So Klay Thompson is not getting his allowance this week!

[BayArea Breez]

U are obviously just arguing to be arguing. I got it. have u ever heard of cases where family members take atvantage of family members? But, but, but..... fukk outta here. U are dumb and naive as shyt if u think that parents/ family members don't take atvantage of their kids money. I'm done roastin your weak azz "argument"

yeah keep speaking from YOUR experience and stop associating that with Klay's. Just keep it moving because you only roasted yourself and your family

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Parents know their kids fam. They have 2 other kids that play semi pro basketball/baseball and they may or may not do the same to them based on their maturity. They probably know Klay would run thru that paper and then he'd be trying to move back in with them. Klay grew up with Ryan Sheckler, from watching Ryan's show on MTV years ago I can see that that area was a rich ass neighborhood and Mychal Thompson never really made real money in the nba and he's living better than Antoine Walker who touched over 100 million so obviously he knows how to manage money.

Man, I get all that. I understand that Klays pops wants to look out for him financially. But when is Klay goin to live on his own and become responsible for his finances? U can only be hand held for so long.

Why do u keep bringin up my family as if I'm speakin from experience? Are u slow?
I'm speaking in terms of athletes and others who have been taken atvantage of by family members. This has nothin to do with me or my family. Why are u so gatdamn obsessed about my father/family? Like that has anything to do with anything?

What's the difference from that and having an accountant issue you a monthly stipend? The goal is probably to get him used to only living off $1200 a month while he's In his 20's. By the time he gets in his 30's he should be used to it. During the lockout his pops was paying for all his expenses out of his own pocket while NBA nikkas that were already in the league for years had to get loans. You're wrong about this 1 fam.

 

[cleanface coney]

its good points on both sides int this thread but honestly

if yo pops willing to do that as long as he not getting over you good

shyt i trust my pops more than the bank he still holding alot of my money i just feel safer

The difference is that even when u have a financial advisor, u are stil in control of your own money. U have the final say. Klays checks go directly into his fathers account. Klay doesn't even see the money. My point is, he is bein treated like a little kid. I have to fact check the part about Klays pops payin for all his expenses out of his own pocket

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Mychal Thompson says he won't fine him the 35k because it an unjustified fine by the league.

Listening to some of these young players, I have no problem with it. Most are on track to be apart of the 2033 version of ESPN's Broke.

Bernie Kosar: Former QB Exposes Pitfalls of Athletes Trusting Family in 'Broke' | Bleacher Report

At one point in the film Kosar, who was obviously emotional throughout his interview, said he knew almost from the beginning that his father was siphoning money. While the elder Kosar had used some of Bernie's money to pay for things like mortgages and car payments, it later came out that he also had a side deal with the Cleveland Browns worth $1 million.

Nonetheless, he continued allowing his father to manage his finances. According to Bernie, the overarching reason for that decision was that he hoped beyond hope that the money could repair his childhood memories and the relationship with his father.

That yearning for a bond between family members does not exist just within athletes but is a worldwide psychological phenomenon. There are very few people reading this who would not do everything and anything to help out family members, particularly parents.

Kosar's story, along with many of the others, exposed the sobering truth that you can't trust anybody when millions of dollars are involved—especially family.

While we have heard countless stories of "friends" using athletes, Broke exposed family figures as the biggest leeches for athlete checkbooks. Reading into some of the comments in the film, it seemed like where friends hoped to be cut in on the cash cow, even the most minor family members expected a taste of the big money.

For the viewing public, Broke was a story we have heard many times told in a new way. For athletes, the film should serve as an unfortunate lesson that there is only one person you can truly trust with your finances, and that person is staring you in the mirror.

The difference is Bernie's dad was poor. Klay's dad works for the Lakers and ESPN. Big difference.

 

[Fredrick Thuglas]

Pro athletes go broke at a ridiculous rate, his pops is just looking out for him

By coddling instead of teaching. What happens when his dad isn't able to continue to breast feed him? :thinking:

He becomes a 30 year old with huge pile of money and life lessons from his pop instead of a 30 year old with a huge collection of cars and hard lessons from Freecreditreport.com

Privilege >>>> Experience belee dat

basically mean he couldn't get the ass morally without first putting a ring on it. I might've had to wife her up pretty quickly given the same circumstances. plus the way she looks

supposedly they met when they were teens at some kinda christian summer camp. she ain't no groupie goldiggin hoe like most of these other athletes marry.

all I know is my parents got me a checking account at age 14, and taught me about banking as a freshman in high school. I'm talking about writing down all my purchases and writing them in the little checkbook ledger and reconciling it every month when the statement came. My pops made me do that shyt religiously. so by the time I was able to get a job at 16, I pretty much knew all about how to handle my meager finances and what not and always have a little money stashed.

 

[Ronnie Lott]

Yeah ok..... I garantee you this nikka klay ends up 10x better off then most players that make more then him.... Technically his dad don't control shyt... He's just delegating that "power" to him. And he's a smart nikka for doing it because even I know I'd blow that money so fast

That simply speaks on your financial irresponsibility.
