The NBA is a crazy business.
In this latest bit of next-level madness, I’m reminded of that scene from the classic film Trading Places, when Dan Aykroyd’s character is explaining Wall Street rules to Eddie Murphy:
“One minute, you’re up half-a-million in soybeans. And the next, boom, your kids don’t go to college and they’ve repossessed your Bentley.”
That can happen in the NBA, especially the Bentley part, although it would be considerably more than half-a-million dollars these days.
A couple years ago, the Houston Rockets were one of the favorites to win the NBA championship.
