His father was from the village of Břasy near Plzeň, Bohemia (now the Czech Republic). The elder Kroc had made a fortune speculating on land during the 1920s, only to lose everything with the stock market crash in 1929.]]> 2017-12-07 14:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dezmen_dickerson/mm7i7eskln93/wish/214135971 dezmen_dickerson https://padlet.com/dezmen_dickerson/mm7i7eskln93/wish/214144056 2017-12-07 15:01:02 UTC https://padlet.com/dezmen_dickerson/mm7i7eskln93/wish/214144056 dezmen_dickerson https://padlet.com/dezmen_dickerson/mm7i7eskln93/wish/214149234 The NBA's four-time MVP returned to Cleveland in July 2014 and led the Cavaliers to the 2016 NBA title, the first in franchise history and the first major sports crown for the city in 52 years. He re-signed after the win for three more years in a deal worth $100 million. His $31 million salary in 2016-17 made him only the third NBA player to earn $30 million in a season after Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. It is the first time he's had the NBA's top salary during his 14-year career. The NBA's top pitchman added Intel and Verizon to his endorsement portfolio, which already included Nike, Coca-Cola, Beats by Dre and Kia Motor. His lifetime deal with Nike could net him more than $1 billion. James owns a production company, SpringHill Entertainment, with his business manager, Maverick Carter. The pair is also part of an investment group in Blaze Pizza with 17 franchises in Chicago and South Florida. ]]> 2017-12-07 15:09:20 UTC https://padlet.com/dezmen_dickerson/mm7i7eskln93/wish/214149234 dezmen_dickerson https://padlet.com/dezmen_dickerson/mm7i7eskln93/wish/214156034 After World War II, Kroc found employment as a milk shake mixer salesman for the foodservice equipment manufacturer Prince Castle.[10] When Prince Castle Multi-Mixer sales plummeted because of competition from lower-priced Hamilton Beach products, Kroc was impressed by Richard and Maurice McDonald who had purchased eight of his Multi-Mixers for their San Bernardino, California store, and visited them in 1954. Kroc became convinced that the concept and design of this small chain had the potential to expand across the nation.[citation needed]
Having been in approximately one thousand kitchens, Kroc believed the McDonald brothers had the best-run operation he had ever seen. The restaurant was clean, modern, mechanized, and the staff professional and well-groomed. Roadside hamburger restaurants were more often than not hangouts for motorcycle gangs and rebellious teenagers, and Kroc saw in McDonald's a better vision for a restaurant. He once said "In my experience, hamburger joints are nothing but jukeboxes, pay phones, smoking rooms, and guys in leather jackets. I wouldn't take my wife to such a place and you wouldn't take your wife either." Kroc also believed the hamburger was more aesthetic than the hot dog and lent itself better to the mechanized fast food industry he envisioned]]> 2017-12-07 15:20:35 UTC https://padlet.com/dezmen_dickerson/mm7i7eskln93/wish/214156034 dezmen_dickerson https://padlet.com/dezmen_dickerson/mm7i7eskln93/wish/214157306 No. 23 – Cleveland Cavaliers
