I think that stat includes any time anthlete has a business venture with their name on it that files for Bankruptcy.
Duce Mcallister was listed as having filed for bankruptcy when he was doing fine it was just a couple of his business.

Yeah but you've never had 4.5 million in your possession either LOL.

That's what I'm saying. It's easy now to say you could make it last a lifetime, but imagine how much restraint you'd need when you opened up that statement and saw two commas.

BS attention grabbing title by SI who probably doesn't list the names of the these unknown/barely known players. ("ALL" Professional Basketball players) .
Every struggling player who signed a 10 day contract is an 'ex NBA player'.
Nancy Grace had a teaser recently about an Ex Dallas Cowboy arrested for Murder. I waited & it was a guy on the Cowboys practice squad for 1 year that no one on the Cowboys staff remember ,let alone Cowboy fans.

Depends on how the investments inside of the trust work out. It could actually be worth less.

Assuming I can invest that money... I can live off that the rest of my life and still buy dumb young guy things.

Easier to live off of it when it is given to you in increments over the course of your life instead of all at once at the beginning, but I get your point.

3 years is a short investment window. More players should do this and not touch their earnings until their career is done.

Heck yeah ! Love to see my fellow humans exhibit wisdom every once in a while.

So? I've never played in the NBA and never filed for bankruptcy. Just because some of these guys don't have long careers or make multi-millions doesn't mean their life is over and must file for bankruptcy.
It is still a relevant stat. It shows how NBA players struggle to find careers outside of basketball.

That's a damn good strategy. He should keep adding to it and rolling it over

How long do you have to be in the league to qualify for the league pension?
The nfl only requires you be in the league for a handful of years to qualify for a pretty balling pension for the rest of your life. Or so I'm told

no doubt my spending would be different

Its probably important to add that his next contract will be worth waaaaaayyyyyy more than this.

Abdul, can we get a number crunch on what this may be worth by then?

I'm adding this kid to my list of players to pull for.
