The NBA league should provide some type of financial management training class for these young athletes that they love recruiting even if money management excluded at signing.

[@gregoryeverson741]

that is why you go to college

[@marcosmartinez8088]

The NBPA and the NBA should create a financial menthorship to the players and former players. It's s shame the players nowdays are fighting to get more money and getting what they want, but they don't fight to secure the finances of the players when they got paid, specially collaborate with the retired players. Those stats about the bankruptcy should be less, specially if they the salary cap would still increasing.

I would like to see professional sporting organizations teaching these young men and women about the power of money. The problem is Financial maturity… When you give a 19, 20, 21 year old that kind of financial wealth the first thing they're going to do is spend every penny of it and not know how to invest their money or save their money and stay away from the greedy gold digging people that wants to take it away from them. ESPN done a documentary for their 30 to 30 series called "broke" and it was a very good documentary dealing with the lavish lifestyles that many professional athletes go through. And dealing with all the things that athletes spend their money on. If you haven't seen the documentary please it is a must watch and it's probably on KZbin bits and pieces of it.
