nothing is wrong with that. Me personally will want to own the team vs just having 5%. So it depends. So yes both people can live in comfort but still different. Unless your hit that billions your still not super wealthy. For me rings is a life experience. But Cole winning 2 rings vs Wade winning 2 rings dont have the same ring to it. Its like Shaq looking down on Howard ring with Lakers. Plus once you win the ring then what? once you start playing with big money now your talking Skyscrapers, Shopping Malls/centers, Mega yachts, building schools, owning sport teams, communities etc. Lets say i just want to live a simple life and content with just 50mil I would rather make 20 more people rich than winning a ring. i would pay the tuition of persons trying to be a doctor lawyer, scientist, etc. Help homeless and mental health. It dont mean i dont or wont strive to win rings it just that i wont put it over money unless its to make more money.

Cole Legacy and Wade legacy not the same. So in his case on the topic with Harden I would rather take the money and not win as the 1st option than win and have less money and win as the 8th man. If i am not as good and can make 50 mil as the 7th man and be a member of a championship team i would be content. But dont give me the option of making significantly more.

Buss Legacy vs MJ Legacy ? which one? both won rings and both help grow the game. Cole 50mil and 2 rings not in their league.
