To people that have never made anything close to a million dollars in a year, it’s impossible to comprehend how NBA players go broke after signing those huge contracts.
Ex-NBA player Josh Childress is here to explain. He spoke about the pressure of living a certain lifestyle. It’s natural to want to keep up with the joneses and live a life of luxury because you can at the time. It seems like like that money train is never going to stop rolling, but as we continue to see, it always does.
I’m not going to sit here and say I wouldn’t make the same mistakes they do. It’s not like they weren’t warned of all of this, but few seem to be able to fight away the pressure to support everyone around them and buy really nice things.
