Dolla' Dolla' Bills Yall!

[THE HCP]

Wow! Look how times have changed in the money department!

Top 10 from the 89-90 season and the 13-14 season!

And the font!

 

[julius]

The # 2 player player on the current list makes as much as 9 of the top 10 players in 89-90 (I took out John Contract so the #'s match up better).

 

[THE HCP]

Man I remember how that Koncack contract freaked everybody out! And remember Isiah Thomas' what was it......10 year/10 million? People were going nuts!

 

[Mediocre Man]

3 of the top 10 were white, which is more telling how the game has changed than anything

I agree.

 

[Sedatedfork]

More Syracuse players in today's top 10

 

[KeepOnRollin]

Jon Koncak looks out of place. As the saying goes though, you can't teach big.

The old list has 3, the new list has 2. It has been generally agreed that Konkak shouldn't be on the list in which case the old and new lists have the same number.

Yes, I consider Pau and Dirk "white".

Dirk, I sorta get, with Hitler wanting all blonde blue eyed Nazi's, but Pau?

 

[magnifier661]

God that was an impressive list of talent!

Dirk yes, Paul, no. Are Latin people considered white?

No they are wetbacks

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Because of the salary cap, Kobe is only now catching up with what Jordan was paid that one year ($30M) What year was that? And how much would it be in today's money?

 

[THE HCP]

Wow, look at the asian guy gettin' all racist on us!

 

[julius]

I think the issue here is that Latins technically were Italians (or at least, resided in Italy) and because we're a very US Centric culture (more so, American Continent) we seem to think Spanish = Mexican and Mexican = Spanish.

Spain and France are neighbors. Are French people not considered "white"?

Yes. What, you want your own "race"?

 

[THE HCP]

Ya, it's weird. French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian should all be considered white right? On all my records, my mom had me down as hispanic. Couldn't argue with her, Im half Mexican, half Cracka'.

I actually run into people pretty frequently that think Italian isn't white but its own thing. To them I usually ask if Greeks are white or are they their own thing or are they and Italians one thing. The response varies. A lot of people think this changes over time. Back in the day Italians (and many European immigrant groups) were looked down upon by whites/anglos, now they're a part of the club.

A of of people classify Spanish as "Latinos".

I know race is all socially constructed and not nearly as cut and dry as we make it out to be, but its interesting to hear people's ideas and their reasoning. Usually there's an agenda LOL.

Why? Honestly, I don't know why people get so hung up on color. You can either ball, or you can't.

 

[maxiep]

Dude, he's Spanish. Spaniards are whitey white white.

 

[dviss1]

Seems like people in here are too concentrated on our differences. Instead why don't we concentrate on our similarities.
We are much more alike than we are different.

You idiots talking about race need to understand that there's only one race:

Human...

Get yer minds right...

Latin Americans (which Pau is not) are generally not considered white, unless they're being charged with murder for killing a black teenager.

Do you understand the difference between Hispanic and Spanish?

Sigh... This is the most annoying conversation. Leave it to MM to make it devolve into talking about race...

I get your point, but there is a legal and defined difference between the two.
