With that said, the question must be asked: With so many players drafted in the NBA and getting contracts later on as well, why have they not gotten any major donations from those players?
I know UCLA has gotten major gifts from their bball players (Westbrook being most recent) and UA has gotten major gifts as well.
Player Earnings from UW:
Brandon Roy: $83 million
Nate Robinson: $25 million
Spencer Hawes: $34 million
Quincy Pondexter: $9 million
Terrence Ross: $8 million
Isaiah Thomas: $9 million
Jamal Crawford (honorary): $85 million
Jon Brockman: $3.5 million (doesn't include overseas earnings from last 4 years)
Tony Wroten: $3.5 million
Total: $260 million in NBA earnings. (That doesn't even include Romar, who hasstolenearned around $19 million in his time here)
Your problem isn't a Bball facility or attracting top talent. Your problem is that you don't do shit with the talent you get.
And a fancy gym isn't going to fix that. -
I heard PLU's Olson Auditorium could be available.
Romar could drive his short bus down to Parkland (fighting the I-5 southbound traffic in the afternoons), have the guys that are renting his program out practice (or just fuck around and not practice defense, rebounding, not fouling, free throws, and inbounds plays), then pack em all up in the short bus again and take them for a ride along South Tacoma Way where the fellas could stop by every Asian massage parlor before getting on I-5 northbound at 9pm each night for the ride back to the dorms. -
I'm pointing out that Romar sucks in another area of his job. For all the love his former players have for him you'd expect he would have been able to get some of them to help raise funds for the facility.salemcoog said:

I'm going to build a practice facility. It's going to be great. Really great. A beautiful practice facility. And we're going to make Mexico pay for it

Westbrook was rumored to have given between 1-3million of the $50-$60M. The large bulk of the money (for both FB/BB practice facilities) came from a rich Jewish guy (Mo Ostin and Casey Wasserman).
Get yourself a rich Jew list. -
