Vin baker lost 100 mill n makes frappes now breh

[beenz]

Media loves these stories of black athletes losing money. Yet when these dudes invest wisely and make there money grow the media damn near refuses to even make an article on their business smarts.

Or the media bytches because they are such cut throat business men or are cheap with their money.

yup, when was the last time you've seen an article about jamal mashburn?

[Zach Lowe]

[Originalman]

yup, when was the last time you've seen an article about jamal mashburn?

Or Rodney Rodgers before he broke his back, or Tony Brakens or Hershel Walker with his successful businesses outside of sports (but the media did have time to talk about his 30 split personalities) or Eugene Profit or Tony McGee or Frank Rice and etc.

Chauncey Billups owns 30 Wendy's with Junior Bridgeman (former NBA player). Mr Bridgeman (an ex NBA player) has 165 wendy's and 126 chili's.

See you will get lucky to get more than one article on these dudes. But if they filed for bankruptcy or got arrested or were late on child support payments you would get their names on the ESPN ticker or an article on Profootballtalk or ESPN.com. Plus the usual Dailey commentary.

There are a lot of former players out there being movers and shakers. That is not even naming the ex players that got smaller businesses or one or two franchises. But talking about black folks doing well in general and using brain power ain't gonna get clicks and viewership as a whole.

 

[dizzy4111]

Had me worried about Hersey Hawkins for a minute

 

[Shogun]

Which was?

Dude posted that the media never covers black athletes making positive business decisions.
I posted multiple media outlets covering Melo's business decisions.
You were just blindly hating, probably fishing for daps from the I Hate the Knicks Commission.

 

[jaguar paw]

I'm in RI often I'll go him.

Vin seems to finally be happy. There's no money equivalent to having a peace of mind.

 

[Remote]

Damn.

I went through some of my old basketball cards.
I had Vin Baker's rookie card with the Bucks!!

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

how so you blow that much money?

The article said bad business investments, and accountants probably stole from him too....

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

Vin has $$$, it says in the article. He got some back from his accountant.

5 years from now, He's going to be on his Peyton Manning/Shaq owning 20 starbucks

And that's why the nikka is smiling.. .Clear Headed with a goal/plan to be excited about.......
