Hhshirt - Mission Stairway to seven 29 39 41 7 72 11 shirt

Finally, in the Mission Stairway to seven 29 39 41 7 72 11 shirt and I will buy this early 1990’s (around the time of the video with he and Shaq), Wilt Chamberlain was asked how he would fair if he played in today’s NBA. He said he’d drop about 30 a night, but you have to understand, I am over 50 years old now. Was he joking? You tell me, here is Chamberlain just after he turned 50 – at the time, still receiving serious offers to play in the NBA!!! Wilt is arguably one of the best athletes ever. Any sport. In addition to basketball, he ran track in college. Imagine LeBron but half a head taller and significantly stronger. Go read some stories from other guys who played AGAINST Wilt and how he tossed other centers around like ragdolls. Those are the top 115 highest single player scoring games ever in the NBA. 57 of them were Wilt. 6 of the top 10 best performances are Wilt. 15 of the top 20 are Wilt. And he did it all without a 3 point line, AND he did it over a career where everyone KNEW he was getting the ball and they’d double or triple team him. Would he have the same level of stats today as he did back then? No. The competition has gotten better. But if he cut his performance in half and only had 3 of the top 10 scoring games in history, that’s still 3x better than Kobe and the only multiple entrant on the list.



The answer is obviously Michael Jordan. Jordan has an estimated net worth of over $2 billion primarily from two sources: his ownership of the Mission Stairway to seven 29 39 41 7 72 11 shirt and I will buy this Charlotte Hornets and his huge checks from Nike (estimated to be $100 million a year). James has a net worth estimated to be around $500 million and half of that (nearly $250 million) is strictly from paychecks. This is an important point to keep in mind, because while Jordan has more money it’s worth noting that the majority of his wealth came after he retried. James has proven to be a very savvy businessman over his career and there’s no doubt he will be challenging the GOAT for his crown in the boardroom just like he has been doing on the hardwood. The similarities between the two are striking as both managed to define their respective generations. Lebron is arguably more famous at this point than MJ especially coming up in a social media generation. James will obviously never have the culture impact with his shoe line that Jordan brand did, but Nike still felt good enough about his sales to sign him to a lifetime deal. Once James retires and is able to fully focus on his business I expect he will join MJ in the billionaire club relatively quickly, although I’m not sure if he can ever catch him. MJ bought an NBA team at exactly the right time. He purchased the team in 2010 for the paltry sum of $180 million. The popularity of the league has since exploded, and while still one of the “cheapest” teams in the league, Forbes valued the Hornets at $1.3 billion of which His Airness owns an estimated 97% stake of. James would be hard pressed to make a more shrewd move than that.
