THIS IS NOT AN ENCOURAGING OR UPLIFTING STORY.
a man was leveraged out wages for his excellent labor bc NBA owners collude to keep GL wages down. The format of deprivation removes hundreds of great coaches from the pipeline& leaving only a few, the most connected & the privileged https://twitter.com/JLew1050/status/1318590810112274433">https://twitter.com/JLew1050/...

It& #39;s an absolute blessing to coach basketball for a living. But most coaches have to spend YEARS if a decade to get to a living wage. Who does that benefit? Why is it the only basketball pathway that there is the expectation of team service before personal sustinence?

& #39;I would kill for that spot& #39;, so redirect that intense energy towards the fucked up system that pits worker against worker in a race to the bottom - rather than the dudes steal from self checkout and live in their cars just to keep the dream alive cause a rich dude wouldn& #39;t CTC.

And in college it& #39;s worse. Those dudes at the end of the beach in P5 conferences are living on students swipes and bananas - and that& #39;s how the system is built: exploiting those who really love this shit enough to do WHATEVER to make it our 24/7 gig with food on the table.
