Pippen didn't average over 20 points until he was in his fifth season. The OP is a list of names and numbers with no context.

Sure Wade was pretty bad in the 2013 ECF. I honestly thought he was better because his Game 7 was good.

Chinese certainly save money

The Pacers took the Heat to game seven in 2013, and Wade put up 15.4/5.1/4.3 on 49.6 TS%, so extremely disingenuous to act like they weren't challenged in the East. LeBron averaged 29.0/7.3/5.3 with on 60.9 TS% with incredible defense that series, that's why they won. If you're gonna give him credit for the 2014 finals and a very mediocre 2013...

Its a culture issue for sure. Rap/athlete culture is a bit different than Asian culture when it comes to money don't you think? Guys going broke is mostly an upbringing/culture thing.

Yep but as I said he was much better in a few key series. When they needed Wade in the 2013 Finals, he showed up. Same in the 2014 ECF where he came up big. In the early rounds, the Heat weren't going to lose anyways. 2013 Finals: 19.6/4.0/4.6 on 50.5 %TS (-1.1 rTS) with 2.3 topg (23.5/6.0/4.8 on 52.7 %TS (+1.1 rTS) with 2.8 topg the last...

They have talent but they were a bad team last year and none of their players are especially popular.

They should be taking a class in their one semester of college. Personal finance was one of the first classes I took

It isn’t really a racial issue. It’s a poor kid handed a lot of money issue. You can find top 20 list of baseball players, who blew it all. They tend to go broke as well and not many of them are black. Obviously if you’re talking pro athletes especially in the more popular sports in America a disproportionate number of the people to do anything...

hahaha :oldlol:

Orlando needs to be on the slate somewhere. This is ridiculous.

The bill russell celtics had hof players with similar average stats. Didn't stop them at all from dominating bt but it also meant that only a select few got individual awards, unlike their hollywood rivals.

Right, but guys are who they are at this point in their lives. The guy who went to the owner and told him to keep the tab low already has financial foresight. Thats something he already had. Guys who end up blowing money are wired to do so. At that point if a bunch of young black athletes are going broke you question the upbringing and culture......

Nice territority by gordon rt. :applause:

assuming the CBA still allows people to do long term deferment some of these 200 and $300 million players might be smart to put 50 million back to pay out between age 35 and the full retirement age to get the max NBA pension. Though I suppose anybody with that much foresight shouldn’t be stupid enough to spend the money in the first place. It’s...

When the Jazz cut him in 1994, DiFazio, converted his five-year, $5 million contract into an annuity that would pay Wright $158,000 for the next 25 years. But Wright's mother, Mae, had gained control over the annuity when Wright was mentally unstable, he says. She used it as collateral for a large loan. Payments on that loan ate up much of the...

You post this when it's Rudolph Guiliani, Fox News. and Trump himself losing court cases for lying. Your lack of self-awareness is just one more facet of your stupidity.

The Jazz were paying Luther Wright's contract over 30 years or something when he flamed out but someone else ended up with his contract and he was living on the street

Guys get to the point they can’t even sell the things they bought because everything was so poorly managed. Antoine Walker lost both his mansion and his moms and most of his real estate investments in the 07 crash. He didn’t even have enough to keep up with taxes on everything much less the payments. Sprewell ended up a few million in the hole of...

who is to the left of jordan

These dipshit Liberals want January 6th to be the worst thing that's happened in this country, and they will lie and lie and lie and believe their lies until they sucker dipshit Libs like the Boston Brenda above me into believing their shit. An attack on our country?? :roll:

My man. :cheers:

Yeah I'd tell them to go kick rocks lol. Locker room hazing is whatever, but don't think you're gonna mess with my bank account.

I mentioned the houses and cars more in line with things they can resell and still be decently well off even if the money completely stops coming. Just saying a lot of guys who "go broke" aren't all that broke. Just can't live like they did. The guys blowing money on alcohol and buying shit for their posse are the dummies who really can't be...

I think vet teams will take it very serious once they're actually in the tournament knowing only 1 team gets to win. At the end of the day it's tournament style basketball that results in a trophy. It will be competitive like the playoffs. Every team is gonna want to be the 1 team who wins it and have that spotlight and bragging rights, just like...

No I would say that you've kept your crazy.

Jesus Christ I found the story I was thinking of. It was Dez Bryant who refused to be hazed But look how they got him back… Thats just being a dick.

Beautiful. I know there were some stories recently about some highly touted rookies, who came in on day one and told everybody that hazing shit wasn’t gonna fly, but I think he meant the pranks and all that. Getting ahead of it on the money might be even better. Treated like a workplace and if you perform at a high enough level, you get respect...
