You really got 6 +1s for this?
I'm a career PP hater and I really don't see why this is the horrific thing that no moral person can abide.
Shame on you all.
Let's burn more witches as well.

His investments alone should spin off a minimum of $3,000,000/year of straight spendable income without even touching the principal. Which means his $70m should be closer to $150m in 10 years.
Judge the guy all you want, but ask yourself -- if you made $3,000,000/year WITHOUT WORKING, would you really give a F about keeping your corporate job at Walt Disney?
PS: God bless Shaq, but really what does he do with all that money??? I assume he only keeps the TNT job to get him more sponsorship deals, which makes sense considering his personality. Pierce, on the other hand, had no personality until this episode. Maybe he wants to open strip clubs after the pandemic?
A good percentage of them go broke for varying reasons. ESPN did a special on it years ago. Here’s a clip
And some of those analysts make millions, especially the ones on TNT. They’re trying to maintain a very expensive lifestyle, and only the players that continue to work can do it.

If you made 3 mil a year without working, you'd get pretty bored after a few years. Keep in mind that these guys have been partying long before they retired. They probably work these media jobs cause they enjoy them and it keeps them relevant.

I could care less if PP was sniffing a oz of blow off the skeziest hookers in existence.
I just hate PP in general.

I’m disappointed that you said “could care less” instead of “would be beaming with the joy of a father who’s first child took their first steps”.

A good percentage of them go broke for varying reasons. ESPN did a special on it years ago. Here’s a clip
And some of those analysts make millions, especially the ones on TNT. They’re trying to maintain a very expensive lifestyle, and only the players that continue to work can do it.
I appreciate that, but supposedly Pierce has $70m right now, which is far from broke. Shaq is reportedly worth nearly half a billion which tells me his TNT salary is a grain of salt and that he does the work for other reasons, probably because the platform helps him stay lathered in Icey Hot endorsements, among others.
I get why Kenny Smith or Jalen Rose needs the job, but at some point you gotta put up with a whole lotta corporate bullsh*t for what exactly? IDK how much they paid Pierce, but I'm guessing it was the difference between making $3m and $3.5m this year. Would that be enough to get you to go to work every day?
No man with nearly $100m in the bank is gonna want to get up and go to work for Walt Disney every day as a mid-level employee.
