I think the point is that the amount of money they actually have net is lower than you probably would have expected.

Welcome to the world of taxes. Only difference between NBA players and rich people in general (that liberals always cry aren't "paying their fair share") is the 3% agent fee.

There are a few definitions of "working class".
Under Marx's, they are indeed working class, even if they do make a ton of money.

http://www.investopedia.com/terms/w/working-class.asp

DEFINITION of 'Working Class'
A socioeconomic term used to describe persons in a social class marked by jobs that provide low pay, require limited skill and/or physical labor, and have reduced education requirements. Unemployed persons or those supported by a social welfare program are often included in this group.


This is another topic where joel uses his own definitions that no one else does.

BTW, he has me on ignore and can't see this, specifically because he got tired of having his dumb posts getting trashed this easily.

You gotta believe having a large contract doesn't automatically mean you are set for life and untouchably wealthy.

It reminds me of what happened to former WWE Champion Shawn Michaels who once earned a fortune annually but after a crippling near career ending back injury and a laundry list of other problems, forced him to earn less in the second half of his career. And years of taxes, charity donations, helping out his family/friends quickly started to add up.

He was in debt and had a family to support. So out of desperation had to crawl to the self-made millionaire JBL and became JBL's 'assistant' in order to feed his family and keep his head above water.

NV1OabX

The once great Michaels spent the next few months of his life having to carry JBL's bags, make his food, clean his home, interfere in his matches and do all sorts of degrading, humiliating things to make up the cash he needed.

http://www.wrestlingmedia.org/wv/01/15498/15498.jpg

And it was an extremely dark period of his life. Now imagine that instead of someone like Michaels who was an extraordinary man living an extraordinary life that lead into an extraordinary situation. You're an incredibly ordinary NBA Player.

Well you just have to wonder how many people will be foreced into situations were they have little or no choice than to do things that they do not want to do in order to achieve and support their families.

Remember over 60% of NBA players end up bankrupt. Never trust the long line of "0s" you see on the bottom line to be all that they appear

It just goes to show that anything can happen in the wild world of finance, and in the WWE.

Yeah...kinda bad when you think about how much they actually generate. Also makes you think how any and everything isn't handled based of NBA taxes alone. That's millions, if not billions of dollars collected per year by the gov't and they do what with it?
