Clearly, with that much dough, you could do an awful lot and still have plenty left over. Yet nowhere on that list does it say anything about curing a rare eye condition like the one baby Tatum, daughter of veteran NBA guard Derek Fisher, is living with.

This past week, Fish asked the Utah Jazz out of his contract (one with three years and $20.6 million left on it) so he could move his child to a city with more suitable medical care. “Life for me,” Derek told reporters earlier in the week, “outweighs the game of basketball.” Though the decision itself isn’t anything more than what all good dad would do for their kids, it’s so refreshing to hear about it coming from someone with so much (potentially) to lose on the financial end. Man, I wish Derek and the Fisher Family well on their heavy-hearted journey towards recovery.
