After watching that new D Rose commercial, I'm curious to know...out of all the professional sports (in which the average salaries range from hundred-thousands to millions), whom of these athletes would still do this for a living, if the salaries (and endorsement dollars) were reduced to the averages of middle-America?
I mean deal with all the celebrity, fame, lack of privacy, athletic workload, PR appearances, charity work, autograph signings, etc. for a salary of...maybe around $65,000 annually (+$35,000 from endorsements)...
I know at the end of the day it's still just playing a game you grew up playing for a living, but who do you think actually "LOVES" the game so much that they'd put up with all that other ishh, and just 'get by' financially?
