Filthy Rich
“Players around the league have begun kneeling to protest the injustice of Rudy Gobert making 40 million a year.” For those not in the know, Rudy Gobert is a French basketball star who plays for the Utah Jazz. The 29-year-old now rakes in 40 million dollars a year. That’s an obscene amount of money for anyone.
Seriously, the existence of billionaires is head-scratching enough, but a young person accruing even 40 million dollars is still inexplicable. Not to mention, the Jazz lacks the top-end talent necessary for success. So, why throw millions of dollars at them? But it’s basketball – it’s par for the course, we suppose.
