Hmmmmm. Dennis rodman was playing for the San Antonio Spurs when he painted his hair and became famous. When he moved to the lakers he was already famous (or notorious). You could say that it is an unimportant mistake, but it seems rather silly, considering they actually have pictures of rodman in a san antonio spurs uniform illustrating their point about how he played for the lakers.
- philwelch 17y agoHe played less than a season for the Lakers. He played three seasons with the Bulls, winning three championships next to Michael Jordan. I wonder how much correlation there is between attention-seeking behavior and high salaries among professional athletes. Do Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco actually make more money than equally talented but more workmanlike wide receivers?
- caffeine 17y agoProbably about the same as the correlation between attention-seeking behavior and money for pop stars :) I think the system works similarly - a face gets turned into a trademark and a 'flavor', which is used to sell stuff to people. But poor people don't make good flavors, which is why they have to be paid a lot. Being 'different' certainly has something to do with it. If the loudmouth-alpha-guy market is saturated, maybe by addressing the totally-insane-guy market you can get picked up to fill that niche. It's much like high school social dynamics, to be honest; everybody has to find their own part to play, with the price of failure being utter insignificance, and (low) compensation to match.
