Half a season’s salary ID a lot of money.
Basketball was invented to be a form of exercise for students who couldn’t get outside in harsh winter weather. Peach baskets were the original target. I learned that in fourth or fifth grade.
I wonder if organized sports would exist was there no gambling.
IS a lot of money.
Damn autocorrect.
Not always. “A lot of money” has a variable definition. And with Kyrie’s bank account that ain’t a lot of money. Keep in mind Kyrie also pulls in $17 million a year in endorsements. Does tons of paid appearances. And even starred in a movie. So that half a season’s salary was probably around a quarter of his income. Maybe less.
What kind of students played basketball? College students. How old are college students? Adult. Sports are invented with adults.
Yes organized sports would exist without gambling. Heck it’s only recently that the the pro sports could even make money off that. And college still can’t.
