Shaq, Kobe vs Federer, Sampras.

Posted by tennisplanet on July 21, 2010

With a career spanning 18 years, Shaq has earned – just a salary – of $290 million. Federer: $56 million over 12 years. Sampras: $43 million over 14 years.

Shaq earned Federer’s salary (12 years) in about 3 1/2 years. Sampras’s: (14 years) 2 1/2 years.

And Shaq is not even close to being the GOAT of basketball. Kobe gets there in two years.

It’s called Food Inc. Sure you may have heard about it, like I did, but bet you haven’t seen it, like me – until now.

Go to your village video store and rent it today. Or you can watch it on You-Tube. Here’s part 1 of 11. Just keep going.

To illustrate it a bit more graphically, here are some photo links:

Fed: http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/09uA4415Rq0VX/800x.jpg
Delpo: http://cache.daylife.com/imageserve/0d8bfLs6p51hR/610x.jpg
Djokovic: http://www3.pictures.gi.zimbio.com/Olympics+Day+3+Tennis+cthzUuV5iGWl.jpg

A good indicator as to how extreme a grip is, is to look at the position of the thumb. With Fed you can see that his thumb is almost gripping around the racquet towards the bottom. With Delpo and Djokovic the thumb is pretty much at the top of the racquet. They use the full Western grip (as does pretty much everybody else).
