@mattbarnes: Larry Johnson looks back on the moment he signed one of the largest contracts in NBA history at the time, sharing what it felt like to reach that financial milestone after coming out of UNLV as one of the most hyped prospects the league had seen in years. He discusses what that deal meant for him personally and what it represented for players coming from his background. Johnson's account gives fans a fascinating look at the business side of basketball during an era when player salaries were beginning to reach levels that had never been seen before in the history of the league.
