Since they are professionals, should pro athletes only look at money when choosing where to play? Some might argue that at their incomes, a few million dollars won't have an appreciable impact, so they should rather consider their fan base, hometowns, family, etc. What do you think?
I bring this up in light of Jeremy Lin's recent move to the Houston Rockets. Here's a guy that no team gave him a chance. Finally, the Knicks gave that to him and now he's leaving. Also, Lin has become a celebrity player with fans across the country. Knicks games air nationally while Rockets games get much less coverage, so he would be harder to follow. Do celebrities owe a debt to their fans?
You like Jeremy Lin a lot, Mr. Tang.
