Chapter 450 - Jake Vacations 2 (1/2)

Fortunately for Jake, the Olympics would begin just before the NBA season began, so Jake didn't have to worry about losing any official games and could easily compete in athletics competitions.

Jake had no hope of being chosen for this Olympic basketball team in 2000, after all, he knew that a young player had little chance of being chosen on a team that had Jason Kidd and Gary Payton he would not be chosen to play.

After all, besides the two being excellent players who played for many years in the NBA, they had experienced in the Olympic basketball team and that is why Jake didn't think it was fair that he should be chosen.

But he would try to be chosen in 2004 and was confident that he would be chosen if he won the NBA title by the Los Angeles Lakers team, until then if Jake managed to win 3 gold medals at the 2000 Olympics he would be an athletics legend.

In the early days in Miami Jake told his mother everything that had happened in the last few months and said his expectations for the film he had participated in, he also told her about Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne with whom he had befriended during filming.

Eva also told Jake several things about the restaurant, in fact, Eva's life in Miami was a routine of going to the restaurant every day and with a lot of work, luckily she and everyone who worked with her loved it and so they could continue happily.

Eva said that they changed the menu again that year just as she had already told Jake that she would, and as always the new menu was approved by customers, as always Jake was happy if Eva was happy.

After that Jake said he had bought a house in Los Angeles where he would play in the NBA and also that he had bought a car, Eva just said she wanted to see his house and his car in the future and Jake promised that he would take her to Los Angeles to see his house.

Eva believed in Jake and knew that he knew how to take good care of the money he had, even though she didn't know when money Jake had she knew it was tens of millions of dollars and she had never seen Jake spend it irresponsibly.

After Jake joined the NBA Eva knew that Jake would never again have money problems with the investments he had, she was proud to know that Jake was finally having a better life after working so hard.

Jake just stayed home with his mom resting a little at home where he could be at peace, but after two days Jake knew it was no longer time to rest when Coach Davis arrived in Miami.

Jake had already told Coach Davis that he would live in Los Angeles and Coach Davis intended to buy a house to live with his family there, after all, he had been living with his family for the past few years in a hotel that was close to Jake's university.

Jake had offered to buy him a house near North Carolina University and now he had also offered to buy him a house in Los Angeles or the coach's family could live in one of the servants' houses that Jake had in his mansion.

Even though it was called a house for employees it was much bigger than an ordinary house and had 3 bedrooms and was very good for Coach Davis' family to live in, after all, Jake could move and buy another house in another city when he changed teams and the Davis coach could not buy a home in several different cities.

But Coach Davis said it wouldn't be a problem because he had talked to his wife and he would buy a house in Los Angeles and then live in hotels elsewhere where Jake played in the NBA, the important thing was that his family had a home to stay in.

So Jake suggested that he buy a house in Miami because Jake himself would return to live in Miami in the future, but Coach Davis denied it because he knew that Jake would at least stay another 4 years in Los Angeles and after that, his daughter Lara who already had 10 years would be 14 years old and they would have no problem living in hotels.

Not to mention that with the salary Jake paid he could save to buy another house in another 4 years if he wanted to, Jake felt bad for Frank's family, but as Coach Davis had decided that there was nothing Jake could do about it.

Coach Davis had also already talked to the organizers of the marathon in Chicago and the registration of Jake and Zack was decided, after all, Jake had won in the last 3 years and even people in the sports media knew that Jake would be there.
