Agreed.
I was born in '86, so basically the same generation as Bron, Telfair, etc. The middle class/upper middle class baller seems more common now than the "I grew up in the projects and had gubmint cheese and kool-aid for dinner" type brehs.
Young brehs now seem more prepared but only time will tell.
They're definitely more prepared, but that doesn't mean they're less likely to commit fraud, racketeering, money laundering and embezzlement.
In fact, there's a theory that white-collar crime exists on the plane that the parties involved believe they won't be caught because of their upbringing, status and the resources they have, which is why they're more likely to carry out these crimes, than say the everyday nxgga, whose perception is he's more likely to be caught.
These NBA nxggas didn't commit these crimes because of their "lack of financial education", they committed them because they thought they could get away with it. The role of "financial education" in this context would only aid them in coming up with elaborative ways of not getting caught, rather than trying to claim some shyt of "root canals, on the same teeth, on the same day, at the same location".
