If you blow over 100 milli, you’re an idiot.
No sympathy here.

Sometimes it is family & friends that make these guys go broke but it is also disloyal accountants too. When some accountants have access to a celeb or athlete’s money, they go crazy and blow through the money also.

must be nice
@turf
this is 100 mill over the course of a career, n while that seems to be a great deal, no man is above the mismanagement of funds. In truth, the more u have, the greater the likelihood of waste (speaking purely in terms of probability). While these brothers did not use wisdom in their financial affairs, to assume that u would if given the same opportunity, is arrogant best n foolish at worst. The fact is, the average American has piss poor money management skills and often lives from paycheck to paycheck. Throwing money at a person will not buy him financial saavy, only proper education/information will.

agreee with number 5, just cause you have the money doesnt mean you will not blow through it, they are you usually 19 and 20 even 23 with millions they dont know what to do with it, there was no cpu’s growing up for these niggas, this was the late 70′s and 80′s times were different when these guys hit the league

@#5 must be nice, you don’t need an education to be fiscally responsible – it’s common sense. God gave us a brain for a reason. Just how he bought all those cars because he was well aware of how much money was coming in, doesn’t justify him being broke now. Period.

There comes a point in life where you have to look at your self in the mirror and stop pointing fingers. You can’t blame anyone but you for all of your mishaps.

Think about it YOU come across just 10k and watch how many family and friends come out of nowhere with the said story to get u to hand them some money. Sad but so true when you coem from nothing to something people expect you to hold them down. i got back 5k for taxes within 1 day everyone needed money from me. It’s just crazy. People can to learn the power of saying NO and that’s real talk. You and you household come first and he should have made sure that his kids would never want for nothing. I feel bad but then I don’t. I drop people out of my life and dont care about it. If you conintue to have ya hand out and not a hand up then your gone.

My friends and family can stand on their own two. If you’re friends can’t, tell them to fuck off.
