Point stands: he's a millionaire pro athlete. And UK students are "laughing at him." About what? He won America.

He also dropped out of college and disconnected all ties he had to his coaches and teammates. The less than $2 million that he owns will not support his lifestyle.
What exactly did he win?2kool4skool;1146661 wrote:Point stands: he's a millionaire pro athlete. And UK students are "laughing at him." About what? He won America. They're people living in Kentucky.
You're missing the point. I get your joke. "Haha, Kentucky is shitty redneck state." Compare him to the other Kentucky basketball players and he lost. Josh Harrellson is going to have a better career than Orton. It's sad. He made bad decisions and ruined some great opportunities.2kool4skool;1146661 wrote:Point stands: he's a millionaire pro athlete. And UK students are "laughing at him." About what? He won America.

No one cares, unless his team wins a championship.wildcats20;1147031 wrote:http://espn.go.com/nba/truehoop/miamiheat/story/_/id/7828775/miami-heat-lebron-james-winning-third-mvp-mean-lot
Bron would really like to have a 3rd MVP.
Cool, he can have all he wants, not 5, not 6, not 7......
Maybe, but they're not the ones "laughing." Apparently that's UK students.GOONx19;1146755 wrote:Compare him to the other Kentucky basketball players and he lost.
He is? Orton is 2 years younger, with a higher PER and more upside.Josh Harrellson is going to have a better career than Orton.
Whatever decisions he made led to him being a first round pick. He could have stuck around at some shitty school being paid nothing for another year or two, and maybe gotten more money down the road(or maybe less, or maybe none at all.) Or he could take the millions he was guaranteed then.It's sad. He made bad decisions and ruined some great opportunities.

A 1st overall draft pick PG should put in the damn effort to be a double digit 3 pt shooter lol.wildcats20;1147391 wrote:BUT, he's only taken 40. So it's not like he's chucking them up.
He's stupid, but not THAT stupid. He knows his limitations... As Chicago said though, a #1 overall pick should be able to work on that. Rose has become a respectable 3 point shooter.wildcats20;1147391 wrote:BUT, he's only taken 40. So it's not like he's chucking them up.
