So which one are you. If it is the one on the left, you do look pretty excited about combining business and basketball.

Seriously, TGI Fridays has nothing but success. The Detroit Pistons didn't come off a totally successful and profitable 8 year run or anything...

Seriously, look past last last 1 season of basketball (we were still in the playoffs despite the AI debacle) and realize how stupid you sound. The team is the 4th (probably 5th behind the Heat now) most valuable in the NBA!

Magic worked hard to make that much money now he will piss it away on the Pistons?

That's all well and good, but I think Jamal Mashburn might be the post-career GOAT.

Why are people pretending like the Pistons arent one of the most valuable franchises in the league?

And even if they weren't, franchise values just go up and up regardless of team success. If Donald Sterling ever sells the Clippers he'll come away with massive profits, and they're the Clippers.

NCAA point guard shorter than 5'5" Dustin Hoffman?

Yeah, right.

I'm sure Magic does a lot of good things but that made me laugh. Poor people need to sip on over-priced coffee too!

magic wants to buy a team it seems, interesting

Reignman · Post #36 » by **Reignman** » Wed Oct 20, 2010 4:24 pm

I remember Magic's net worth being valued at over $800 mil at one point. So is this him just selling some of his investments or did the economy tank his investments/net worth by 40%?

click the link under his name. I do not have myspace account so I cannot get in. Who knows he could be a celebrity or just some wannabe.

Magic is amazing, I hope they suck and get Travis Leslie or Harrison Barnes which will turn them into a top team again.
