    Given an opportunity others cannot get. Much like many others, unable to manage his finances. Its a hard lesson to learn.

    Hope he straightens it all out and grows from this.

    Sometimes I feel like Bonner is the one of the few out there with a good head on his shoulders. He knows he'll never make this kind of money again. Lives below his means.

    I agree, I guess they figured sense he is a NBA player he would be good for it.

    Matt Bonner strikes me as Roger Dorn, sucks as a player but will be good in a front office position much like Danny Ferry.

    Antoine Walker had net earnings of $108M over his NBA career, and he had to file for bankruptcy. Unbelievable.

    "In 2010, Walker filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. He reported assets of $4.3 million and $12.7 million in debt."

    I can't have faith in the management skills of someone who had Billy Hunter's back even when it was widely known he was crooked last year when Fisher first tried to force him out.

    Yeah, Big Fella literally has no singing talent, w/ or without AutoTune.. I bet he paid the 53K for the two spurs jersey diamond pendant/chains, and probably spent a good portion of the rest of the Rookie deal on either his own studio, or studio time to put P.O.P down..

    A Spurs spokesman declined comment Tuesday. The general counsel for the Spurs referred questions to his agent Happy Walters.


    Seriously? His agent's name is "Happy Walters"?

    funny story(y'all seen the photos), i went to blairs & hills bowling thing during blairs rookie season and a couple friends went with me. blair and hill bought everyone pizza, drinks, and paid for us all to go bowling. when i was leaving i tried giving blair $20 or $30 back and told him, "i just wanted to thank you for this and didn't want to take advantage", and well blair said, "i don't need this", and he proceeded to throw the money back in my face and i picked it up off the ground and left.

    sucks to know the dude is in the position he is at the moment and hopefully he figures it all out in the end, gets a new contract some place else, and gets his straight. sucks to see the dude struggling on and off the court.

    Terrible story, but not surprising in the least - especially in this "bling-bling" era of the spend-happy athlete.

    What a great way to mark your final days as a Spur.

    “It ain’t nothing,” Blair said before the Spurs played the Denver Nuggets at the Pepsi Center on Wednesday. “It’s something that’s been handled.

    It just came out because I’m me. It happened in my rookie season when I was young and dumb, just coming into the league. I grew up. It’s cool. It’s getting handled right now.

    “I knew it was coming out before it came out. My attorneys got everything, so it’s not really a big issue for me.”

    http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursna...r-cant-handle/

    Man, the Spurs PR team must not want to help Blair. You would think he could come up with a better story. It is a big deal when you have a $53,000 judgment entered against you. Its even bigger if its a default judgment because you acknowledge owing the money by not contesting the case. If you can't afford to pay the $53,000 how in the do you expect to pay your lawyer who will probably charge you another $20,000 just to tell you that you owe the money? You are still young and dumb. The only thing more stupid than Blair's comments are those of his agent:

    “It’s the underbelly of pro sports, where business people take advantage of guys just coming into the league,” Waters said. “They tell them, ‘Take this jewelry and pay me later.’

    Poor millionaires getting taken advantage of by buying $50,000 in diamonds. They are the victims of predatory retailing.

    /facepalm

    What makes the story worse is that he was probably spending like crazy during his rookie year when it looked like a matter of time before he'd get a big contract. Now that he's looking at relative peanuts this upcoming summer, it's a forgone conclusion that he'll be broke by the time his NBA career is over.

    FWIW, Blair's agent is terrible. This fiasco makes him look lazy. But what was stupid was allowing Blair to sign a four-year contract out of college. If you have a client who had a short shelf life to begin with due to the lack of ACLs, you push for a one year contract to push up the pay day ... not delay it.
    This. Terrible financial advisor also if he has one.

    *sigh* If I had a fraction of what these fools make I would do so much more. He will be another Former NBA player hoping you feel sorry for him when he is broke. Pretty sad.
