I'll never understand why young, rich athletes and entertainers marry and/or impregnate chicks in the prime of their career. This dude just gave himself a lifetime bill that will be based on his current income. Problem is, his NBA income will not be for a lifetime. It will be for another 7-10 years max....and that may be generous since Shumpert is a role player who already has injury problems in his young career.
I wouldn't advise a young, regular dude to marry/impregnate a chick. And I damn sure wouldn't advise a young millionaire to do so. Live your life, enjoy those 10 years in the pros and THEN find a chick that likes you, without being the in the league, and wife/impregnate her.
Why put yourself in that position now in your early/mid 20s? Why be in a serious relationship when your lifestyle in the NBA is not conducive to that? And on some real sh#t, why put yourself in a position where you can be publicly and financially punished for cheating on your chick when you are in a profession that lends itself to such behavior due to high notoriety, large salary and extensive travel away from home?
Good luck to him and his pockets though.
Peace
Young guys with tons of money and fame will always make dumb decisions. It'll never end.
