Another ******* athlete who has no respect for money. Unfortunately, he won't be the last.

Too bad.

Why would he not invest any money? Did he think that it would never run out buying houses, cars, watches, and treating 70 people? Just dumb.

Reminds me of a joke that would violate the TOS.

We knew this about two years ago so it's not surprise it finally came to this. Guy has been a wreck financially even when he was on the Heat.

Shame, but it's his own fault.

Maybe this'll be one of those "addition by subtraction" cases........ at least he probably doesn't have many of those fraudulent, shallow people of his entourage who wouldn't have been part of his entourage were it not for his liberal choices with money around them and for them......... I'll bet the majority of those guys are probably in somebody else's entourage looking for the next nice superstar who is loose with his money and gets a kick for being accepted by people.

This Boston.com article states that he did invest in some real estate that's worth a quarter of what he put in. He also established a charitable organization.

It just seems that overall, he just didn't know how to say no to people......... probably a dangerous combination to have, a lot of money with neither sound financial decision making nor the ability to say no..........

Hopefully this can be a learning experience for him............
