Alonzo Mourning: Listen—the owner of the team, George Shinn—you know, he paid (Larry Johnson). And I was next up, you know? My agent said, “Hey, I can get you this with five different teams. You just got to choose which team you want to play for.” I said, “No, I want to stay in…”—I wanted to stay in Charlotte. And David Falk said—he said, “I don’t think Charlotte’s going to pay you this number.” And I said, “Well, you know, I’ll take less money to stay.” So we started having conversations with George Shinn. And he said—uh, and these were his exact words: “You’re not worth that.”
