Toronto Star: THIRD-STRING CENTRE (BASKETBALL)
Quote:
For example: Michael (Yogi) Stewart
The job: Show up, wear a uniform, sit in the front row at NBA games. Let's see, did we miss anything? Uhhh, no.
Perks: Sitting in the same row as Spike Lee and having lots of time to talk movies. "Hey Spike: `She Hate Me' — what was up with that?"
Toughest task: Justifying his $4.8 million salary in 2004-05, a legacy of former Raptor GM Glen Grunwald's decision to give the free agent a six-year, $24 million deal. Last season, Stewart got 145 minutes of court time, scoring 25 points while getting 32 fouls.
Quote: "I definitely haven't earned any of that money. I haven't really earned any money since I got here."
—Stewart in 2002 while still a Raptor

Hold onto your lunch--Stewart has made over $25M in the NBA.
Special thanks to HKF for doing the research.

He's probably Foyle's agent as well.

Re: Toronto Star: THIRD-STRING CENTRE (BASKETBALL)
After that deal was made it leaked that Grunwald owed Stewart's agent a favour.
For $24 mil, he prolly whacked a couple of important people for G-Wald.
JFK, Abe Licoln, Che Guevara, Kim Il Sung to name a few.
