[@justinperry2352]

And you need to put no in your vocabulary

[@ahsicuhvihenvrinvhui]

Problem is you don't need to spend 2M on your parents to take care of them (especiallyin the beginning of your career). You can spend an awful lot less than that and still give them a great place to live and be safe. The problem is when the supposedly "taking care of your parents/family" meets the flexing part so everyone has to get a villa, everyone has to get a Ferrari, etc. That s how you waste milions

[@natashakuzmanoska9656]

Exactly what i was thinking.

[@izaiahjoseph1000]

$300,000 sounds good off the top of my head. Not 2m lol

[@GuillaumeRx]

That's why the biggest inequality here isn't ethnicity (even though culture has an influence on financial habits). The biggest inequality is financial: Being financially smart (having good habits with your money) is usually taught. If you grew up with wealthy parents, chances are, they learned how to use their money to make more money, and gave you basic advice. If you grew up with enough, you don't need to flash anything to anybody. A person born wealthy does not care much, and has nothing to prove. It's normal for them. But give a kid a grew up poor a million dollars, regardless of his skin color, he'll likely spend the money quickly and not invest much of it, unless he's well-advised and surrounded. If he does not spend the money to help his family, he'll spend the money on dumb shit anyway. And who can blame him? He does whatever he wants with his money, he makes mistakes because he's young, and he enjoys it. Cool. But he could do the same thing (albeit, a bit more slowly and lowkey) while never having to worry about money again, and nobody is there to teach him. That's the difference between the young Athletes/Artists/Influencers, who acquired wealth relatively fast without any specific financial knowledge. That's also how some of them are getting ripped off by their agents, or majors. I think Tony Parker has founded an organization that helps young players with their money and investments for that specific reason.

[@Clavedesolentertainment]

Bro if your parents raised you, you just paying back don't be ungrateful, the first thing you NBA players do is go to the club and throw money to the strippers, I would take care of my mom within a budget that make sense, and eventually after the 3rd contract I will move her into a better situation. Don't be ungrateful!

[@connorrussell2084]

I think the problem is less about taking care of parents/relatives and more about how you do so. Athletes can take care of your family without giving everyone top of the line accommodations. Give people a safe place to live and work, but spend in a way that allows you to save money for the future

[@adamgentry3224]

This is the perfect example of why some groups don't/can't build generational wealth. The priorities are skewed. Instead of spending 2mil on your parents house buy them a "nice" house in a good neighborhood if they didn't have one already, don't buy them a mansion. Learn the word no, explain to them I'll help you but I'm planning for the future as well as helping the past. Let them know there are three pots the fill, the past (parents), the present (themselves) and the future (their kids).

[@BasicName02]

Easier said than done. Remember these aren’t grown men making decision but 18-20 year olds. Their parents still have that hold on them like theyre kids and some people don’t want to let their parents down in any sense.

Hm. Kenyon got 15 million on his rookie deal - that is more than enough to take care of your parents and build something. A two income middle class household averages what, 80-100K a year. This is insane. There also are clips on line of Gilbert explaining the night he spent 50K in a bottle war, or about the night he threw a million dollar party at the all-star game. Hooray for anybody who makes it to the NBA. It is impossible to get there. But the salaries also are totally out of touch with regular life. If they blow it, who is that on? Come on.

[@MrSpicabooo]

Although athletes do tend to make silly purchases, there's also Healthcare cost after their playing years, divorce, corrupt financial managers, etc. Essentially, not everything is in their control.

​@@YoBankaccountformyparlayI am with you here. I didn't ask to be born. Thank you for keeping me alive, fed, and clothed because that was YOUR job as a parent after all. No one makes a person have kids. It's our jobs as parents to help our kids become better than us. Not to tax them on their success for raising them. We should encourage them to learn how to use their money to take care of their future kids not us. But that's just my opinion.

[@tera_windon]

It reminds me of kid actors. So many of them are used as cash cows to supplement their parents’ lack. But Mika Kunis’ parents refused to take a dime. They saved all of her money that she made as a minor and still don’t let her buy them extravagant gifts now. She talked about it in an interview. Too many people are just greedy.

It’s overindulgence and lack of financially literacy. You don’t need millions to be living comfortably. And as a parent knowing my kid so good is all I need.

[@barrywjr13]

This is exactly why I’m trying to get into my profession where I’ll work with athletes and try to help them get set up for their future financially. Too many spend their money faster than it comes in and when their careers are over they are left with little to nothing or are taking care of so many people they will be broke within 5 years of being out of the league. In my opinion, I would tell an athlete not to buy a crazy expensive house until after they retire. You’re barely going to be there and if you get traded, you have to go through the hassle of trying to sell that house. Michael Jordan still has a house for sell in Chicago that no one is going to buy.

