Kyrie Irving, Brooklyn Nets NBA player, chose to sit out instead of vaxing and is giving up $33.33 million.

Sports star.   Who cares.

Other than his agent, I'm not sure. I've always thought he was overrated and a cancer for whatever team he was on, but I know there aren't many NBA fans/followers here.

There are a lot of people making vax-related sacrifices that don't make sense to me, but whatever. At this point, it is what it is for those who choose no. Nature always wins.

Money can't buy time and that's the one commodity we are limited to.  Money can buy you health in some circumstances but not all, not ultimately.  How you use your time can buy you health but only to a point.  Health is more important than money. 

I don't think I can say I lack anything.  If I was given alot of money, I'd give most of it away, probably all of it.  I'm debt free otherwise I would pay off debt.  I'd give some away to my kids but not much - they're doing fine.  And they need to make their own way.  I'd give to those organizations who are responsible with their own funds and are doing awesome work helping people help themselves.  And give to those who truly have been given the brunt end of the stick in life at no fault of their own.

I don't need nice stuff, although I do own a nice truck .  I don't buy expensive fishing stuff... my equipment does just fine.

I'm working on what to do with my time.... what's left of it. I'm 63 and although that's not OLD I don't have as many years ahead of me than I have behind me. 

And @fishinwrench if you love Taneycomo and fish down here, you better call me next time because I want to take you fishing!!

Mr Phil, you are just a baby! You have lots of time left to do Gods work! If you can't get the wrench to join you, just let me know. I would be honored to take his place!

Just let me know… I’ll trade for a bass trip. Sounds fun.

I don’t have sympathy for sports stars or any stars for that matter.

I have read the comments in this thread with a great deal of interest. There have been a number of very thoughtful comments and perspectives. I spent my life chasing the American Dream and was able to enjoy a number of special experiences that came my way. Golfing with Willie Nelson, adventure diving with Fijian Special Forces, fishing with Rick Clunn, and a lot of cool cars, to name just a few. 

But non of it matters much now except worshipping our Lord, my wonderful family and being grateful for all the good and learning to forget the slights. The greatest source of pleasure in life comes from being genuinely grateful.

If you and Wrench do make it happen, please make it a “one cast” video.  I gotta see this!
