Do NBA players have any equity ownership in teams (or the NBA)? Could teams offer some (or let them buy in) as a perk to get the best players? I’m surprised players don’t have big ownership stakes (& have salaries capped)—they’re the ones who have leverage b/c they own demand!

Why it worked

Opens with a question, so the reader starts answering before they have decided to read.
Follows a clear Hook → Context → Landing shape, so the reader always knows where they are.
The opening line stands alone, so it reads completely before the post is expanded.
Written from experience rather than as advice, which is harder to argue with.
Short enough to read in full without expanding, which removes a step before the point lands.

The mechanics

Hook: Opens with a question
Structure: Hook → Context → Landing
