Product placement

NBA: This is the league the video is about. It appears as a logo on a phone screen and on jerseys. Removing it would change the topic of the video. It acts as the context for the discussion. Golden State Warriors: This is the team Andre Iguodala played for. It appears on his jersey. Removing it would not change the video's content. It merely appears.

I remember I turned down $60M on my extension. It was just $60 back then. Yeah. Yeah. I turned it down. I'm worth $80M. $80M at least. And the equipment manager was like.. Well do you need all that money?? I said well d*mn. Like that.. that's how. That's how your interactions become that.. With people you work with.. With the fans. That's what f*cks me up. You go from being.. The best liked person.. To now.. The narrative just. Burning jerseys. Kicks in. And nobody knows.. WTF is going on.
