Antoine Walker says rap culture influenced how he spent his $108 million NBA fortune
“It’s a cultural thing.”
“When I came out, Jay-Z, Puffy, all the rappers… what they did is what I wanted to do.”
“You see the big jewelry, the chains, the nice cars, the videos… I’m like, ‘When I get it, I’m doing that.’”
“I had a car fetish.”
“I’d have 8 to 10 cars at one time.”
“I didn’t just buy the car. I’d put another $30,000 or $40,000 into customizing it.”
“I had a watch fetish.”
“I had 15 to 20 watches at one time.”
“When I came into the league, there was a dress code.”
“I used to get custom suits that cost $1,500 to $2,000 each.”
“I made about $108 million over my career.”
“But I always tell young guys, $55 million of that went to taxes.”
Walker later revealed that after filing for bankruptcy, one of the lowest moments of his life was having to sell his mother’s home.
Oysters.
The food that filter-feeds through whatever water it happens to be living in, concentrating heavy metals, bacteria, agricultural runoff, and raw sewage into a small grey blob of uncertain texture.
And we serve them raw on ice and call it fine dining.
The oyster is not a delicacy. The oyster is a water treatment system. You are eating the sewage filter and telling your date it tastes like the sea.
It does taste like the sea. That's the problem.
I don’t understand the amount of people who are going to the gym for general health that are doing things like high box jumps / depth jumps. What are you getting out of this? I legit seen an obese woman attempting box jumps…. Why ?
