$117 million might seem like a lot of money but it's easily spendable with out financial discipline and financial education. Almost half of it is eaten up in taxes.

You're around $58 million after just taxes. I don't think most people would have to try very hard to blow through that kind of money.

You're being too nice about this.

Only a dumbass blows through $58 million in the span of 10-15 years.

Expenses can always scale up. You gotta remember most of these pro players were either broke or just regular people as kids and come into boatloads of money well before they have the life experience to know how to handle it. You living in multi-million dollar houses and driving cars that's easily pushing half a million. You have taxes, insurance, and maintenance on your possessions. You in the NBA getting crazy checks likely not thinking about your post-NBA life.

His agent/lawyer probably told him to say this while hiding money

But never know

His son is a top recruit for next year, so he can eat off him

But Dude played over 18 years and u still have a mortgage at the much

Got damn these nba/nfl nikkas are on another level when it comes financially to their money compared to small percentage of brothers in the MLB

KD is very smart. These young players could learn from that.

Getting tied down at 23 with multiple kids perhaps from multiple women is a death trap.

Take care of your parents, out put your assets in safe places, and when you’re done then get married and have kids.

People clowned AC Green too
He might get caught up in Houston Though :francis:

These guys need to send their kids to public schools. They're not bad everywhere :hubie: . That'll cut the bill down


2500 sq ft home for 350k sounds good for the bm.


Mansions are not necessary. Private schools could wait til high school if at all
No really, nobody checking for Dorian ariza or whoever the fukk. Ain’t like his name is bronny James

Facts.

The true baller, MTV cribs life that people want to live makes sense if you're MJ, Bron level where you'd have to literally burn money to lose it. They can live way below their means and still stunt on everyone. Solid/good/elite role player-type breh gotta be more frugal.

It's rough for athletes because everyone knows how much bread you have. You're tall and recognized easily, everywhere you go. Women just throw themselves at these dudes. A high testosterone young man is not turning down "free" puzzy....until she gets those pregnancy test results back and he realizes that shyt wasn't free.

Find some 50-year old milf aunties and smash raw until it's time to find someone to marry.

These brehs go raw up in the young fertile broads and then act shocked when she turnt up pregnant. "I was on birth control. Now pay up nikka" :pachaha: :manny::mjgrin::feedme:

There’s a difference between someone who stumbled across or earned a large amount of money and someone who’s good with money.

It’s like what Mark Cuban said: if you win the lottery that doesn’t my make you good at investing, so don’t invest your money if you don’t know what you’re doing.
