Chapter 493 Making trouble (please subscribe)
"He is Joely Kings. He has signed a three-month short-term contract with the Knicks. He is a talented guard who once scored 24 points in a single game. , but a real thorn in the side, causing trouble on and off the court, getting into fights, driving drunk, and is said to have some connections with gangs.
After coming to the Knicks, he only played a few minutes in garbage time, and he had a reputation off the court. , even louder than on the court, the Knicks fans are calling for the layoff of Joely Kings.
Maybe tomorrow, the Knicks will abandon him, and this guy, damn. He is a big talker who speaks without thinking. He has made many shocking jokes.
Are you sure this is the guy you are looking for? ”
Sitting next to Larson was the director of a top headhunting company in America. He couldn't help but confirm to Larson.
Larson did look at Jory Kings, who was sitting next to the water fountain, with an expression on his face that looked like he owed him millions of dollars.
“He claimed the flat earth theory in the media, didn’t he?” Larson asked.
These words made the director of the headhunting company confused. When he looked at Larson, he couldn't help but look weird.
"Yes, his remarks that time were also reported by Sports Illustrated, TNT and other media, which made the outside world begin to question how many NBA players have the same brains as Jory Kings It’s the same..."
Larson didn't care what the media said about Jory Kings, and said to the headhunter on the side, "Sign him for me, and also make sure that the Knicks can't lay him off, and that Jory Kings can't leave the NBA!"
......
The game on the court was amidst cheers. The Knicks defeated the winning Bulls with 32 points. The Knicks in the regular season, under the leadership of star Ewing, plus At home, the fighting power is very strong.
This game is also a rare defeat for the Chicago Bulls this season, and it is a disastrous defeat. In the previous life this year, under the leadership of Jordan, the Bulls actually set a record of 72 wins and 10 losses. This record, dozens of Years later, it was broken by the Golden State Warriors.
The Golden State Warriors have also become one of the most highly valued teams in global sports leagues, becoming an out-and-out money printing machine.
After the game, the Knicks players and the fans at the scene were all cheering, as if they had won the championship. Beating the Bulls, even in the regular season, was enough for NBA teams to celebrate.
But the cheers on the court have nothing to do with Jory Kings. He is just a fringe player. Coupled with his thorny attributes, his character is not able to bend down and give to You. Because he is the younger brother, this makes him seem a little out of place.
"Get out of the Knicks!"
"The Knicks are better without you!"
I walked back to the locker room alone, passing through the tunnel, Jory Kings can still hear the abuse hurled at him by the fans.
He has long been accustomed to this. Regardless of the Knicks' record, being in New York, the world's largest metropolis, they naturally have huge exposure, and the team's valuation ranks first among NBA teams all year round.
The performance of any player will be reported under the microscope by the media. A notorious player like Jory Kings will definitely be taken care of by the media, regardless of whether he has done anything or even been on the court. Not playing a game, as long as the Knicks lose and there is a scandal, the media will pull him out and beat him up.
Even Joely Kings sometimes wonders if the Knicks signed him just to give fans and the media an outlet to focus their firepower on him.
Before, when he heard this kind of abuse, Joely Kings responded a few words and raised his middle finger, but now he doesn’t dare because he has no money, just like most NBA players. He spends money lavishly and can't save much at all. If he is fined by the league again for provoking fans, then Jory Kings will probably lose the payment for the apartment, and he may really become a homeless man.
A man returned to the locker room and began to pack his things silently. Jory Kings was ready to be waived by the Knicks.
Jolly Kings was packing his things and had just put the big gold chain around his neck, when suddenly his cell phone rang.
"Jory, come here right away. It's at the cafe outside the stadium. I don't care where you are or what you are doing. Get the hell over here right now!"
The agent came from the phone pier. Joely Kings is not afraid of anyone's voice, but he doesn't dare to provoke his agent, because he can really decide his own job. The three-month contract with the Knicks was won by his agent. Offending his agent means that he is completely unemployed in the NBA.
Nowadays, major basketball leagues around the world have not started recruiting foreign players. Even if they do, it is estimated that whether marginal players like Jory Kings can go to the European Basketball Championship and the Asian Basketball Championship will be both. explain.
Once the NBA loses its job, it is a certainty that it will go bankrupt within a few months based on Joely Kings’ previous consumption level.
