We here in Cle cannot wait for that day, basketball will be secondary. RuPaul and Wade better have his back…

In professional sports the athletes are taxed separately for each game they play based on the income taxes for that state.
So half of his games will be played in FL and won’t be subject to FL state income tax. The other games will be taxed at whatever rate is applicable in the various states.

Giving the reaction of the fans in Ohio, what’s wrong with asking for a police escort?

We all know by now the tax differences between FL and OH. And is he making under 10 mil? F*ck no. Stop perpetuating the myth.
