NBA salaries are exploding and some dude who is an All-Pro player at age 21 and goes on to have a LeBron-esque career will at some point make a billion in on-the-court earnings (Luka Doncic if I had to guess someone specifically) but it ain't going to be an already getting-worse Kyrie Irving.

I’m not saying Kyrie is wrong (still doing the research for myself) but couldn’t all his fears be accomplished just by tracking his iPhone, online presence etc.?
Does avoiding getting microchipped like the rest of us even solve the problem?

I'm pretty sure whether Kyrie makes 300 million or more than a billion in his playing career doesn't really prove of disprove Walkie's original point.

Look I’m a smart dude but I understand one does not dissect gossamer and nothing is more gossamer than the meaning of what comes out of the Walkman’s mouth.
