“We were evicted out of Hawaii.”
“We came home and there was a notice.”
“You have a week to get out.”
“My mom was standing there crying.”
“She didn’t know what to do.”
“I remember thinking, ‘I never want to experience this again.’”
“I asked myself, ‘What can I do to change it?’”

“What is it really?”
“It’s five years for $60 million.”
“We’re getting taxed.”
“That’s $12 million a year.”
“You have to spend, save, invest…”
“I’m gonna buy a car.”
“I’m gonna get my mama a house.”
“Everything costs money.”
“If you’re spending $4 million a year, that’s $40 million over five years.”
“Now you start breaking down the numbers.”
“Can you make that last forever?”
“We weren’t taught financial literacy.”
“We weren’t taught that skill.”

“We could not believe an NBA player made $1 million.”

Lou Williams explains why so many NBA players go broke despite making millions
“The average NBA career is four years.”
“And it takes about five years after that to go broke.”

“About half of it is gone.”
“You’ve got taxes, agent fees, union dues, a financial advisor, and your personal staff.”
“Before you look up, you’re down to around $1.5 million.”
“These Benzes, mansions, girlfriends, and designer bags…”
“Before you know it, you’re not a millionaire anymore.”
“You’re a high thousandaire on paper.”
“I bought a Ferrari and a Lamborghini in the same week.”
“My financial advisor told me it wasn’t a good decision.”
“I said, ‘It’s cool. I make a bunch of this.’”
“I was young.”
