The Mayor
There weren't many winners outside of Boston in the famous Nets-Celtics trade that sent Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to Brooklyn, but it's safe to say that Spencer Dinwiddie is one of them. From nearly out of the league entirely to a $54 million contract extension, Dinwiddie is quite the story. The former Nets' guard is the classic example of someone who just needed the right amount of time and opportunity. Luckily for Dinwiddie, that came in Brooklyn. The team didn't have any draft picks or real avenues to improve the team. They were in desperate need for an infusion of talent, so they began taking shots on players in the G-League, or anyone who never got the chance to shine.Â
Dinwiddie's career took off in Brooklyn under head coach Kenny Atkinson, which he parlayed into a nice payday in the nation's capital. Off the court, finances has always been atop the mind of Dinwiddie, who has tried to change the way the NBA does contracts at least once before. He has advocated for players to be allowed to adopt a stock market like contract, where fans can buy and sell stock in a player, thus driving up their value. It's not surprising for the cryptocurrency enthusiast, who was an early adopter of Bitcoin, to dream of new ways to reinvent the financial aspect of a sport he loves. As someone that also managed to score a 14oo on his SAT's, don't doubt Dinwiddie on or off the court.Â
