be forgotten himself.

    His job is to say provocative things, not sensible things.
    Obviously, he's good at it.

    Whether you agree with his opinion or not, the guy is one of the best tight ends to ever play, won multiple championships, is in the HOF and has had a very successful television career. Let's be real here.

    As for his comments...Well, it is what it is until it's not.

    The ego of some of these fuckers. Calling out one of the best players in the history of the game? What the fuck has this Sharpe chick ever done compared to Dame? The world has gone mad.

    Take the max every time. Man, these are billionaires and no billionaire got their money ethically. Take that cash, Dame, and enjoy it.

    Dame could have left to chase a ring. But he has very high standards of sportsmanship, and loyalty to his teammates and Portland.

    The vast amount of good Dame has done for the Blazers, and Portland, is priceless.

    An ignorant comment by Sharpe and unfortunately he is not the only moron who keeps saying it in sports. And because it keeps being repeated some players believe it.
