Why are you linking that? You said AVERAGE income. That's median. The median income is significantly lower than the average income.

Your claim was patently false and wrong.

Personally, I think Henry's pro game has gone about as I expected.  As to his 'one and done' decision, I think we mostly saw that coming in.  Look, Henry's brief stint here at MU will always be remembered for providing MU nation with a brief relief from what was an otherwise forgettable early Wojo rebuilding era.  Each side got what they needed out of it.  And then each side moved on.  Of all of MU's NBA players, I'm most indifferent about Henry.  A MU rental.  I wish him the best.

Agreed, and if our forgettable portion was one year (two if you include Buzz's last year) it's not that bad. Henry's time here was fun, even if we didn't reach the heights we hoped. I'd rather see him succeed, but I don't feel as vested in him as say Crowder, Butler, DJO, Wes, or future possible pros like Markus, Sam, and Cain.

Seems like HE made the right decision.  It wasn't hard to see he didn't have the lift, quickness, or shooting.  I think we can agree some time in Europe is pending.   I wouldn't rule out a second NBA stint after Europe time.

Not relevant. We're talking AVERAGE, not median.

Median= half above, half below
Average= combining all and dividing by the number being included.     

As it pertains to income, the average in America is far higher than the median due to all the billionaires.

That the average is higher is actually a worse statistic for anyone that doesn't think we have extreme income disparity in this country.

Naturally.

Did Henry hit for 21 last night or was I dreaming?

That's not what brew said at all JB.  He said average american household.  In my mind that meant that he meant 1/2 households better by number, 1/2 worse.  Of course those that are better can be way, way better.  And now that brew has even come back to clarify exactly what he meant to say, you still won't let it go.  Seriously dude, go look in the mirror for once.

I think Sam Hauser is a better all around player than Henry, but what do I know.

You really like to complain a lot, don't you? I'm sorry if my initial post was misleading. Bottom line, the MEDIAN family based on current dollars would be able to sustain themselves for decades on $3M.

Both measures of central tendency

And if this helps JB whine less, Henry's $3,000,000 would be the equivalent of over 40 years of the AVERAGE household income of $73,298. So yeah...decades and decades of money. If you can't stretch that much money for at least a good long while, you just suck at life.

That's assuming Henry is living with that type of plan or investing as opposed to hitting up fancy clubs, living in a massive house and putting a lot of that 3million toward that stuff.

You're 100% wrong.  There are many types of averages.  Median is an average.  So is mean (which you are calling average as that is what lay people think).  There is also mode. 

In addition there are several types of different weighted averages.

For a person that harps on stats so much, you apparently don't understand some very basic terms.

This.....is getting good.

The average American household makes less than $60,000 per year, so that money would get you about 50 years of middle class living. If you manage it wisely, that money would get a single person a long, long way.

$3 million at 60k per year is 50 yrs of income.  Oh lord who is giving u financial advice. 

[brewcity77]

i hope so, but not to sound smug err anything, $3 mil at age twenty-something really isn't going to go very far.  someone will want him for something-from everything i've seen and heard, he's a good ole wholesome, sharp guy

Let's not forget this is what started the debate. If HE is an idiot and blows through his money, if he spends instead of investing, if numerous different what ifs, sure the money could be gone quick.

If he's not stupid, invests well, and lives within his means, that money could easily last decades, even after taxes.

To everybody, Henry will be making a living somewhere at 22 years of age, if not the NBA, he will be great in Europe, so if he is smart, he will have even more money
when he retires at between 30-35, life for him will be good, most college kids are in debt after college, he has at least a $3M head start.  The worst case, he goes back
to school, which he should be doing to get in the coaching field someday or whatever his interests are.

He should invest in restaurants.   That's a good, long term investment strategy for ex-athletes.
