Welcome to the world of taxes. Only difference between NBA players and rich people in general (that liberals always cry aren't "paying their fair share") is the 3% agent fee.

im pretty sure we all consider NBA players to be rich ppl. wtf are you on about now

they're rich, but they're still working class

LOL. Yeah, Steph Curry and his $200 million contract are "working class."

You gotta believe having a large contract doesn't automatically mean you are set for life and untouchably wealthy.

It reminds me of what happened to former WWE Champion Shawn Michaels who once earned a fortune annually but after a crippling near career ending back injury and a laundry list of other problems, forced him to earn less in the second half of his career. And years of taxes, charity donations, helping out his family/friends quickly started to add up.

He was in debt and had a family to support. So out of desperation had to crawl to the self-made millionaire JBL and became JBL's 'assistant' in order to feed his family and keep his head above water.



The once great Michaels spent the next few months of his life having to carry JBL's bags, make his food, clean his home, interfere in his matches and do all sorts of degrading, humiliating things to make up the cash he needed.

And it was an extremely dark period of his life. Now imagine that instead of someone like Michaels who was an extraordinary man living an extraordinary life that lead into an extraordinary situation. You're an incredibly ordinary NBA Player.

Well you just have to wonder how many people will be foreced into situations were they have little or no choice than to do things that they do not want to do in order to achieve and support their families.

Remember over 60% of NBA players end up bankrupt. Never trust the long line of "0s" you see on the bottom line to be all that they appear

It just goes to show that anything can happen in the wild world of finance, and in the WWE.

The Life, Universe, and Everything board from 10+ years ago which was like Current Events but 20 times more crazy. After awhile they put a block on the board and only so many people have access to it now days.

20 times more crazy yet we had a dude burn down a church...

I watched a dude die in the ICU while he listened to that song. It was an intense experience.

not gonna lie that bumps pretty well
