It's crazy how little g/d-leaguers make

When you consider that the teams don't have any fans and don't sell any merchandise it's really not that crazy.

I mean if the objective of the league was to earn a profit from merch and attendance it probably wouldn't exist.
and that is maybe the best "fact" the NCAA has to not pay players - there isn't much of a market for minor league sports in the US of A.

but back on topic, I applaud Pullen for taking his shot at playing in the NBA - It sounds like signing the 2 way contract limits his earning vs what he would make in Europe but at 27 it's time to give it a shot.

He is Two Way Contract candidate under the new roster rules. The Sixers still have one TWC available to use.

Don't know what any of that means, but if he plays and scores even one point in an actual regular season NBA game then I will be rough ridin' thrilled. Nobody deserves it more.



Saw 4 minutes of action in a regular season game against the Toronto Raptors in 12/23/17, and dumped in a career-high 2 points. Drink it in, fellas, our man is officially in the NBA record books. :cool:

Y'all gotta listen to the latest Boscoe's Boys podcast. Scott got Pullen and the interview is great, they pretty much touch on everything except for the Missouri benching as a freshman and If he knows who the hell Spencer Kietzman is. Jake tells a lot of great stories, it's over an hour of great stories from that era.

It's literally 90 minutes of Pullen telling stories from his 4 years here and how he felt and still feels about the Weber hire. Listen or don't but no one is summarizing that, lol.

Can you refresh my memory on the missouri benching?  I don't remember that.

We played Missouri right after breaking the streak against KU. If you remember, freshman Pullen was incredible that night. The very next game against Missouri Frank made a big deal about not playing Jake, he didn't play a single second, but he never told us why Jake didn't play, and we lost.

Could you imagine oscar benching Pack last year? I think somebody would literally burn the Ice Center to the ground.

I think the Bill Walker episode was more interesting, he is an elite story teller.

Frank did this with Angel against OU in '12 too.  Not sure if there was ever an explanation for that one either.

Frank was all about sending those messages and seemingly could care less if they cost us some games.  It was certainly frustrating at times but I think it helped to get the team to their best come March.
