    If my agent were tarnishing my reputation with demands that I don't actually care about, I'd fire him in an instant. As long as Yi keeps Fegan on board, I'll assume he is ok with the strategy.

    Imagine being JJ Berea. You benefit with living the NBA life style, but you're the size of an average man so you get to blend in when you're out in public. A 6'9" black NBA player sticks out like a sore thumb.

    A major con is that at some point in your 30s you will have to find a new career.

    Once you are waived by a team, you can't do anything about it anymore.

    Tall professional athletes stick out like a sore thumb in a good way, though. Women want to be with them, men want to be like them.

    It would suck if you're Barea and you're a rich pro athlete and women still ignore you because you're short.

    So women ignore you because you're short?

    OP - Summers off

    What league are you talking about ??
    The typical NBA player even on a two week vacation is still working out .
    The average NBA player during the summer is in the gym for 3-4 hours as well as weight room.
    OP doesn't know what he is talking about.

    There is two cons to an NBA career -

    Your body breaks down , and either have knee replacements or hip replacements
    Your career is typically over at age 34.
