While Greg Monore thinks he deserves a max contract, the Detroit Pistons (and almost everyone else) are quite sure that he isn’t worth that kind of money.

PGA Championship – Rory McIlory Proves He’s Special Once Again
The popular thing at the moment is trying to figure out just how great Rory McIlory can be by comparing him to the legends of golf, but simply focusing on the fact that he’s the best golfer in the world, winning the 2014 PGA Championship to make it two titles in that tournament and four majors over the last four years is enough to distinguish himself from the rest of the field.
