🇨🇳 Meanwhile in China
Driverless delivery trucks are quickly taking over.
No limits on drivers hours, no salary or insurances for the employee drivers & the data will soon show they are safer.
This is the 4th Industrial Revolution.
@RBPhillyTake I would say Cleveland if he wants to end his career back where it started. On the other hand, if he could win a Championship on his way out in Philly would help his GOAT debate 😂. I'm Team Jordan!!!
@TheConald@_Muad__Dib___@975TheFanatic@sixers Your telling me a player that missed more games in is career than he played is better than an NBA Champion and NBA Finals MVP. I like Embiid but he's not better than Jaylen Brown.
@Sean_Barnard1 Hopefully another team will take a chance and bring him in. The @sixers need a shooter with height like Big Fish Isaac Johnson ASAP. He will get a standard contract.
Jaylen Brown says he used the NBA Players Association instead of hiring an agent for the NBA Draft because they're paid to help players
“When I entered the draft, I didn't have an agent. I'm probably the highest picked selected ever that didn't enter with an agent. When I was evaluating, I went through the whole process and sat with a bunch of people, and what they was offering I ain't really need. It was kind of already slotted, so I leaned on the union a lot more”
“A lot of the agents came and was like, ‘Yeah, we'll move you to L.A. We'll get you a trainer, put some money in your pocket,’ and I was like, ‘For what? Do I gotta give the money back?’ They was like, ‘Nah, but standard agent fee is 4%.’ I'm starting to do the math, and a house, car, and all that, whatever he was offering, is a lot less than what 4% would have been”
“Long story short, the math wasn't mathing for me. I ended up being the third pick. I think because I came in like that, a lot of people, I think it was the agents, they tried to slander my name a little bit, put it in the media that he's too this, he's too that. Ended up backfiring. It all worked out in the end”
“With the union, we pay dues. All the players in the NBA pay dues. We all pay like $10,000 out of our salary that goes to hiring lawyers, hiring staff, CEO, everything that you need to lead a company that works for us. So all of that is our resources that we all pay for, that we agree to. Once I learned that, I just started using it”
“I'm talking about you can get private investigations done. They give referrals for financial advisors. All type of stuff. Foundation wise, health insurance, whatever you need. They have a liaison that's paid to make sure that you get it done. So I put it on their desk like, ‘I need you to get this done.’ And they do because that's their job”
Jaylen Brown says 60% of NBA players lose most of their wealth because the agency model broken
“I hope I ruffle all the motherfucking feathers. The agency model isn't working. It's a bunch of players going broke when they retire. It's like 60% of players within the first 10 years are losing majority of their wealth after making millions of dollars. Living check to check. You can blame the athlete, maybe they living expenses, but they was 18 or 19 when they came into wealth and the people that represented them didn't help them handle that in no capacity or care to. After they get you and they get in your pocket, they just go get the next one and get in his pocket”
“This is what I'mma stand on. And this could be controversial, but I don't care. If you can't help me at 18 or 19 to maintain my wealth, build a legacy, and keep what I'm earning and be able to influence me on my decision making, you shouldn't be representing me in the first place. Shouldn't even be allowed to walk into my house. But we allow this agency model. They keep coming in and they keep stripping everything and we giving it right back to the same people that was giving it to us in the first place. Giving it right back”
“Something got to change. There's been people taking advantage of these 18, 19 young kids, and nobody says nothing. I think that's a part of the problem where we don't say that and we just allow that to be normalized. No, that shit ain't normal. You get millions of dollars and now you broke. And the people that's representing you can't even pick up the phone now. These people have continued to do that and they're gonna continue to do it because they see it as business and economic opportunity”
