BTW, as Skyler gets older, he is more and more interested in West Point. I use that as a reason to demand he get good grades. How much pull do you have? Surely, your moniker must have made you some sort of demigod.

Excuse me? Please. He was a second round pick. You must not follow the NBA draft very much. Second round picks not only almost never become stars, but the vast majority never see any time on an NBA roster.

As I understand it, several NBA teams have expressed interest in bringing Travis on. He hasn't returned the interest. And really, why should he? He gets to be a star, and make more money, and be a hero figure, where he'd be a bench player in the NBA...

About 2 million per year. As well as his housing, two cars, nanny and plane tickets paid for.

I hope he is paid in Euros. If so, he's not only a pretty good B-ball player, but a financial genius.

Look at the Jazz salaries. They pay nothing.