Joely Kings ran all the way to the coffee shop and saw his agent, who was chatting and laughing with two well-dressed white men. Of course, Joely Kings’ agent was also a white man and was now an African-American agent. Man has not risen yet. Although there are more and more African-American players in basketball, football, rugby, hockey, ice hockey and other competitions, the agents, team owners, league executives and presidents of these players are still old white men. Those African-American players, Still working for these old white men.
“This is Jory!”
Jory Kings introduced Jory Kings to Larson, “Although Jory has been misunderstood by some media Report, but I believe in Jory’s talent, he has the talent of the best shooting guard in the NBA, and he only needs one chance to become an NBA All-Star!”
Listen to what Jory Kings agent is saying! Touting, selling Larry Kings to them, Larson interrupted.
"Jory, do you support the flat earth theory?" Larson asked Jory Kings with a serious face.
Jolly Kings, who had just sat down, was obviously stunned when he heard this question, and looked at his agent unconsciously. He had said the flat earth theory before, but was ignored by the NBA media. Much ridiculed.
But Jolly Kings’ agent was a little confused at this moment and didn’t know how to give him a hint. After struggling for a while, Jolly Kings nodded bravely.
Seeing Jory Kings nodding, Larson smiled and put his hands on his palms, "Jory, no matter which media interviews you in the future, you have to say this. You should stick to your own ideas. Believe in your vision and intuition. A real man never flinches or questions himself. Believe that I am the truth!”
After giving Joely Kings a shot of chicken blood, Larson took out a A contract, "an exclusive signing fee of US$100,000 per year, a total of three years of agreement. After three years, Himalayan America Company has the priority to renew the contract, and the signing fee can be negotiated."
When he heard about the contract worth one hundred thousand dollars, Joely Kings couldn't help but breathe heavily, and so did his agent. In this season, although there are star contracts with salaries of tens of millions of dollars in the NBA, among them, the rich and powerful Knicks give it to the leading star. Ewing offered a two-year contract of US$21.72 million, becoming the first star in NBA history with an annual salary exceeding US$10 million.
But there are only a few Ewings and Jordans in the entire NBA. Most of the well-known stars are already All-Stars if they can earn an annual salary of one million. The annual salary of most league players is still tens of thousands. Calculated in units.
A signing contract of one hundred thousand dollars, to be honest, is really not low, for a water cooler player like Joely Kings.
“What do you need me to do?!”
Although he wanted to take the money, Jolly Kings was still a little wary and asked Larson.
He was a bastard, but he was not a fool. Although he was related to gangs, he knew his identity. Jolly Kings never touched the things that put him in federal prison.
"The first thing is, stay in the NBA, they will help you, you must have the status of an NBA player!"
Larsson pointed to the director of the headhunting company beside him, and Jory Kings' agent, Jory Kings' identity as an NBA player is very important. With this identity, he can use the influence of the NBA league to get twice the result with half the effort.
“The second thing is that we will provide recording equipment. You will publish three podcasts every week, with no less than half an hour of podcast content. You can talk about your flat earth views, your opinions, and more. With evidence, you can convince more people
You can even establish the Flat Earth Religion and make more people become your disciples and believers. Of course, you can also record other views, but only if they are unique to you. , something different from ordinary people, let the world recognize your philosophy and thoughts! ”
After hearing Larson's words, Joely Kings couldn't help but ask, "Is it that simple?"
Every week, several times a week, he talked about mountains and talked about his flat-earth views. You can get 100,000 U.S. dollars per year. This kind of money is much easier to get than going out to fight with a bunch of rough guys.
Larson nodded, "But if the recording is delayed, according to the agreement, your salary will be deducted..."
"I have too much to say, what do you want? Speak to the world!" Jory Kings took over the contract and muttered as he signed it.
Seeing Jory Kings sign and press his fingerprint, Larson took the contract. After getting Jory Kings, Larson rushed towards Los Angeles without stopping to ask for Signed a UFC commentator known for his wit and comedy.
In addition, Larson also needs to sign several depressed hip-hop rappers, a housewife with some experience, and a newly emerging modern poet named Blanco. , Larson is ready to sign them to Himalayan Radio as podcast creators.
Larson doesn’t know whether he can praise them and make Himalayan website famous in Silicon Valley, but these people were carefully selected by Larson in accordance with Li Dongling’s requirements. Yes, it depends on what they can do!
