US reporters can be as crappy as Sina reporters. I'm questioning Les's net worth(80min?) on the same page. USAToday Coaches Salary Report King's Coach Adelman's take AUBURN HILLS, Mich. - Kings coach Rick Adelman picked up USA Today on Wednesday and said he immediately realized he needed to make two phone calls. Adelman was incredulous to see himself named the NBA's highest-paid coach with a deal of $6.9 million this season and $20 million overall. He wasn't shocked enough to provide an accurate figure of his salary this season or the extension he signed Feb. 1. But Adelman said he was amazed a national paper didn't show more intelligence or responsibility. "After I saw that in the paper," he said, "I called the (Kings) office. But that was after calling my accountant. There's a lot of money I've been missing if that was right. I'm in Sacramento, not in New York. Why would anybody think I would be the highest-paid coach in the league? "My name has never even been mentioned in those circles. Shoot, I'd better check my next pay stub to see if something has changed that I don't know about. "You would think somebody would make a call to somebody and say, 'We're running this story, and we wanted to know if we were even in the ballpark.' Because they aren't even close on that one, and there are at least three or four others (coach's salaries) in there I know are wrong. It just blew my mind to read that."
"US reporters can be as crappy as Sina reporters" Don't you need like more than once example to make that comparison?
There are more than enough examples. Chad Ford, Steve Smith, Pete Vercey, the guy who reported "Lakers trade" before deadline,etc.
