Someone must pay.

But $1mil? I don't understand how this kid wants $250k for lost future earnings. I'm no lawyer but I don't understand how they prove he would have made money playing basketball when he's a 9th grader. And let's say he was guaranteed to be a pro, $250k is nothing for a pro player. Sounds like a totally arbitrary figure.
