Let’s get this out of the way right now—NBA free agency has been a fucking joke. It’s the only place that a big man like Timofey Mozgov can get a 4-year, $65 million deal from the L.A. Lakers, which puts his salary higher than two-time league MVP Stephen Curry.
With so much monopoly money being thrown around like it ain’t no thing, NFL players have taken notice, and their jealous reactions are proof that they’re just as surprised as all of us with the crazy cash being handed out.

Between these tweets from other very rich athletes to the long-term effects that playing football has, it tells me one simple fact—teach your kids how to shoot the fuck out of a basketball!
