He’s still in his 20s so he might genuinely not know MJ was already a famous musician back when he was black. A pic from that phase might have fit the motif a bit better.

Every baller's dream, wonder how much it cost.

I understand they've spent it, but a lot of the spending is on houses, jewelry, and cars. The guys going broke gambling and buying drugs.. well.. thats just poor common sense. Idk if you can really fix that with early intervention. They only learn when it's too late. At that point they are prone to making dumbass decisions based off many years of...

If it’s a one time thing at the start of the season where the rookie first pick takes everyone out and picks up a big ass check, I get it. No big deal. But I would definitely not put up with that for a whole season. Players only see half their deals after taxes and agent fees, and even if that comes to 10 million dollars you may never get...

Dude hasn't won anything in 7 years. Got swept last year, missed the play in the year before, Lost in round 1 as the favorite before that. All as the favorite.

Why would King James be out of shape?

I’m sure the percentage is going down as the revenue goes up because they make so much money is harder to spend it. But a tremendous number of people with 27 million in earnings have spent it I’m sure of that. What is that after taxes and fees and all? 12-13? And that’s if you play all 4 years. There’s a team option on year 3 and 4. You could make...

..?

Raptors as Kawhi would lock up Dirk.

This block did nothing as Kyrie had to hit the shot to end the series.

The 2010's is the Curry era.

Most guys with a 27mil guarentee end up broke? I'd have to see the data on that. Even if they get hurt or just aren't good enough, they will have collected millions in assets by the time the money stops coming. I think you hear about guys going broke and think the percentage is much higher than it is. I could be wrong

Agreed. But that didn’t even become a thing until 1999, but really not until the super friends colluded in the summer of 2010 because Kobe with his sidekick Gasol kept winning rings.

I saw an article on Wemby being really active and asking the old guys a lotta questions. Dennis Scott and Purvis Short seem to run it now. Plenty of horror stories though. Richard Jefferson was taken for 7 million before he even noticed:

You think it goes all at once? Or do you think rationalizations like “It’s only ____ to a normal person” lets them ignore that it’s actually ____ in reality? It isn’t hard to nickel and dime your way through millions of dollars thinking it doesn’t matter because there will always be more. I went and read a little about the rookie transition...

they should be more savvy coming in now anyway. Some are making a lot of money through NIL and the international players have already been getting paid as well

:roll:

Yeah buts it's a hazing and he didn't wanna pay it. You're acting like this event somehow is gonna alter his mentality towards money. Guys making him blow 9k at dinner isn't gonna wanna make him do that every night. He spent the equivalent of 80 dollars.

Antoine Walker I'm sure is on the agenda

Hed be fine buying a Bugatti just to drive to the mailbox that wouldn’t make it intelligent. People who get rich overnight buying things because they can? That’s gotta be in the first 20 minutes of that “Don’t be an idiot” seminar they have them attend.

I’m not sure how good you would have to be to downright defy the vets but I’ll give it a shot. You arent signing a $260 million contract then making me spend 9 or $10,000. Sure he can afford it but they have to learn not to buy things they can afford just because they have the money. All that gotdamn truffle butter…. Halls isn’t that good...

So a guy guarenteed 27 million over the next 4 years paid a 9k tab? Roughly translates to 80 bucks for the average guy. I think he's fine.

Lebron is going to go on a Miami Heat type run and win multiple championships, mvps, finals mvps, and surpass Jordan.

In 30 years, we will probably be seeing stats on how many mid season tournament winners went on to win the title. The NBA is thinking long. They know we won’t care. They’re probably aiming for the fans coming up behind all of us who won’t remember a time before it.

I see what he’s going for any I respect the attempt but he can probably swap out the Michael Jackson and Nipsey pics.
