Jalen Rose Explains: How Athletes Go Broke

[@SpeedHomeAttack]

That’s why MC Hammer went broke, media portrays him to be broke from buying expensive stuff but he was helping more people than he could afford.

[@ajrichards1190]

MC Hammer felt obligated to help everybody and save East Oakland where he didn't have the funds. He had 200 people making 30k/yr on his payroll and most of them wanted to see Hammer fail and freeload off every penny to supplement their lifestyle (Hammer was always a Yes Man). Athletes like Allen Iverson live above their means like $3000/night grand suite hotel isn't nothing. Average person will have to save for years for a vacation and athletes and rappers are traveling all the time. The ego is networking with other rich people and being part of this exclusive club. Most athletes want instant gratification especially when they have to perform and overcome injuries and trauma to the body. Drug abuse and reckless lifestyle is common.

[@fromthehaven94]

The "Exhibit A" example. And even though they weren't athletes, the ladies of TLC is another good one.

[@mackinshizzaveli4202]

Christopher C TLC signed a bad deal. They never had money to lose. Pebbles got most of it and her husband Babyface split the rest with LA Reid.

[@fromthehaven94]

"Do forget to do your math"- words from Left Eye herself, who is truly missed. I saw the TLC Behind the Music when it first aired. They still filed bankruptcy.

[@michaeljones3604]

[@Noc4ball]

I'm an athlete... not professionally and I am broke too. I can relate.

[@Kruppt808]

Normal people who win the lottery also have like 80% bankruptcy rate within 5 years. So going broke isn't just for athletes who are young. Funny that people who don't have money are always the ones with all the answers on what to do and what not to do.........

They go Broke because like all us poor people you immediately go out and get EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED. Of course ur gunna help ur brother mom sister father. I would just buy a 350 thousand dollsr home a 10 acres and not invest st all. Just live off the rest for life

[@СлободаИлиСмрт-у1б]

In my country we have a sayin' "It's gone the same way it came", if someone had to work hard for that money he would appreciate it more and wouldn't spend it that way. If I had that amount of money I would buy myself a decent flat and invest into bussines right away. Restaurant and merchandise I have a few bussiness ideas of my own that are waiting in a queue for invest money. 😃

[@searching4pawgs495]

Very few people on earth work harder than elite athletes. Trust me, I know. I played college basketball, and the first day of practice had me crying, and calling back home to my mother. People think these guys are just talented. No. Yeah, some get lazy AFTER they put in the years of work, consistent, grueling work got them there.

[@246kram]

You're absolutely right. Before anyone casts aspersions on the athletes, you could do the same documentary on ROCK STARS, BUSINESS PEOPLE, ACTORS, and DOCTORS!

[@dafcorleone]

most of these athletes grew up under difficult circumstances socially, when fame and $$$ hit, most if not none of them is ready to handle that, Shaq said it he was told by a bank manager at the time of his first contract to stop spending his $ like that, and look at it now.

[@burghsfinest]

[@martihill3611]

[@dreday4177]

Step one figure out how much you have after taxes. Step 2 decide how many years you wanna live. Step 3 divide how much you have by the years you wanna live and that's your yearly budget.

[@MrSilus2000]

If you're financially illiterate and you go from having no money to having money, then what the fuck do you expect is going to happen? This is predictable. Same reason why if you give a homeless man 100k he's going to end up broke within the year. Having money does NOT mean you're good with money. DO NOT CONFUSE THE TWO.

This can happen to anyone who comes into a lot of money without the context for how to handle it. This includes lottery winners, heirs, and even doctors, who are experts at medicine but don’t have training in handling money.

[@RolandDeschain1]

Never, EVER give anyone control of your money. Family, most of all. "My family wouldn't rob me!" I hear you say. But look back in history at how many athletes and entertainers who were robbed blind by family members. Read former NFL player Philip Buchanon's book 'New Money, Staying Rich' to see some of the vile, egregious shit his mother and grandmother did to pry money out of him over the years.

[@GuestYouTubeUser]

Mostly because of friends and family. They start living off you.

[@AirKangLocker]

Damn freeloaders. They mock you for being CHEAP for not giving them feee money

[@scootover7]

When I hit big money, I only have a few friends I'm helping, I'm staying single or dating someone who i know isn't a gold digger.

[@nrkgalt]

Start a whole life insurance policy that pays dividends and allows you to take loans against the cash value in the policy. It’s a good retirement plan, probably better than a 401K. You can also use it to finance your major purchases. Whole life insurance, especially a policy started before a relationship, is off limits to divorce courts. Create a family trust and make that the beneficiary of the insurance policy. If you get a wife she can be the beneficiary of the trust, but choose someone loyal to you as the trustee who will have to sign off on withdrawals.

No matter how much money you earn it is always a good idea to live below your means. Also you have to be careful how much financial assistance you give to family and friends. If you let that get out of control you will definitely end up broke.

[@kingsleyoppong-wereko7239]

In South Africa we calm it black tax but it’s purely family that’s been with you. It’s tougher when it’s not strangers asking for handouts. It’s literally the people that raised you and they don’t ask, you offer because you see the very poverty you come from. You do too much and unnecessarily put too many people in comfort them you go bust. You’ve built homes, paid off cars, paid tuitions. Nothing you can expect to ever really complain about but also nothing that can be of any use or value to you.

The money you make right now is gonna have to last you for rest of your life. So here it is: buy ONE house. Buy ONE car. If you're not married, GET A PRE-NUP. Don't let the veterans sucker you into high end poker games. I'm not gonna tell you not to go out, but get the Hell out the club at midnight. Ain't nothin' good happen at the club after midnight."

Mr. Rose...have Marshawn Lynch on your program to show how it's really done.

Although he's not an athlete, Jay Leno banked his Tonight Show $$$, and lived off the $$$ he made doing stand-up comedy. So, it can be done...easier said than done, though.

Yes but rarely do pro athletes survive that long.

[@MrDarryl90210]

My biggest problem with black pro athletes is that they cannot tell the difference between an investment in a startup and a friend who throws ideas against the wall and needs money to get started. I know of and am acquainted with several pro athletes that make millions. None have ever supported my businesses which have attracted several micro funds and VC's. Their agents, advisors, and managers are only there to benefit themselves - not to review viable projects for investment including worthwhile startups. Sadly most waste more than your business probably needs to launch. Hard to want to buy their jerseys and sneakers etc. knowing this about them.

[@InvestBetter.]

Why it gotta black pro athletes? White pro athletes go broke too. Mark Brunell, Diego Maradona, Luther Ellis......

[@MrDarryl90210]

Because no one cares if white pro athletes go broke. I mean.... they're white and far from underprivileged.

[@sebastienchavannes543]

Not always

[@MrDarryl90210]

***** Yes, unfortunately, it does have something to do with race. Ask yourself why are there no black owned tech companies or well-known social media companies other than WorldStar Hip Hop and BET before being acquired. No popular apps or technology, etc? This is due largely in part to the fact that the first people who expect to recognize your product are those "qualified investors" that look like you. You see, getting a team of developers and engineers on board for your idea is not the largest hurdle -- it's getting past the friends and family stage of capital raising then progressing to proof of concept and market traction after raising funds to do so. VC's don't invest in concepts and most black people can't get patents, working prototypes etc. completed without someone identifying the opportunity and jumping on it during the early stages. I said all that to say: there are brilliant black people who watch black athletes waste millions and it sucks that they see you as another person begging for money like everyone else trying to get at them. Their advisors NEVER tell them whatever you have is a worthwhile investment at pre-revenue. NEVER!!!
