  1 billion dollars to live on sounds pretty darn good haha

• 23 Posted: Feb.7 at 12:21 pm
  And 17 billion dollars to charity sounds amazing. Id salute him for that. Forget basketball, that’s just heroic

  Right, hopefully this isn’t BS. Donating his personal wealth while taking office would set a nice precedent. Wish he was American.

  Something tells me David Stern will be endorsing the other candidates.

  Bahahahah this is hilarious 1) russia politics are about as fair as a venezuelan election…Have an opponent if you must , we all know who’s gonna win…2) Dude who sold this franchise to him? OBVIOUSLY dude’s head is elsewhere…the Nets are gonna suck for awhile…too bad..say goodbye to DWill..
  You guys can’t possibly beleive this dude..HE”S INVOLVED IN RUSSIAN POLITICS…you think USA politics are grimy…PLEASE read a book or even a pamphlet about RUSSIAN politics!! sheesh ppl…i know y’all do other stuff besides watch Ball! C’mon now!

  prokhorov has no chance, this is all rhetoric. putin needs to look like he has an opponent and prokhorov relies on the kremlin to keep his billions. westerners think he is an independent candidate because of his enormous wealth? the richer you are in russia, the more you are reliant on the kremlin and insider politics. putin isn’t going anywhere

  This guy is crazy, he wants people to be working 60 hour weeks. The third candidate, whatever his name was, could actually be the best choice, but it’s not gonna happen.

  treshiq, u r talking like the states is better. remember Bush and how all of of Washington trashed his presidential limo om his inauguration.

  man I so hope he would give 14 billion to charity – maybe there is some hope with the human race, I know this sounds a bit weird and hippy like but just think, there are starving people all over the word and a man with 14billion who just thinks “mer what the hell I dont really want it”!!!!????

  @ treshiq: Hugo Chavez was democratically elected and, at one point, had a higher approval rating than every American president in the last fifty years, tying John F. Kennedy. I’d say Venezuela’s democracy is just fine compared to America’s.

• Teddy-the-Bear Posted: Feb.7 at 6:02 pm
  of* the last fifty years.

• Putin Posted: Feb.7 at 10:04 pm
  That would be the best thing for the Nets. This guy has given up on them.

  Bill Gates for President! And 95% of his fortune given up so the cure for Cancer and Aids can be found.Still leaves him with 10 or so Billion.
