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.

So?. Its sensational journalism plus many people obviously don't understand 'bankruptcy' does not mean a person has no money/broke.

A poster above gave Deuce McAllister as an example when a business venture hoes bad & that business files.


I could go through list of thousands of wealthy /prominent people who have filed for 'bankruptcy' & would crush you with their wallets.

A lot of it is business associated bankruptcies on down to a guy who simply signed a single 10 day contract .
