    Yeah, but he's white, has a p*rn star mustache, and cries like a 6-year old, so it's understandable for him.

    He has to live with the fact of being in the shadow of a pretty and more talented wife.

    Is that such a bad thing? Some guys prefer keeping a low profile and at the end of the day, she's going home with him. Relationships shouldn't be a petty contest.

    I know Marvin had potential, but still was a stupid move, especially considering the roster already had young athletic high ceiling guys at the same position. The franchise should be way better than it has been.

    where's the competitive nature? I agree with normal relationships. but shelden has never lived up to anything. They should really get together and she should train with him and work on his post game. What a joke....

    good for you.

    Like those stupid WNBA commercials keep on reminding me, the WNBA and NBA game is the same, three random women are just as good as Kobe, Rondo, and Lebron. If he trains with Candance, he'll be GOAT!

    You can thank me.

    By the way, have any NBA fans crossed over to the WNBA yet?

    clearly a disguised hating post. We are talking about improving not becoming the best. Helping out the Celts in his 3-5 minutes in some of the games. no matter what he does the point is he's never done anything.

    Even being a total scrub, he still makes a lot more money playing basketball than she does.

    That's a shame. Although she makes more when you factor in her endorsements

    Why is Shelden Williams not working with Hakeem Olajuwan to make himself a star?

    read an article about Lisa Leslie makes 50K and the most you can make is 100K in the WBA. There is a chance to make more in the future.
    I mean compare it to what those girls in the tennis circuit make.....
    Kournikova.....Sharapova....Williams' sisters

    Note that I said playing basketball. I'm not sure how much money she makes in endorsements, but here is an article about her WNBA salary when she first came into the league:

    http://www.wbir.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=56576

    It says that as the first pick in the draft, she made about $44k. Even if she made ten times that in endorsements, she's nowhere near what Sheldon Williams got as a top 5 pick in the NBA. Actually, that wouldn't even put her up to what he's making this year (about $800k).
