Joe Haden says most people have no idea how quickly an NFL contract disappears once taxes and family expenses hit.
“I signed a five-year, $50 million contract.”
“I had about $26.6 million guaranteed.”
“My first year, I got a $12 million signing bonus.”
“After taxes, I only touched around $7 million.”
“The first thing I did was give my parents $3 million.”
“Then I bought them a $1 million house.”
“So right away, about $5 million was gone.”
“I bought my brothers cars.”
“I bought myself a penthouse.”
“I got a Range Rover Sport and a Bentley GT.”
“People hear $50 million and think you’ve got $50 million sitting in the bank.”
“That’s not how it works.”
“You look up after all that and realize you might only have around $1 million left.”
“You start understanding real quick that a $50 million contract is not actually $50 million.”
“That’s why so many guys go broke.”
@bballbreakdown Yeah, why is the best defensive team fouling instead of trying to get stop? Mitch has a lot to learn, even with Pop in his ear the whole season.
I paid my car off early, 6 months later someone pulled out in front of me, totaled it; the same bank I just paid the loan off at said my credit wasn’t good enough to get a loan there. Credit is a scam.
Mitch Johnson:
"I don't get into social media. I think I've probably been fired 212 times, and we've traded Fox 72 times. People have their opinions. I don't care. De'Aaron Fox will have the ball in his hands at the end of the game tomorrow and I have nothing but the utmost confidence that he's gonna deliver like he's done countless times for us"
Mitch Johnson:
"By no means am I not acknowledging the Knicks and what they've done and give them credit for playing good basketball. But we feel like we've decided the outcome of all four games"
Charles Oakley thinks SGA got exposed in the playoffs:
“When you win, you get hate. And I think SGA is a great player, great scorer, but he is not a great athlete. And now that you see, there is a lot of wings that can check him and get into him, and he got to score so he got to do whatever he can to score. Push off.”
