My Morning Coffee Mess
So today I was scrolling through hoops news, like I always do before my coffee cools down. Saw this headline flashing about Kevin Porter Jr. playing in Greece. Deadass surprised me. Thought he was still tied up back home. Grabbed my laptop instead of the toast – priorities, right? Needed to find out what’s really going on with his contract over there.
Started digging. My browser tabs? Looked like a war zone. Hopped between:
- A shady Greek sports forum (translate button worked overtime)
- A couple international basketball junkie Twitter accounts
- Some official-looking league pages (boring, but gotta check)
Took forever. Some sites claimed one year. Others screamed two. Felt like herding cats. My notes app was filling up with conflicting numbers and “probably”s.
The Actual Find
Finally hit paydirt on this legit Greek sports news portal buried in the search results. Not some fan blog. They confirmed it, contract terms laid out plain. Felt like cracking a code. Here’s the meat:
- He signed with Panathinaikos. Heavy hitters over there.
- Contract? One season. Just this year. No options, no extensions.
- Full details on incentives too – something about playoffs and individual awards. Won’t bore you with the fine print.
Cross-referenced it with two other local outlets. All said the same thing. Finally could shut down those twelve tabs.
Why Even Care?
Why waste a morning on this? Simple. People were straight-up inventing contract lengths. Saw fans debating on forums like it was fact. Annoyed me. How hard is it to check the actual sources instead of retweeting rumors? Reminded me of that time I believed a guy in a cafe about stocks – never again.
Anyway, feels good setting the record straight. He’s balling in Greece this season only. Everything else is hot air. Now, anyone need babysitting tips for grown men managing their contracts? Looks like I’m getting experience.
