Re: Anyone Watching The ESPN Outside The Lines On NBA Players and Money?
The truth is, if you're only going to make money for a small stretch of your life (specifically when you are your youngest), when you no longer make that money, the lifestyle has to change tremendously.
Case in point, my current employer. He sold his company to Ebay, so he is a multi-millionaire, no doubt, but he has like 12 different financial accounts that are simply for investing and saving his money and then he has 4-5 other accounts for spending.
If you aren't continually making big money, you're gonna go broke because the lifestyle of a millionaire costs a lot. This is why I am really trying my hardest to become a Hollywood producer, because the shelf-life of a talented producer could be from now till the day I die, quite literally.
An NBA player (or athlete period), sure as hell can't say that.
