[quote=KenneBell]Why would he do that?
I can understand giving to charity and all but $50K to some dude on your team? Ehhh....
Reminds me of ethics class. Some people find it a lot easier to give money to people they don't know and have no contact with.[/quote]Because the walk on could actually use it? I'm not saying Jordan's a scumbag or anything, he's certainly a scholarship level player, but it'd be nice to see.
[QUOTE=bagelred]Wow, this is just disturbing. MJ must be insanely embarrassed.
Who is this $56K ? Is that the name of a new rapper?[/QUOTE]

Jordan shouldn't be upset at all....Shit, he prob gambled away more than 56k in a night before.

Classic :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:
It's one thing to drop 56k in a night. It's another thing to broadcast it to the world. Humility isn't often taught these days.
Am I the only one that thinks is somewhat...I don't know...dangerous, for lack of a better word, for a 21 year old to have access to that amount of cash and blow through it so easy that it's funny to him? I don't know, maybe it's different when you grow up with that kind of cash, just know if that were me in college bad things would be happening.

Agreed. I don't even know how you could spend all that on one night, unless he was getting some really expensive hookers or something. Jordan is worth 1 Billion dollars though, so its not like its a huge hit too him, but I still can't say thats a good thing to let the kid do that.
That's a lot of PBR's and games of pool.......

Maybe he will if UCF is trying to add a talented player who can't walk-on.
Most walk-ons are there on an academic scholarship, its not like these are some athletes from a ghetto who are only there because of sports.

I agree with both of you guys.
Thats a bad sign right there. These guys need to make themselves valuable to Jordan's empire for them to blow money like that. If these guys just finish college and spend the rest of their 20's not working and blowing their dads money, they are bums. Its a bunch of 20+ year old kids of rich celebs who do nothing but make public appearances and blow money in LA, NY, Miami or Vegas. They need to get their degrees and find a way to make sure Jordan's legacy and impact continue on after their old man passes.
The Jets' owner's daughter did that and ended up dying.
[QUOTE=Al Thornton]absolutely terrible. starface is right.[/QUOTE]
:roll:
you hit the nail on the head by saying HUMILITY, honestly he can do whatever he wants with however much money he wants but the whole broadcasting it thing seems a little dumb to me. I guess he just wants people to know....:confusedshrug:
Kobe's kids would've spent double that.
Dudes gonna end up like his grampa if he keeps letting the world know how much he spends each day.
[QUOTE=JM720]50k+ a week comes to 2.6 Million In a year. Jordan makes way more than that, according to Forbes he earned around 55 Million from last June to June this year.[/QUOTE]
Whoops, yeah you're right.
Jordan probably earns $50k+ a day just off his money sitting in the bank/bonds.
So basically MJ earned back that amount back by the next day doing nothing, lol.
He probably should try and reign in the kids a bit more, but understandably it's probably not easy once they get into their 20s. Because a pro athlete is often gone during their children's formative years, they often feel guilty about that and pamper their kids with what they do have in abundance -- $$$.
And kids are as sharp as a razor tack when it comes to getting what they want from parents, lets face it.
that's because you're poor
Here's reality......you can have just as much fun spending 5-10k, seriously.....if you're going beyond that it better be an unforgettable night nailing 10 hot chicks in a jacuzzi for a few hours.....anything short of that and you're just giving away your money.
I know it's their dad and everything but these tattoos seem a bit ridiculous. The jumpman logo, "M" "J" on the shoulders in a star, seems a bit like hero worship.

No hate though. Sick life.
I remember one time Jordan said his sons were to caught up with trying to be him, then making their own life.
[QUOTE=StroShow4]MJ's son looks more like DeAndre Jordan than Michael Jordan in the picture.[/QUOTE]
Maybe Deandre Jordan's real father is Michael Jordan.
:lol
Like father like son....
its sad to see money being wasted like that.

[QUOTE=Rowe]Last night was stupid...35k at Haze...Totals 50k something the whole day..Damn!! Going to the pool today..Gotta relax! [/QUOTE]
He spends over fifty grand in a single night and describes the night as "stupid"...? :ohwell: Wish I could blow through the equivalent of someone's yearly salary and act nonchalant about it on Twitter.
Can he ball, does he ball?????????????
Guy seems about as level headed/thoughful as another spoiled heir(Paris Hilton).
This is exactly why Bill Gates is leaving most of his $58 Billion dollars to his Foundation which helps fight/find cures for diseases & other things to help society.
It is reported that Gates kids will only get $10 Million(not billion) dollars each.
I guess Gates sees this exact type of nonsense happening with his money & would rather see something that leaves a positive mark on humanity than his kids partying & 'living the life'.

his kids are smart enough to earn it either way tho. jordan doesnt have that choice as well as paris's dad
Dude is heir to an empire...hate all you want but he got it made.

No, I totally agree. Spamming it out on twitter is not just showing a lack of humility, it is showing a lack of common sense.
[QUOTE=crisoner]Dude is heir to an empire...hate all you want but he got it made.[/QUOTE]
Michael Jordan's money.
[QUOTE=Lebron23]Michael Jordan's money.[/QUOTE]
I wouldn't mind that. Riding my father coattail if i did something back.
Like charity and stuff get a bit involved.
But riding your father your whole life and spending the money in vegas and expensive hotels is pretty low life

the son's initials are mj too. the jumpman is his dad's logo, i dont see nothing wrong with that
maann...the guy is rich and gets a lot of ass. ****.
and :roll: @bagel's comments.
if my dad was MJ i probably couldnt resist living off some of his money but at the same time i would try and make a name for myself AND i wouldnt blow 56k in one night... thats just embarrassing and its just the concept of being responsible with your money, if I was MJ id be pretty concerned.
MJ doesn't care.
He knows how it is to having a losing night on the Blackjack tables.

Like father and son....show a little sympathy.
MJ was a gambler and he never taught his son the dangers of gambling and his kids had a bad night on the tables.
[QUOTE=Samvt]I don't know why he's going to UCF. With that money he could buy his way into a better school/location. We got tons of ******* here and all the attractions but nothing else really...[/QUOTE]
the fact that he went to UCF says something about his character imo.

mj's character should be called into question too, but i personally feel its a little more humiliating if you just give away your fathers money, at least the money MJ gambled away like a retard is his own.
