--------
John Salley advocated for the NBA to offer benefits equal to those offered by European leagues. Salley argued that players should receive essentials such as a car, apartment, chaperone, and security when they sign their contracts. He stated that these perks would not only improve players' quality of life but would also help them avoid potentially harmful situations. Salley used his experiences both in the NBA and while playing overseas to exemplify the disparity in support systems. He praised NBA star LeBron James for his personal entourage, who have been trained to handle various situations. Salley also provided an example of basketball player Sebastian Telfair whose career and $20 million Adidas endorsement were jeopardized due to a dispute over a stolen chain, resulting in a high-profile shooting. This incident reflected negatively on Telfair leading to Adidas' decision to terminate his endorsement deal. Salley suggested that incidents like Telfair's could be prevented with better support systems for the players.

They get paid more than enough to do that on their own. People need to understand what it means to be an adult!

@ogmont I agree 👍 💯. So NBA Players getting these I.G. Models aka Thots Pregnant is the NBA's Fault. They give them a psychiatrist and a Guidance Counselor. At some point these guys have to accept responsibility

Ok john. Of the NBA should give players a car chaperone security and a Apartment like in Europe maybe they should pay them like they pay them in Europe. Instead of making $20 million they should make $1 million like in Europe. With that other $19 million they aren't smart enough to buy a house a security around the clock a car and a chaperone. Thats not the NBA fault.

If you can’t handle the money , you won’t keep the money, called being responsible or smart enough, if you’re not responsible or smart enough to watch your money, then it’s called being broke. Sounds to me getting educated, about the situation would be the best option instead of depending on someone else. Don’t feed a man everyday, teach him how to fish so he can feed himself. I just don’t like hearing millionaire VICTIMS. We see that enough in Hollywood.

Nah Vlad don’t know bball. Telfair was NEVER that skilled as a ball player. He was the smallest player to come out of HS and he had a spotty jump shot. He was talented but not skilled there’s a huge difference. His best bet was to go to college for at least a year to develop some real skills then go pro. Talent will get you there but it won’t keep you there💯. He lost that Adidas deal bc he wasn’t living up to the hype and they didn’t want to extend him. Had zero to do with a street incident in which he was legitimately the victim. He knows that but doesn’t want to take accountability.

[@billclay9489]

i cant get past "imma take care of you"(Grown men). I grew up around alpha males whos wives never worked because as men they took care of all the bills working. These men are all retired and living good. My uncle been retired since 1991 and still doing well. So this "imma take care" of family members makes no sense to me. Now i got some friends and by friends i mean 3. Still i would drop some gifts on them but they better not drop out of college and think imma be the one to support their lives. Thats just me tho'. I guess im from a different environment.

[@tommyfu9271]

Yep. Parents absolutely. If you had a good mom and dad and you make it big they should never work again. Otherwise help a few people out initially but don't enable them. Like he said if you give them 100k and they don't do anything smart with it that's their problem. Sorry no more for you.

If the Euro league were treating players better, nobody would want to be in the NBA. There are lots of players from the US who play overseas, but it's definitely not their first choice. It's typically lower talent who can make a little more in Europe being one of the star players, vs being one of the worst in the NBA.

[@indiefilmmillennial8338]

There’s a big difference in terms of maturity between drafting an 18 yr old versus a 23 yr old. Both are still very young, but the player in his 20s is more likely to have an adult mentality.

[@TheLionaaa]
