There is NO excuse for going broke if you were once rich. Investing/high interest accounts is so easy if you have the money to start. ****ing dumbasses. He shouldn't need his parents to look after his money. He's a grown adult, he should use his own brain to stop him being stupid and wasting it all.

because they live like millionaires but only make millions for a very short amount of time not knowing they will immediately be living way beyond their means once they retire.
Klay is very sheltered. It's quite interesting.

there is this perception that if you have millions, the bank accounts will feel like inexhaustible wells so they spend and spend.
This perception is not limited to athletes but also average joes who win the lottery.
his parents dont want him to end up like this...

You do realize Klay's dad is former NBA player Mychal Thompson, right? The guy saved practically every cent he made in the NBA & now he works for ESPN's LA-based radio station, easily earning tens of thousands of dollars in advertisement endorsements alone.
klay thompson gettings sonned as a grown man
Can't respect it from Klay or Mychal side.
Klay, you're an adult earning large amounts of money. Learn to manage it yourself.
Mychal, trust that you raised your child properly and let him be the man you believe he has become.

[QUOTE=Wavy Crockett]Completely ridiculous. [b]Let a professional accountant manage your funds.[/b] However, I applaud his parents for trying to keep Klay out of the next ESPN 30 for 30: Broke.[/QUOTE]