[@zockey99]

A normal house costs like 500k. You ain't gotta buy your parents 5mill houses to take care of them. A nice car is 50k you aint gotta buy them 300-500k cars. You need to learn to be responsible with your money but you still have to take care of your family and parents. It's not about getting their respect or love but as a man you still have to take care of them but also draw a line between wasting money and providing for the family.

[@Sarah-wn1df]

Your statement is so accurate. There is nothing wrong with sharing your wealth with your family in a smart way. I'm pretty sure Gil spent more money on strip clubs and prostitutes than the cost of a modest house.

[@ddchoppa8803]

Y’all have to put things into perspective. What’s a normal house? Location of where your family lives is also important. For an example if you’re from a big city. Houses are expensive, more than 500k.

[@ddchoppa8803]

I’m not saying there isn’t smart ways to go about it. But y’all in the comments make it seem as if it’s so easy to manage your money when you have multiple people you have to look out for. It isn’t easy.

[@Sarah-wn1df]

I thought investing in real estate is how you create wealth since it appreciates with value. It doesn't matter if it's a house for your parents or for yourself. You can set it up to make sure your real estate investments stay within the family. Have you ever heard of a trust? These guys make millions, so purchasing a house shouldn't even be up for debate. Now, spending money frivolously on cars, clothes, hoes, and your homeboys will blow through money real quick. There's another video where Gill said he spent $50k on bottle service to compete with a club promoter. Now that is some silly shit, but he doesn't seem bothered by that.

[@Ninety2boss]

Anonymous professional athlete here and I love this comment! I bought my mom a 450k house(that’s in my name). And I only have 1 car(2017 Mercedes). Been a pro for about 10 years now. The only thing I put a lot of money into are properties. I got investments in Canada , US, and overseas. When I was younger I used to always went to flex and show ppl that I had money. Thank god I grew up and realized. That can put a huge target on your back. Not only from your family , but random people. Living a lowkey life is the way to go.

We also have some properties and the plan is to give one to him when he graduates so he is set up for success . We are also planning for our own retirement with no expectations on him . This is how we are trying to build generational wealth . Look- if he becomes a pro athlete and is set up for life then we will just use it all on us and let him live his life fully and not worry about us . All by God’s grace !

[@bilogskii2216]

Bro, NBA salary is more than enough to take care of your family and invest in your future. The only difference about black athletes (actually not really about race but coming from poor background which happens to be Black people most of the time) is that they also feel the need to bring everyone else with to their level. Too many groupies/entourage that would leech off your success. A white athletes friends are for the most part well off white dudes as well and there's no need to provide for them because they can do that to themselves already. When you're poor and suddenly becomes rich, you would like to try everything that you never experienced when you were poor so you tend to overspend while a guy from a well off background wouldn't feel compelled as much. Just my observation.

There was an NBA player who played with Kyle Korver either in Atlanta or Cleveland. He told the story of all the guys being in the locker room talking about things they've bought for family members. Kyle was genuinely shocked to hear guys say they bought their parents a house! He never knew that, and had never heard of, nor thought of, such a thing, because he grew up middle class. A main reason a lot of Black families look to their kids to "help them out" is because a lot of our culture is still poor, and a lot of them sacrificed tons of time and money on basketball, training, AAU, and traveling to get their athletes to where they are!

[@kenstevens7855]

Bam Adebayo is an example of someone that did it responsibly. On his first contract (4 yrs, $14M) he had his mother move in with him. Once he got the max deal (5 yrs, $160M), then he bough his mother a house. He seems to be a smart guy, level headed, and willing to listen to people more experienced than he is. Most rookie deals aren't lucrative enough to "help your friends and family". That money should be allocated for you to set yourself up to be financially secure for life. The second contract is where you can start to do more for others. I'd like the NBA and NFL to set this as a narrative moreso than it is now. It needs to be ingrained in the general public so that parents can be familiar with the concept when/if the time comes. There will still be some people won't heed the advice, but the more education is out there the better the chances of people making the correct decisions.

Greedy. We grew up in a poor household and I remember at the breakfast table my mom would tell me and my brothers and sister. Finish school, get a job, be smart with money, start a family if you like. You don't have to worry about me, I won't ask you for anything, all that I ask of you is - STAND ON YOUR OWN TWO FEET and don't make me take care of your kids full time. You are my obligation, it's not the other way around. I'll live off my pension, you all be self-reliant, take care of your kids. That's all I ask. I deserve to be stress free when I'm 60, 70."

