THE BOSTON CELTICS suffered a 98-100 loss to the Indiana Pacers last night but they still conjured a magnificent moment when Jae Crowder sunk one from 94-feet.
Unfortunately for him, his attempted inbound (he was trying to find Jared Sullinger under the basket), carried all the way instead of dropping short. So, despite it being one of the best shots we’ll see all season, the points didn’t count because Crowder was out of bounds when shooting.
Even still, it hasn’t stopped us from watching this about a hundred times.
Excellent!!great to see him getting financially rewarded for his talent
@Jamie: give it a break lad.
@Barry Ward: what?
Your chip on the shoulder you have against the GAA!

@Ruairi Kinsella: ruairi I had to think about that one. Fair play to him anyway. Wouldn’t we all like to have the ability to do it and get paid for it. Beats what I do for a living anyway.
What sort of financial figures do minors converting AFL Get?
@Christiaan Theron: 100% more than what they’d get staying with the GAA
@Christiaan Theron: I think rookies get a minimum AUD$70k. Tadgh Kennelly was quoted as saying the Irish kids going out are on standard contracts of AUD$80k with flights, rent and a car taken care of for 2 years. After that they’d hope to be on a senior list and earning something close to the league average of AUD$300k, but I’d guess that average is skewed high by the elite players wages.
