If you're an NBA player, how would you spend yo money?

[ChrisRichards]

Lets say you got a decent $3 million dollar deal for two years, guaranteed. How would you use it and for what? Im curious because a lot of NBA players are criticized for blowing a large sum of money in such a short amount of time.

Being realistic, how would you invest or spend your money? And what's the first thing you'll buy?

[iilluzioN]

Open up a badass Club, buy lots of new Cars, buy houses left and right, go blow money on stupid shit like guns and weed....

yea, id live the HIGH LIFE

[baseline bum]

1000 high-class hookers for one night. Then I'd sell the video and use the returns to pay for the sequel.

[iggypop123]

id call sienna west and others. just buy a regular car. id rather have sluts than a expensive car.

[JoeTait75]

90 percent I'd spend on Vegas, loose women, high-class booze and the fattest kind buds I could find. The other 10 percent I'd waste.

[Danny.Zhu]

Senior call girls, night after night.

[KidCongo]

A big diamond ring for my wife.

[lefty]

A big diamond ring for my wife.
What did you do in Colorado?

:lmao

[pauls931]

I would invest in flywheel technology to store energy from solar and wind sources that would otherwise go wasted.

[Laker-fan-in-SanAnto]

:lol :lol :lol

I'd definitly buy an Aston Martin as the very first thing I spend money on

[Darkwaters]

I'd go about it in about this order:

I'd drop 500k and buy a house with cash.
I'd drop 100k and buy a couple cars with cash.
I'd blow 400k on bullshit as I saw fit.
I'd keep 300k for my living expenses that year.
I'd invest 1.7M and hold it for long-term purposes.

The second season I'd already have my car and house. So I'd streamline it.
300k for living expenses.
300k for bullshit.
2.4M for long-term investing.

I'm boring.

100k on cars? You're buying a couple Hondas?

[Indazone]

I would take the 3 mil and assume I wouldn't make another dime after the contract expires and stretch it out to retirement age.

[spursfan1000]

all of it on hookers

[mavs>spurs2]

I would invest all of that shit into real estate and when it doubles, only then would I touch the money and quit my job

[mojorizen7]

Women,booze,fine dining and home theatre equipment
:toast

[Flintstones32]

I've always wanted to open a movie theater that had lazy boy chairs instead of those uncomfortable seats they put it.

Imax Screens in every theater, but charge the normal price.

Would not fit as many people, but I guarantee would be filled up every weekend.

[Darkwaters]

100k on cars? You're buying a couple Hondas?

Yea, probably a couple of 50k cars. If I had a longer contract or more per year I'd probably splurge more! :king

[Red Hawk #21]

I would buy ton of clothes, party even harder than I do now, Fuck plenty of hoes, and drink like crazy.

[Spursmania]

With most of these answers here, it's easy to see how Antoine Walker is broke, goddamn...:lmao

High schools should require financial management classes IMO.

[Sportstudi]

90% on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I would just squander. :toast

[carrao45]

I'd call up Ashlynn Brooke, the girl in my sig, and spend it all on her and her pornstar friends

[MiamiHeat]

I would buy an island and ban everyone from stepping foot on it.

[MiamiHeat]

and yes, I know it's an awesome plan. no need to thank me if you want to copy it.

[BRHornet45]

sons the most important piece of advice for any millionaire pro athletes ... don't get fucking married! ... marriage is a biased legal contract that is setup to screw the man in the long run. DON'T DO IT SONS!!!! just enjoy your dolla dolla bill on different women every week!

for a hornets fan, youre a smart feller. keep those bitches out yo pockets and make yo papa!

[jacobdrj]

Pay off student loans. (Only debt I have).

Spread out the money over various savings accounts, IRA's.

Become a venture capitalist, specializing in tech gadgets, but willing to fund anything with a good business plan that I can 'dig'.

10% to disease research for something that doesn't affect me or any of my immediate family/acquantances (otherwise, it would be too self serving).

Set up an annuity to live off of.

Probably would own 1 house on Lake Michigan, and another small condo along the Pacific Coast.

son that is where you went wrong. everything sounded good until that ... if you were rich, then why in the hell would you want to stay in that shit hole called Michigan?

[lil_penny]

I would be the only nba player rocking a nsx-r on hres.

[BRHornet45]

Preach it!!!

Also, wrap it up or you'll become another Shawn Kemp.

son or just pull out and bust it all over their face. that's even better. god bless

[jacobdrj]

You have obviously never been to Lake Michigan.

Most beautiful beaches on Earth. Fresh crystal clear blue water. Powder white sand for a hundred miles in each direction...

But only for 3 months out of the year (Late June, July, August, Early September). Hence the other condo on the Pacific West Coast...

Also, Lake Michigan borders 3 other states...

Where in MI have you been? Detroit isn't Michigan. Lakes Huron/St. Clare/Erie are bona fide nasty. But Lake Michigan (and Superior) are crystal clear blue water. And the beaches of Lake Michigan are all powder white, particularly in the Ludington area, but also Muskegon, Traverse City, and even in Indiana...

[BRHornet45]

son very nice. didn't even think that was Michigan

[BRHornet45]

sons the clearest water that I have seen in the U.S. is below ... guess where?

I'd probably live like Matt Bonner - get a decent house and car but nothing fancy, I'm talking around $200,000 combined. Put the rest of the cash in savings so you can set up a nice retirement plan.

son I would have figured that Rick Astley could be living a nicer life than that. God only knows how much money he has made with royalty checks from his hit single "Never gonna give you up".
