Shawn Kemp is a prime example of getting the big money and not playing your
hardest (if any at all). Vin Baker is a close second. I think the next cba between
the league and players' union will focus on this loophole. I like to see
shortening the garanteed years of contract and a hard cap (a la NFL).

I think it is a credit to Antione that he is playing very hard.
