It was fitting that Devin Harris rolled up to Bishops Bay Country Club on Monday afternoon in a cardinal red Maserati. The New Jersey Nets point guard just finished the first year of a five-year contract extension worth a cool $42 million so he can afford to drive a swanky Italian luxury automobile.
The fact it was red was where the news value could be found. It’s the dominant color of the University of Wisconsin, which is where Harris starred before leaving after his junior year and becoming the fifth player drafted in the 2004 National Basketball Association draft.
It’s also where Harris is returning to go to school. He said Monday he is planning to enroll for fall semester classes in an effort to get his degree in sociology. He’s 36 credits short.
