To the question on whether 50k is a significant motivation for the Pro Bowl players? Well, I did a precursory average salary of the rosters, and it was a tad above 3 million. Now, this takes into account the premier players in the league on one end, versus players just coming into notoriety–so it’s statistically skewed.

That said, if you divide the regular season into that figure, it’s 200k, per game. Thus, the Pro Bowl is worth about 1/4 of their regular weekly salary. For us mere mortals, 50K is a lot of scratch, and for players new to the league it might amount to something–but for established stars, not so much. It’s the amount they designate, per their wife’s request, for their lazy brother-in-law to do a kitchen/bath renovation….

Look likes the new format works. Good luck Roger Goodell in the next city and when it fails, hope Hawaii Tourism Authority remembers and doesn’t allow Roger to hold is hostage any more.

#37 Jeezy,

Agree that a true center would be great. But this team reminds me of the versatility of our bigs to play the center position. Kind of like the Miami Heat! Haha.

41. Yeah, someone who can protect the rim… The way the new college rules works with the fouls, less chargers and you need someone who can block, alter shots inside.

I agree the UH Mens BB team probably needs to recruit a true center…if not, an athletic 6-9 power forward with hops. So good to see the MBB team doing so well.
