So I was re-watching 30 for 30: Broke

These athletes gotta do better, man.

Agents.
Friends.
Women.
Family.

The pitfalls are everywhere.

I googled Jamal Mashburn's net worth: 45 million.
Then I googled Andre Rison's net worth: 50 thousand

But yo, why Leon Searcy show up to a documentary in a "How About 5 Across Yo Lips" t-shirt?
Breh, wouldn't you dress up a little bit for something that's gonna be on tv?

I hope Greg Oden saved that money.

Also, how that documentary just gonna focus on Bernie Kosar but sneak in Mark Brunell losing 50 million at the end?
White athletes lose money too.

I thought it was real fukked up how often these dudes get swindled by people close to them, or just con artists who hang around them.

It's wild, man.

The dude who said he opened up a joint account with some woman he was dating.

Dude said he had 1 million in the account.
They get into a fight...he takes her and her whole family to Jamaica a few weeks later...and he checks his account and 600k is missing.

She told him that after the fight she took the money out because she was afraid he was gonna leave her.

Man, 600k?????
Hey man, I'm not suggesting violence but a lot of women would be dead if they took 10k from a man. Imagine half a mil?

and when they say "enough is enough" to their families, like Tyron Smith did (his parents wanted like a $850,000 house), they get treated like Judas

Is it suprising 90% of them were NFL players tho? Get cut whenever, contract loaded with incentives, generally dont make that much outside of QB's in the grand scheme.....unless you're actually a pro bowl player with a long term career you have to be smart with your money same as any other job. And whats the odds of that when ur young with a big signing bonus? These NFL cats just dont think long term at all nor is it realistic to expect them to. Now if ur in the NBA or MLB and end up broke thats on u....just gotta be completely reckless and outta hand to let that happen (aka Antoine Walker-like)

I gotta admit I didn't know who Tyron Smith was until I googled him just now.

How you gonna demand 850k for a house? Wouldn't his parents live in Texas with him? 850k in Texas probably buys you like half of El Paso.

It says he's only 23 though so if he's smartening up and cutting people off that young, maybe he's got a good chance to do well financially.

And that dude signed a huge contract with Philly too

 

[Turk]

If I was an Athlete I would live on 100K and constantly save the rest. I'm not tryna do shyt after I retire.
