They make fortunes, but apparently nothing compares to the money that Lionel Messi pocketed in his last Barcelona contract, the one that just expired and that transformed the Argentine, at least for a few days, into the most coveted free agent in the world of football.

They are Kevin Durant, one of the top NBA stars who plays in the Brooklyn Nets, and Isaiah Thomas, who like Messi has just been released after a brief stint at the New Orleans Pelicans.

In the last hours both reacted when they saw in a Twitter post how much money the Rosario won in recent years as a Blaugrana.

And that Durant does not go around with little girls: his four-year contract with the New York franchise allowed him to deposit 164 million dollars in his bank account.

However, everything seems little with the 674 million dollars, also divided into four years of contract, that Messi won thanks to his extraordinary talent.

"My God, I have to get my kids into soccer, hahaha," wrote Thomas, who has been in the basketball mecca for 12 seasons and traversed the downward curve of a career that peaked at the Boston Celtics, where he averaged at his last year almost 29 points per game. 

OMG.

Durant, on the other hand, did not walk with ironies, but reacted with a "Crazy" to the publication on Twitter that spoke about the end of the link between Messi and Barcelona.
