Nice

Loyalty 101...

"He started going back to school again, improved his grades, landed an opportunity with a nearby Indiana junior college and played a role in Vincennes winning the 2019 NJCAA national championship. He came to Wichita State to play for one coach, stayed through a coaching change, stayed through a pandemic, stayed through the transfer portal, won a championship and left as a fan favorite."

A lot of similarities to another Shocker guard who went undrafted and believed in himself.

Great article. I don't believe I had heard Craig's youth and high school back story. Impossible not to behind this young man all the way. And how many guys this day and age would have stuck it out at WSU with what Craig had to go through. That in itself is worth my admiration. No doubt an inductee in the WSU Shocker Good Guys Club.

Freddy getting that bag.

That's not a bag, that's a suitcase. Damn Fred absolutely knocked it out of the park. Couldn't happen to a better person.

Maybe we can get a couple FVV clothing line NIL deals

Fred is benefitting from Houston having a ton of cap space and the free agent market being pretty weak. He got a same year deal as Kyrie, but $5m more per year. Get some.

[Aargh]

That makes Fred the 12th highest paid player in the NBA and the 3rd highest paid PG. Not bad for a guy who was barely rated as a top-100 guy out of HS.

Paging Doug Gottlieb

[Eric]

Wow, that’s 3G’s annual salary per MONTH!

[Dan]

$130 Mill + $82 Mill past earnings = $212 Mill career earnings so far, excluding endorsements. Not too shabby.

[Kung Wu]

He's too short to play in the NBA

[forevershockerfan]

FVV, Not even drafted.
