  probably a good idea

  ..if not for a looming lockout you intended to spend your annual earnings??..not sure that qualifies as “financially savvy”..somebody explained to him he´s not gonna making whatever-mil a year for the rest of his life,right?

  He’d better start saving his money for the day when he has to play without KG, Ray Allen, and Paul Perce. Just sayin’…

  its actually pretty saavy from a collective bargaining point of view as well, since what killed the players last time was the fact that none of them were prepared to live without their salaries (ie kenny anderson). In fact, if rondo is really smart, he’ll do this all his life since spending like you’re going to make 10 mill a year into your 70′s is what bankrupts these guys in the first place after its all done.

  Crazy to think he may be saving millions just in case…

  Cinical pretencious clown!!!!! good player dough

  It’s called common sense. You’d be surprised how many people lack that. NBA players especially, who are earning all their money in 7-8 years on average. Latrell Spreewell is a sad case, so is Antoine Walker.

  cosign deshawn. im sure hes been saving most his money anyhow, but whatever.

  Tell that to bosh who bought a 12 million dollar house

• SpaceJam Posted: Oct.23 at 7:03 pm
  @ EboyHater, Tell that to LeBron who bought a 50 Million dollar estate even with the endorsements that’s rediculous

• AJ Posted: Oct.23 at 7:28 pm
  i guess if not for the potential lockout he would be living check to check…man these players are funny and ridiculous at the same time…i guess he and other figure they would be playing week into their 50′s…just to think some of us could survive on just one of these checks for the rest of our lives or close to it none the less 4-6 years of X million per…

  Cosign AJ. WOW Upsidedown Headband boy-you so smart!

  smart guy

  Rondo with another steal.

  Hey Jono, I agree with you but the actual stat is something absurd like over 75% of NBA and NFL players go bankrupt within 2 years of retirement. It sad to hear about those kind of statistics, but what do you expect when you try to support a 10 man entourage, your entire family, drive half a million dollar cars and buy 100 000 dollar jewelery. For the superstars like Lebron its easy to live that lifestyle but all the middle and low salaried players who try to imitate that lifestyle are the ones who end up getting screwed. I remember seeing Damon Jones trying to floss like Shaq and Lebron only to nod my head in disapproval at how another dumbass millionaire is living way beyond his means. The only person these players should be paying is a certified financial adviser (Not one of their friends). At least the NBA is getting it right by starting to institute wealth management and other types of workshops so these idiot players don’t all end up Sprewelled.

  How’s he gonna feed his family if he keeps saving his money?

• Tarzan Cooper Posted: Oct.24 at 2:35 am
  jonny, its fun to make up stats isnt it? 75% ? wow. dunce.
