After not attempting a three-pointer in Portland‘s 103-100 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday, Moe Harkless now has mo' money.
The Trail Blazers forward has an incentive in his contract that states if he shoots 35 percent or better from beyond the arc, he would receive a $500,000 bonus. So with his three-point shooting average right at 35.1 percent before Portland's final game, Harkless did what any of us would: he didn't attempt a single three-point shot, finishing above 35 percent and claiming his bonus. Harkless played 22 minutes and scored 11 points, but he only took six shots, none of which were three-pointers.
Well aware that his bonus was on the line, Harkless actually didn't take a three in any of Portland's final four games. But while some of you may think Harkless was just being selfish, he apparently shared the wealth with his teammates by paying for dinner after the game.
Did you think Harkless would be so heartless?
