Rudy Gay - Top 100

[UConnRock]

Rudy recently moved into the top 100 scorers in NBA history. Currently at number 99 having moved past Elton Brand at 100. Not sure how many years he has left, but he could pass some impressive players with a couple more years at 10+ per game.

Rudy has collected paychecks totaling over 150 million dollars. He will be paid 14+ million this year. There is much to said for having a long NBA career.

If he has been smart with his money, he can kick his feet up and do pretty much anything he likes.

Rudy always got paid. That was his super power.

So is that 5 alumni (gay, Allen, rip, Kemba, Drummond) with 100m+ earnings?

I know we have $1B+ in total NBA earnings...at least according to Rutgers

Yup, and Lamb might join them by the time his career is done. He'll have made $60M when his contract is up in a year, and he's currently making $10M/yr so I could see a 4 yr/40M contract for him

He has a chance. But I think he may have to survive a short term prove it deal. He misses a lot time.

Yes, but shouldn't he have returned for his Junior year, so he could win a BET game over Syracuse, a National Championship, and improve his NBA Draft position?

No, he should've accomplished all of that as a sophomore.

Hadn't given Jai Lewis a thought in years, but just looked him up. Dude didn't make bank, but did play for 9 international teams on 4 continents over a 10 year career, so he did see the world. And he shares a claim with Ed Nelson, with both of them having washed out as NFL tight ends in training camp. He's now a behavioral specialist in MD.

I don't know who all is on that list of 100, but Gay has to be in the top 2-3 most inconsequential scorers of the lot. Just like he was in college.

Fortunately for him he can cry himself to sleep over this opinion and dry his eyes with $100 bills

He's one of 3 (so far as I can tell) who never made an AS Game, along with Jason Terry and Eddie Johnson
