Agreed, but........ Gil is "semi-intelligent", if you follow his path/story. He's done a lot of DUMBSHIT!💯 The beauty is God blessed him.... He's accomplished so much despite his personal faults. He's PURE ENTERTAINMENT.

[@AiringThoughts]

There's a reason why Kobe stressed the importance of finding a new passion WHILE in the NBA. Because this is bound to happen if u dont. For Kobe it was film and he won an Oscar, for MJ it was Golf and Business, for Kanye it was Fashion, for George Foreman it was Grills/entrepreneurship. It's about self-respect and waking up happy. In the book the Art of Mastery Robert Greene talks about this in depth. Doing something that YOU enjoy consistently even if you have to pivot a career, dream, or goal helps you become HAPPY.

[@henryhudson9761]

70 to 80% of professional athletes go through a divorce within five years after they retire. That's because of variables: 1) All the cheating the player did, she's NOT willing to take that now..especially since there's no SERIOUS income coming in. 2) The player is no longer gonna be in the limelight so he becomes an unknown 3) The player has to downgrade because the BALLERS life cannot be supported on the money he has or the little crumbs he's getting. So now it's time for her to bounce. Oh...and over 70% of divorces are started by the female.

[@navytanutrof1823]

So all the cheating done by the wife doesn't count? Maybe she can't be as free as before cause he i s asking her questions now: where are you going?

[@jman1562001]

@@navytanutrof1823 Yeah it's def a two way street. The biggest thing IMO is a baseline level of RESPECT is ESTABLISHED and MAINTAINED throughout the duration of when you got into the arrangement/partnership. Most men and women ain't Honest and Upfront about their Wants and Desires and hide/suppress it until the TRUST between the two is broken. Once that is gone then the respect goes and women will STAY in the relationship to destroys the image of what you once were in the beginning and leave you with extreme prejudice for the next guy who fulfills those very qualities that attracted her to you in the first place. NBA guys meet most of the physical qualities but it's that mental fortitude and the ones willing to walk away from the girl that separates the boys from the men.

[@monigurl4229]

I always wondered how pros felt after retiring. This confirms everything I was going through. I was a high level high school athlete, but I decided not to play football in college. That first fall after that desicion not to play, the smell of the grass in the fall would always have me thinnking about getting ready for fall practice, but I had nothing to do but go to school. It was weird to have that feeling and missing the game...I would always imagine how someone that made it to the pro level would feel if I had all those weird feelings just from middle and high school playing ball. Even to this day, I still get those feelings each fall...it's all about those scents and your body wanting to do what you used to do on the regular.
