Wease Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I'll never get these multi-million dollar athletes that manage to blow all of their money. Most of them are so blind to the fact that someday, they won't be playing a sport anymore that pays them some stupid salary. Get a reputable financial advisor and start putting money away. And unpaid taxes? WTF? Who the hell spends so much money that they don't even pay their taxes. Talking about living beyond your means. Stupid fuckers derseve it...

ICEMAN1647545504 Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 There is an interview that he did when the T-Wolves gave him 21mil for 3 years and he said quote "I can't feed my family with 7mil a year"... I guess he was right... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Happens to a lot of those guys. This isnt the first story about something like this. Those people just blow there money on 5mil houses and cars and live like there's no tomorrow. And like stated when they stop playing or doing whatever, there money runs out.

Scotty2Hotty Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 No love, sorry. He made millions, but spent more, therefore blowing the money he don't have. I can't feel sorry for him making millions and blowing it all on shit he doesn't need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitrousbird Posted May 15, 2008 Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 I think it was Charles Barkley (can't recall correctly), that said his uncle gave him a great piece of advice: Split his income (after taxes) into thirds. Spend 1/3, save 1/3, and invest 1/3. Sounds like that would work for most athletes pretty damn well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSUGT Posted May 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2008 Who makes 80 mil over a career and has a house and boat payment???? Dave Ramsey would punch this guy in the mouth... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Gump 9 Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I think it was Charles Barkley (can't recall correctly), that said his uncle gave him a great piece of advice: Split his income (after taxes) into thirds. Spend 1/3, save 1/3, and invest 1/3. Sounds like that would work for most athletes pretty damn well. Yup, that's why he now owe the Winn 400G and admitted to have lost millions in gambling. Anyway, 21 mils in the bank with a 5% interest per year will get you a little bit over a mil per year to spend. I'll be happy as a clown to have a mil/year to spend and not to have to worry about my financial ever. Damn, just damn!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kohones Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Happens all the time / I don't feel sorry for him either - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=716821 http://www.lebasketbawl.com/2008/01/60-of-nba-players-broke-after-5-years.html That second article is fucking rediculous. I know they said it was just an educated guess but damn thats crazy. I think what I would do with 21million and could honestly say that i probably wouldnt have to work ever again.
