Gone in an Instant: The Antoine Walker Story.

[Sunalmighty]

i'm not gonna lie to you - i don't know if i could blow through a $100 million even if i tried. i'd take care of moms and like 4 other family members, pay off student loans/debts, get me a nice-sized crib and a car and stash the rest away.

i'd still be shopping for groceries at walmart early in the morning for their low prices and still be hitting up restaurants that have happy hour food and drink specials. fukk all that baller shyt

I've never had that kind of money, but it would be impossible for me to blow. I'm too responsible

Plus the nikka was a slumlord, too


Dude is a straight up pure-blood degenerate piece of shyt, so being broke was always in the cards for him

 

[Majestic Pape]

bro...110 fukking million. you lying if you say you can comprehend how they lose that much because they pay taxes...

this dumbass antoine walker said he was buying 150k watches... your phone gives you the time for 120 bucks a month + more

i can understand being broke and trying to stunt like you got it to impress hoes but being rich and trying to stunt when hoes can just google your net worth is stupid and retarded.

This has always been my thing.

I understand if you have to fake like you're rich because you're really broke to get the attention. And I can understand being flashy when you're rich but nobody actually knows who you are. But if you're a fukking world famous athlete, do you REALLY have to do all of the flossing so everybody knows who you are and shyt? You don't need to flash to attract bytches, they coming at you REGARDLESS.

As a Celtics fan, I'll always have love for Antoine regardless of the dumbass decisions he has made (on and off the court). He was easy for people to hate because of his style of play, but once upon a time he was a hell of a player. One of the best ball handling/passing forwards ever. If he ever wanted to play the right way, he could have been a problem but instead he was a the other kind of problem lol.

All in all I obviously don't know him personally but I always got the impression that he was a genuine dude and he had a lot of heart when he was with the green. He earned his spot in 06 too, he lost some weight and played well in big moments for Miami. Then 07 came and he started gaining more weight (again) than ever before.

That sight of Antoine and Ricky Davis in the D-League a couple years ago But I wish Toine luck in the future and I'm definitely gonna check this documentary out.

I remember back in the day me and my homeboys was at this bytch spot we knew
and we all sitting on the couch smoking watching ESPN
one of my peoples dead ass straight face came out and said Antoine Walker the greatest basketball player he had ever seen
I think everyone in New York Citys high was killed after he said that shyt

By all accounts people are saying he was an insanely generous dude who was very loyal to his people, friends, family, etc.

I'm rooting for the breh. Even Boston cacs revere dude. Clearly he's a good dude.

I hope things ultimately work out great for him.

That's because he is NO LONGER an economic threat nor in a position of power. It's EASY for a cac to embrace dude now.

Regardless of how much money you have, there are products and salesmen waiting to walk you to the poor house. It's easy to say what you would or wouldn't do if you had his money, but realistically, having 110 million is harder to manage thank 100k.

When you have 110mil, no matter what you buy, it feels like the money never stops. Oh, I bought a 250k watch, money still pouring in. Then all of a sudden that income slows or stops and it's a shock. I could totally see him feeling invincible until that last penny.

They aren't necessarily doing it for other people. When you have bread like that, you want nice stuff for you too. That Ferrari poster you had on the wall can be yours now. It's not always about impressing other people, it's about being able to buy high dollar luxury items in bulk.

 

[Scottie Drippin]

When dudes say "blow through 110mil", they're imagining there's 110mil sitting in the bank and he splurged on that.

These dudes get paychecks, too. And they're living on credit like so many other people.

People always focus on the ostentatious stuff (jewels, cars and clothes) but in reality, they can afford that shyt.

It's the women, illegitimate children, poor investments, family/friends and vices (gambling, drugs, etc) are the 5 biggest reasons they go broke.

If they just bought lavish shyt, they'd be OK. Eventually buying 250k watches gets old.

 

[Danie84]

I grew up on Walker, and my opinion doesn't waver, he's a fukking fool for loosing $110 million

....meanwhile, his slore just hit the jackpot with a Dodger

if these players left money alone in a high interest savings account as a previous dude mentioned, they could still buy watches, cars and expensive toys as long as they were still earning with barely a blip.

It's when they are done earning, and when they have gambled on investments to car dealerships and restaurants and night clubs and pyramid schemes by shady people and divorces and gambling itself that they run broke.

If you make $10 Million dollars a year for years on end, you can afford a Million dollar home, a couple nice cars and all the fixings and still never go broke.

@ losing $110 million. Who cares about taxes. Even after the 50% take from the government, he could have lived off the interest. A fool and his money shall part.

 

[flea]

I can't fathom how you can lose 110 mill.

Tryna keep up with Jordan and shyt
