Most of these instant millionaires are dead broke within three years after their careers in the pro sports. They don’t know how to handle money, taxes, investments, etc.

They buy their mommas big McMansions but then after a few years can’t afford the taxes so they have to sell.

They buy big fancy cars that deteriorate and are worth less each day.

And they are usually in their mid to late thirties, just when other professionals, like doctors , careers are taking off.

So, don’t feel too bad, your guys have the last laughs................

In wasn't weeping for the doctors I worked with.None of them were in danger of starvation...if you catch my drift. But these guys (and gals) worked harder and longer (I could tell you stories about medical school,post graduate training and the early years of their practice) than these kids ever dreamed of working. And they can take a person who's at death's doorstep and make them able to walk home days/weeks/months later.

Sure beats being able to dribble a ball. I can dribble my oatmeal (down my chin). I wonder if I could make $20 million a year...even for one year.

I couldn’t care less. I’m still an athlete after many years, but I now have zero interest in professional sports or their minor league NCAA division.

I feel sorry for folks in cities that are paying for the palatial arenas in which these grifting millionaires perform their shows.
