Rule #1: don't buy your friends all-access passes to the theme parks. They should wait in line like everybody else.

I'm going to go ahead and assume GTime made sure everyone had a Coke can for the 5 dolla' discount.

Oh, he didn't buy it for them, in fact he probably got one from one of them.

I would think you end up with less hangers on when they find out they are the ones being scammed.

Rule #2 "I forgot my wallet"

Am I the only one that just found out that Trey's name is Alfonso?

DL to Hayward and his agent:

"We can't pay you that extra $2 million a year more that what we're offering, but we'll sweeten the pot by throwing in a few freebies: A 2014 Honda Civic or Ford Focus (both Hybrid models so you can save on gas). A lifetime membership to Gamestop so you can get discounts on those used videos games you love, and a special discount card to any Olive Garden restaurant in Utah that entitles you to 20% off your bill. How does that sound? Let me get the paperwork started."

Good for the kid. It seems as though he comes from good stock.

This translates to him as a basketball player. To have this level of discipline with money at this age in this culture of excess speaks volumes about his level of commitment. That commitment is what usually seperate good from great. If he isn't out spending money then he's probably in a gym working on his game somewhere. I expect to see the kind of jump he had from his freshman year to his sophomore year at UM next year.

.....yeah, too bad he didn't save that $2,000 or so he spent on all those jailhouse tats! Now, what would be impressive, VERY impressive to me, is if you could tell me he's tattoo-less! That would make him BOTH smart and frugal!

Because he is being thoughtful with his finances he won't have to work when he's done with his playing career. He can get "jailhouse" tattoos all he wants. Your personal opinion on tattoos has nothing to do with the quality of player or person Burke is or isn't.

....well thanks for setting me straight on that! By the way, 50% of all NBA players end up broke 5 years after they retire! Link to follow!

....

 

[carolinajazz]

.....my bad! It's 60% that go broke....and it's 100% of all NBA basketball players......not 50%!

"In 2008, the NBA Players’ Association stated that 60 percent of pro basketball players go broke within five years of retirement. That’s no surprise considering their extravagant spending.......mainly on bling and tattoos!"
