Message: [QUOTE="Palatine, post: 4879718, member: 974"] I tried to verify that but couldn't. His contract numbers are under wraps. I actually read on one web site that the NBA portion of his deal was 2.5 million but it was only one report. He was signed as a free agent, so the rookie salary scale would not apply to him. So who knows? I have also red different numbers on his Sunoco money. It was as low as 775 thousand and as high as 1.5 milllion. Again, who knows? In any case, that is a fortune in his home country of Mali. It is second poorest country in the world. The average skilled worker’s annual salary is approximately $1,500, however, half of the Malian population lives below the international poverty line of $1.25/day. I certainly wish Adama all the success in the world. [/QUOTE]
