    That video hit on all the points.

    Boron's lack of any system on offense or defense
    Boron's weird benching of Julius and Deangelo
    Boron's month long benching of Tarik Black for no reason
    Giving Kobe and Lou free reign to disrupt the offense and play no defense
    The love affair with Ronnie Price
    Still.At.The.Limit.

    What bad memories. So glad he's gone.

    How does he not have enough money saved up to afford his alimony payments after bamboozling so many teams to pay him millions throughout his career?

    I laughed when the article mentioned that he won't get paid for another year because all of the coaching vacancies and commentator spots are filled out. Lol, nobody's hiring you next year either Byron.

    But seriously though, $26,000 a month for alimony is ridiculous. If someone establishes a high paying career and then gets divorced, I can KINDA understand having to pay the ex-wife a little bit to get by for a year or two until she gets on her own feet. But having to maintain her rich lifestyle that she didn't earn is dumb.

    Welcome to California. The divorce scale is tipped so heavily in the woman's favor, you might as well not even show up to court if you didn't sign a prenup. I knew a guy who's wife made more than him, but he somehow ended up paying alimony. Not much, but some.

    I didn't laugh, but I do find it silly.

    First of all, he's got plenty of money. He's not struggling on his poor little 50,000 a month check. Second of all, this is all just boiler plate stuff. I'm sure his attorney turned all this stuff in and Byron just wants the fees reduced. It's pretty procedural.

    The really funny part though was the "there are no commentator positions open at this time". Oh there aren't? Really? I'm pretty sure if Kobe wanted that job, an opportunity would magically arise out of nowhere. Maybe they just don't have a position open for you Byron?

    He will get it reduced more than likely as that is a pretty substantial change in circumstances. There's no way he will pay nothing. Additionally, I'm not sure how long he was married to his ex-wife, but I believe if it's less than 10 years, then he will pay spousal support for half the length of the marriage..so he'll pay it for 5 years. If it's more than 10 years, then yes, he will have to pay spousal support until she passes away or he passes away, or maybe they signed a stipulated agreement that puts a cap on how many year he has to pay in exchange for something else? Who knows. Personally, I'm not going to laugh at this. I'm in this situation as we speak and it sucks. Granted, he is getting a s*** ton more money and he can clearly avoid to pay something....but as others said...this is fairly procedural and a reduction will take place.

    I'm in the middle of the same. If a number was reached based upon a particular income amount, and that changes downward, it's only logical support goes with it. No ex likes that, but it is what it is.
