2010andBeyond Posted March 28 Posted March 28 Willie was agonizingly close to being set for life. I feel for him, he must live with a lot of “what ifs”. Still made a few mil in the NBA and spent a decent chunk of his working life playing a game though. I’m a little surprised he’s still playing. MusicCityBilliken 1 Quote

He passed on the guaranteed 3 yr/$15 million offer from Miami and instead ended up signing a 1 yr/$1 million deal with the Clippers after his big pay day never materialized. After that, he had the domestic issue with his wife. Quote
