Has about 20 million coming to him over the next 4 years..

As long as he doesn't have like 50 more best friends lol. He's a smart kid so I'm sure he wants to do nice things for the people around him, and probably live modestly himself. Just can't go crazy with it.

Minus Taxes and Agent fees and living expenses, more like $10 mil over 4 years. Thus, $2mil per year this year alone to live on minus whatever gifts he is buying everyone.

I read Vin Bakers book and just supporting friends took a big chunk out of his fortune.

Actually notion that nba players earn every dollar they get in salary is laughably false.

After the initial spending spree for friends and family, Bamba will be doing local commercials for $50k a pop by mid-season.

Jesus Christ man, Mo treats his friend to a $50-$70k M5 and you guys go in on him about being financially irresponsible. Get a life

It can be a slippery slope, which is what leaves so many athletes financially ruined. It's nice to do nice things for other people. It's important to know when to say "no" as well. Mo is an intelligent guy. He's got a lot of $$$ coming his way.

I like flowers, says Sir Elton after £293,000 florists' bill


Link of no interest

Celebrities live their lives. We can not fathom the wealth and how to spend such wealth.


The Sir Elton quote I agree with for the obscenely wealthy:
I like to spend money. It's my money to spend





p.s. I did just spend today at the polo club as a john-Q-worker listening to the rich talk about
"why I spent £200K on X-y-Z". . So maybe they brain washed me....

So what if he blows all his money. Mo Bamba, mo problems, am I right?
11/18/2017 - I have officially disowned Nikola Vucevic and branded him a loser.

- Skal Labissiere was my guy in 2016 pre-trade. Whoops, but I still believe.
- Malik Monk was my guy in 2017. Whoops(?)
- Mo Bamba was my guy in 2018. TBD.

For the guys saying he is blowing his money. He bought a gift for a long time friend who is like a brother who in his mind helped him achieve his goal plus always had his back when things were rough. This isn't some kid spending his money on parties and crap.

If you can’t put that together from the comments then I don’t know what to tell you.

He bought his friend a used BMW?!? That's even worse :lol:
BMW = high $ to maintain. High $ to insure.
I hope the kid has a good paying job or they stay friends for a long time so he can afford to get it repaired when the time comes.

There's nothing wrong with what he did, I think he's pretty cool for it.
I'm just pointing out what I would do, I guess.

It’s his money to spend as he pleases and none of our business.
