In response to jeromelh
Dana Dingle, Jordan's father, was a key piece in John Calipari's UMass team that beat the Allen-Maloney team 54-50 in 1993. He played European pro ball and now is a director of the NY Lightning AAU organization. While I have no idea of his income, I doubt that he or his family is suffering financially. But you can never blame a player from taking a good amount of money--the amount I heard Jordan received was disputed by NYChoops, who's opinion I respect, so I won't put down the numbers but it's pretty certainly 6 figures. He went for it--it doesn't appear to be working, but I doubt he reduced his marketability for European pro ball.
