There's nothing that can boost one's value more than a championship.
Just look at Alan Henderson from the Hawks, who went to the free agent market and signed a seven-year, $50 million contract directly.
Alan Henderson isn't bad, but is he really that strong? This season with the Vancouver Grizzlies he's only managed 13+7.
That's the premium a championship title brings you.
So today, Sprewell isn't just angry; he's fighting for his next contract.
He has no reason to lose.
He wants to win a big contract and make Roger and Pierce relive Kevin Garnett's classic moments!
On the other side, on the Hawks' half of the court, Paul Pierce is the center of attention tonight, with the camera giving him close-ups from time to time.
His series of bold statements on last night's live broadcast have won him extremely high popularity.
Pierce is excited too, because Lenny Wilkens has just agreed to let him match up against Sprewell.