0:35 That's real. Basketball used to be a way to get out the hood, but things are different today. Most of the kids going to the league are not only genetically gifted, but a lot of them are second or third generation NBA players. They had fathers or grandfathers in the league, and they've been groomed for the league since they could hold a ball. They've had access to the best nutrition, programs, coaches, equipment, etc. that money can buy on top up having the best athletic genes and talent, and they have parents that have done it, and they know what it takes. If they don't have family, they're well off, and they've still been groomed since they could hold a ball. Some random kid from the projects can't compete with that unless he's genetically gifted, and he gets lucky to find someone to train him. When you also throw in all the international players that are coming into the league now you can see how much harder it is to play your way out of the hood these days. Being talented and athletic is the bare minimum and only gets a slim chance. Everyone in the league is talented, athletic, and groomed.

If you're making NBA money putting you in the Top5% financially in the country I think it's imperative that you take care of your Mom & Dad, or whoever it was that raised you, took care of you.

First NBA pay cheque should be % wise, 30 30 40. 30% if needed to help parents. 30% to set yourself up. 40% invested. That is if the bag isn't a deep one like Wemby. In Wemby's case, a 55mil after tax will be around the 30mil. He can invest 20mil straight up. And 7 mill between him and his parents. That 3mil contingency plan. Good to go

[@jman1562001]

Wemby str8....it's the guys who have a roster spot or is journeymen that got to wisely move. NBA got talent coming from everywhere and there are only 450 spots. Only a percentage of those players making life changing 💰 . Most out the league in 3 to 4 years and have the bread they got from the rookie deal to fall back on. Every draft class in 60 guys. Maybe 2 to 3 are all star guys. 5 or 6 remain in the L. Everyone else is gone usually before the second contract comes. It's levels to it.

[@MUSTAMOMO]

@jman1562001 Very true the fragile way atheletes live, and how careers shape up. Though, same situation with spending. If you get a mill, gota stretch it as if it is the last pay cheque you will see. As anything can happen. Once you make it into a year 3 or there about, and secure a decent bag. Then how smart you are, will either make or break your future. Each to their own when it comes to ways of spending. Being frugal now days is almost a rarity

Sometimes it pans out other times it don't. Risk always going to be there but minimizing is best.

[@MUSTAMOMO]

@jman1562001 Very true. And life is all about risk management. I think once young athletes understand how to steer away from peer pressure. Their spending habits will be more focused on future financial security. And those who are in their early to mid 20's, should have a clear idea of what they want from life. And a certain degree of how to get there. Especially if they made it into the top 60 to draft out of the whole world theoretically speaking. If players feel like they really need financial guidance, then they should spend $10k on getting someone to sit down and talk to a handful of rookies at a time. And get all their questions attended to. As that is growth, and will add valuable value to their game in some ways. As well as their future development and life choices that will put them in a better spot. Easier said than done, when young players think they know it all, and too much pride hinders their sense to ask... Reminds me of the story that Jordan said about young Kobe calling him all the time. And on the other hand Nick Young being mentored by Gilbert Arenas. Two completely different guidance and outcomes

You definitely don’t need two of them. You also don’t need to be blowing money on high end clothes when that’s not even you. People end up broke because they think that because they get paid more, they have to spend more and that psychological perspective is what destroys these families.

I respectfully hold a different perspective. Many parents had to postpone their dreams when they had children. If these parents had prioritized their aspirations over spending time with their kids, society might label them as 'bad parents.' Therefore, I believe that when one achieves success, it's meaningful to give back to their parents in a special way, such as providing a home. Raising a child costs nearly a million dollars, so is it too much to ask to support your parents in this manner?

[@Louisianimal-225EBR]

This a goofy comment. A child owes a parent nothing but respect and love. A parent chose to be a parent, chose to bring a child into this world . That’s your job now. Your responsibility. What you should’ve said that it would be nice for a child to finally get straight enough to gift the parent nice things…. AFTER the child is set up in his or her own life. Payback to the parent is not necessary but if wanted it should definitely be AFTER said child is straight first.

I love this conversation. The convo is deep and a GREAT one.. Biggest answers is it depends... But nowadays they coming from a better upbringing to where they dont have to buy they folks a crib. That was largely the difference between the white and black athlete. the white athlete had a good home, training (in their sport) and was able to get to that stage developing talent as opposed to having raw talent that is grown.. The other difference in that is that the white parents tend to have a home and ard Home OWNERS. Black families tend to go BACK before forward. Buy the past generations houses, and pay for their debt, THEN the player gets to spend on themselves, the white athlete tends to not have to worry about the family with regard to finances. Which allows to build and go forward as opposed to going back, and by the time you are at your parents' age you can't live
