Is he now broke?

 

[MJ Truth]

Is he now broke?

Nah. He's still getting paid from that contract in fact.

 

[Formerly known as...]

Nah. He's still getting paid from that contract in fact.

Damn!

 

[FAH1223]

Nah. He's still getting paid from that contract in fact.

They stretched that $90M out. He signed that contract in 1998 or 1999 if I recall.

 

[MJ Truth]

They stretched that $90M out. He signed that contract in 1998 or 1999 if I recall.

Yeah, he said in some other interview that part of the contract got stretched and he was still owed money. The way he said it though made it seem like he was having to fight to get the rest of it so I'm not 100% sure. Nothing about him makes it seem like he's hurting for paper at all though, despite all of the things that happened in his life (being out of the league so long, alcoholism, a divorce I assume with children, taking care of so many people, obviously the payout from the murder, etc).

That the part I heard on my way to work yesterday.

He said if they knew you were gonna be drafted, the players already in the league, would loan them money. Oakley was like "I'll give u 20 thou, and you'll pay me 25 thou back"
