I don't believe this for a second, even though these guys make a lot of money and a lot of them aren't too smart, even Sheed knows 5 million dollars (MLE) is a lot to turn down. Let's be real, playing basketball isn't work, and most of these guys have never had a job in their lives and never will, playing a sport for 7 months and getting 5 million dollars is something only the most foolish of humans rejects.
