i'd like to see a list of past nba players who have blundered their money away.

maybe david stern, since he's already a nazi, can take money out of their paychecks and pay these players their pensions 20 years before the age of 65. sort of like a forced retirement or 401k plan. start paying them at 45, which is about 10 years after regular players retire.

i dont think stern would do it though, because it would benefit him in no way.

That's an excellent idea.

Considering the massive consumer debt of the western world, you're talking out of your *** here.

Is it so bad that they might have to work (if they spend all their money)?

Now if they go poor because of health problems caused by the game but not covered, that's cruel. It's big for the NFL.

You could definitely get an annuity of $20,000 per month. Each month that's a ton.

Thank you for your insight...Did you read essbee's post that I was referring to. He was referring to Princes and Jay Leno among others...all of which are much better off than 99.9% of NBA players past or present. He then refutes my point by stating they (some)were in a sex scandal and the other went to jail which is a whole other issue. Did I ever say that Americans as a whole dont try to "live large"? No. I was talking about NBA players...since this is a basketball site.

Dont try to insult just for the sake of insult....have a reason

HKF, I don't know that you have to be "incredibly" restrained, even if you're in your 20's. I like to think I've met a wide range of 18-35 year olds from all sorts of backgrounds, and I just don't see 60% of them having problems staying in the black with $800K, or in most NBA player's cases, millions. Hilton, for one, is a special case, but even then she's actually a good example of someone with no discipline and (upon a wikipedia search) not even a HS graduate (GED, about as fake as it comes). Like many NBA players she has been pampered, acquiesced to at her every whim by those around her. This is assuming that 60% stat is accurate, which it might not be of course.

So what was Willie Nelson's excuse? I don't remember him playing small forward for the Trailblazers back in the 70's. And yet he still went bankrupt.

You see this kind of thing happen to a lot of entertainers, because the lifestyle has become part of the act.

I was watching Real Housewives of NYC, and this guy and his wife were shopping for million dollar items of clothing. Like she would come out in a 800,000 dollar skirt!? And I'm like...jesus man. Go buy a 100 dollar skirt, and give that money to someone who needs it, you'll feel far better about yourself, and people will actually maybe like you. It's like rich people don't even know the rest of the country exists.

What is the statistic, like 6 percent have 95 percent of the wealth right now?
