don't follow it close enough, but this is a lot of pressure for folks who know nothing about money and parents that only add pressure to the situation.
so many of these player support loved ones. It's gotta be hard saying no to your parents, especially when you're on the cusp of money.

said Carolina Panthers would come in with signing bonus checks for like 200K or 300K and it would be GONE within 6 months.

about what happens pre-draft. I know the fam and other hangers on are leaching but we normally hear about it after the checks have slowed or stopped. not before the first one is cashed.

he was paying for family. LOL.
Then he got married, and the wife had the good sense to force him to cut off his family...and they HATED her ass. That was part of the reason for him leaving ATL for Greece and then the Celts, Spurs and such. But now, 20 years later, he still got some coin.

tell yourself and your people NO often and watch how easy things are financially. You will definitely take a hit with fam and friends tho.
A friend of mine has a son in the league. You would never know it when meeting him. Dude looks like the typical Pittsburgh nigga in his late 40's and still has a job.
He said his son's money is his son's money.

It’s so hard to find a trustworthy accountant. You have to get an accountant to look over your accountant.

I mean mentor like you'd mentor your boy or sibling, where they really have someone that doesn't have a financial stake in the person's wealth, but just want to help them with money/life decisions.
I know this is a pipe dream since this is capitalism.
