There's also more to being an agent than negotiating their NBA contract

Only $18K into his 401K? Those are rookie numbers

Well this guy outed himself as poors


It's funny because people ITT are acting like $18k, $18.5k, or $19k is the maximum.

It isn't, and Steph should absolutely be putting in more.

ETA - I'm sure he is putting in more. These numbers are just some goofy back of the napkin calculation.

Why even include the 401K contribution in a summary like this?

Bet you want it both ways.

Who said he's not allowed to have opinions?

$55,000 in 2018 and $56,000 in 2019.

Supposedly the NBA matches 140% of a player's contribution, so in 2019 that's another $26,600. Steph's contribution would be $19,000, leaving him the ability to contribute $10,400 of after tax money, if the plan allows.

After tax contributions don't make sense for everyone in every situation, but they very likely do for an NBA player. They're handled through payroll deductions just like a regular contribution, and if you're going to include traditional contributions in a graphic like this, after tax deductions make sense to include as well.

What is the escrow for in that? I know what escrow is for with my mortgage, but what is it for in contracts like that?

Don't they have to pay taxes in each state they play in and their income is based on the contract value broken down by games and how many you played in X state?

it appears they have a defined benefit plan, I'd doubt they also have a defined contribution plan/401k. From my experience they most likely would utilize a SEP IRA which is $56k max contribution.

and it’s thanks to the Democratic Party. It’s nothing more than legal theft to take THAT large of a percentage and the sad thing is to them it’s still not enough. If they truly had their way it would be closer to 80-90% taxed.

Punishing people for being financially successful in life is disgusting.
