The thing you have to understand about that is its a negotiation tactic. LaVar did it, too, but it was more effective for him. As a player if you get the fans behind you (along with the team players) then it will put pressure on the front office to meet your demands, because if they don't they will get negative press for it and morale may suffer. Its almost the only platform that a player has to use besides the field, and dont think agents know this and advise their players to say things like, "I want to be a lifetime ________".
