Dummy. You gotta have people watching the accountants thats watching the accountants.
Ex-NBA star
I said it before, my brother deals with athletes and entertainers and he routinely says the athletes are just plain dumb.
He said they could literally just take the money and put it in the bank and be fine. But they're so dumb they don't even think to do that, so the sharks come in and bleed them dry.
Athletes have to pay taxes to the states that they play in, because they are considered contractors.The thing is the tax, if you put it all in the bank you losing 35%-50% a year depending on state taxes, that's why you need advisors.
Players already do this.Honestly speaking if you are not financially sound at minimum you should be able to control your own money and not be duped into signing over power of attorney to anyone..
1. Open a money market account
2. Open a couple savings and checking accounts at various banks and credit unions.
3. When you sign your professional sports contract have the lions share directly deposited into your money market account
4. Have the remaking money’s direct deposited into the savings and checkings.
5. Use one of the check accounts strictly as your bill account where you pay all your bills monthly and have the bill balances on auto pay so that way you don’t have to worry about unpaid bills
shyt is simple yet these dumb ass nikkas always getting got I don’t understand, it’s like bank all your bread and don’t invest shyt with anyone or have mofos handling your money only you should.. When you retire you would be better equipped to do small investing etc but at least you have every last dollar you made playing professional

I know I will sound like a racist here but real talk a financial advisor named Michelle Marquez? Sounds more like a female who sucked him dry in more ways than one If you don't know what to do with your money take half and buy stabilized apartment buildings, take 20% and buy blue chip stocks, another 20% in US bonds, and keep 10% in an interest bearing account that you only withdraw the interest from for your day to day activities. I done seen firsthand how this happens in Miami, they get these hoes to s*ck and f*ck you, promoters to show you around town, these same hoes linked up with these CAC scammers that drain these NBA players for everything they got. I remember reading a story about how a lot of these chicks that NBA players f*ck on the side are linked to pimps controlled by the very owners of the team. Once you get signed up they try to get you to give up all the dollars you just got. How we still slaves in 2016
Pay $17 mill to get robbed by this brehs.
Hope the p*ssy was worth it.
Read the link I posted. The advisors are the ones funneling them to the classes. She told him that people would be out to get him and to try to screw him out of money and to be on guard.damn that sucks, NBA should offer classes to these young guys..too many guys getting their money taken easily
