Pryz is buying bling

Not sure if there's an online link but in the latest ESPN the Mag, there is a little section on a guy who sells tons of athletes their bling. He singled out Pryzbilla as buying the most for his wife and said her ring is 10 times nicer than most NBA player wives. Who knew?

Thank you!!!

I was wondering how far down I’d have to read before someone spelled his name correctly.

Maybe basketball just isn't your game. I know, let's have a spelling contest.

When J-Quick did his behind the locker room series? Przy was talking about how he got thrown out after tussling with somebody (Chandler? Boozer? somebody, can’t remember). He said he looked to his wife in the stands and she was shaking her head and thinking “how much is this fine going to cost us THIS time?”.

Sounds like a money grubber to me if she’s thinking about something like that.

That's a rough thing to say about a wife. He's not a superstar and needs to take care of his money.

Many become broke after thier playin’ days.

I'm not saying it is. It's just that relatively it doesn't blow you away.

No it doesn't

Sounds like the reaction anyone makes in a situation like that.

I didn't think Przybilla's wife is a gold digger when I heard that or anything

and none of us really know what she’s like to judge her. However, I did get that same impression too that the suspension was more of a loss of a payday.

The Kings have the best bench I’ve seen. There are easily 14 guys on this team good enough for every bench in the league. Now if we could only get some starters, I’d totally jizz in my pants.

I think the head shake was along these lines

A baby walks into a glass door and falls down, you cringe
A baby does it again, you think, “seriously?”
A baby does it a third time. You shake your head as if to say, “Why did you do that again?”

I don’t think the money is the issue, I think the fact that he got into yet another argument was. (Hopefully I explained that okay.)

I don't see any reason why his wife should sit there and cheer

when the testosterone gets the better of his judgment and he does something to get himself in trouble.

Could it be that she is just as invested in his success as he is? And if that is the case, could that mean that she doesn’t want to see him lose opportunities to help his teammates by getting kicked out of a game or suspended?

I don’t think any of us have the right to read into her motives the negative, unless you’re willing to look at the possible selfless reasons for actions as well. None of us know, so should we even go there?

J-Quick's article:

“What is that, $2,000?‘’ Noelle asked afterward. She didn’t know whether to laugh or roll her eyes at her 7-foot-1 teddy bear. "When he does that, I always call him and ask ‘How much money did you lose?’ ’’

Players are fined $1,000 for each technical. The money is automatically taken out of their paychecks, which arrive in an envelope on the 15th of each month.

Seriously? Guy grosses $6M+ a year and the first thing out of his wife’s mouth is “how much money did you lose?”

$1k fine on $6M annual salary equates out to be about 8 bucks for the average Joe Blow. Tell me why exactly she’s worried about that?

Because it's probably an ongoing thing of humor with those 2

Probably

Because she wasn’t born into a rich family & knows the value of a dollar. That will never change not matter how much Joel makes.

Gotta love Joel

The Blazers enforcer. He should spend his $ on bling.

some of the responses to this are a bit interesting.

I think Joel should get himself some bling

and maybe a fur coat. Then we could call him Joel Pryzbilla, Stoneface Killah who wears Chinchilla

Be nice to Pryzzy.

He can spend his millions on whatever he wants.
