Gambling is big among ex-athletes as it is one of the few places they can get the emotional "high" that sports produced for them.
Blue font? He's gambled away MILLIONS!
Jordan is an outlier since he was able to leverage endorsement deals even after he retired. Very few athletes are able do that.Wait, Jordan gambled away lot of money too.. and neither are broke IJS
I don't think he has taken good care of his money. Unlike other retired athletes though, he still gets a regular paycheck north of $1.5 million/yr. That's kept him from going bust.Barkley has also done a good job taking care of his money.
Folks kill each other every year for a pair of his shoes. SMH.Jordan is an outlier since he was able to leverage endorsement deals even after he retired. Very few athletes are able do that.
Wrong. His investment guy is one of the best. He has taken good care of his money for him.I don't think he has taken good care of his money. Unlike other retired athletes though, he still gets a regular paycheck north of $1.5 million/yr. That's kept him from going bust.
Me too. I assume from all the gambling talk that Tyren got suspended for gambling.You ain't lying. I popped on here to see if there was updated news on Jones
Just seeing the crap they spend $$ on will blow your mind.... I know I've mentioned it on here before but, I am still amazed at the idiot that had 20+ former HS 'homies' on the payroll... And he wonders why he has no $$$$. On the flip side I know of 1 who was so tight he'd call and ask his advisor if it was ok to spend $20. The have a female advisor who I'd say is one of the best in the business. She makes sure they are setup for life.I think I read that most of them are bankrupt within three years of the completion of their NFL careers, anyway. That suggests to me that the money and luxury goods are just unreal to them. Easy come, easy go...
As do I. I think this kid has a ton of potential. But as they say, potential is what you make of it.I'm all for second chances. Such a talented kid, if he can just get his head screwed on right...
I suppose that it`s a lead pipe cinch that his bridges have been completely incinerated here at Bama, correct?I'm all for second chances. Such a talented kid, if he can just get his head screwed on right...
