Title: NBA'er struggling to put food on table
Post by: El Diablo Blanco on July 27, 2015, 06:54:03 AM
How the fuck is any human supposed to live off of a measly $6.9 million?

It's unlikely new Los Angeles Clippers forward Josh Smith perceives his nearly $7 million salary the same way you do.

The Clippers offered Smith, the ex-Piston and Rocket, a $1.5 million contract for the 2015-16 season, which he signed. The team introduced him to the Los Angeles media Tuesday. On top of that, he is going to make $5.4 million from a prior deal with the Detroit Pistons for a grand total of $6.9 million next year.

Smith let America know of his struggle, as reported by David Whitley of the Orlando Sentinel (via the Detroit Free Press). "At the end of the day, you know, I do have a family," he said. "So it is going to be a little harder on me this year. But I'm going to push through it, you know. ... I made a decision for me and my family."

While most of America might not know what to do with $6.9 million, Smith will attempt to rekindle his play from earlier in the decade that made him one of the most versatile forwards in the NBA while earning a lower sum than he's used to. He's been well-compensated for his performance, bringing in about $91 million so far in his career, according to Whitley.

I can only conclude that Josh Smith is a Getbig fan, living vicariously.

Well, if you take into consideration all of the cars, houses, and luxurious items he will buy, yes, it makes sense that he is worried about putting food on the table for his children.

It's crazy how 5 years earlier these guys are living in the hood.  Bars on their windows.  Living in slums and shit, they become a pro athlete and forget how to live on anything less than a few million dollars.
