What an idiot, seriously. He made nearly 100 million dollars over his career, and now he can't even afford a house that doesn't cost alot.

Yeah he looks like even more of a 'tard for rejecting the contract offer now... owned.

This reminds me of the time I spent 96 million dollars without acquiring anything of value.

But but but.... NBA players are taxed so high and blah blah blah. How the hell do you squander such a fortune? He'd be fine if he had bothered to invest even like 2% of his after-tax earnings into anything with a decent a return. It's mind-boggling how stuff like this happens! It really is.

My guess is lobster and fillet mignon everynight with Beluga caviar for an appetizer. Wash that all down with a bottle or two of Dom and you can piss through $100 million pretty quick.

Wait, doesn't he own a company that makes rims? Maybe he needs to sell a few more sets of spinners then he can keep his house.

And he lives in Milwaukee... I can understand if he lives in London or Tokyo where things are ridiculously expensive, but how can you spend that much in Milwaukee? And his house is dirt cheap too! Is he wiping his ass with $100 bills?

Good god, my mortgage is not much less than that and I'm a friggin teacher, as is my wife. That is pathetic. And yes, I lived in Wisconsin for a bit, it is not that expensive. Quite cheap actually. At least back then.

That 40 million in legal fees I'm sure he racked up will surely sink any man.
