Ngl it’s exhausting hearing athletes break down how their millions “aren’t really millions” after taxes and fees. 40M after taxes is still 40M.
The real issue isn’t the system, it’s lifestyle creep. Nobody told you to live like a king, buy 5 cars, or move with a 10‑person entourage. Modest is allowed.
Josh Hart:
“I’m a good basketball player, and I can help a team win. But if I’m the #1 option on that team, or #2 option on that team? Not a great team. Like, #4? Cool, we’re a good team….#2? Get the lottery numbers ready, baby.” 😅

“In NBA history, guards have averaged at least 30 points per game in a season while playing enough games to qualify for the scoring title on 48 occasions. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 9.0 free throws attempted per game this season ranks 32nd on that list.”

that Anthony Davis is an anomaly defensively and the fit was better when he was on the Lakers. Even for Luka the fit was more dangerous when he was in Dallas.
