When you've been broke your whole life and someone just throws $34 mil at you...................that's a few lifetimes worth of money, its very easy to just stop giving a f**k.

34 million would be me sitting on my butt wondering who was next in line to rub my feet. I'm not going to hate.

I remember when Hawk fans said he was going to be better than Willis

I am not wondering how it happened, just saying it's pretty dumb to throw away an opportunity that most would kill for.

True but hopefully he's smart with his money, after taxes and everything else, even with a few spending binges, he should still have a few million laying around that he can use to live off of for life if he's smart with it.

I was thinking you buy a few franchise restaurants, open up a gym, put the rest into real estate and mutual funds and use all of that for income for the rest of your life.

Yeah but I was thinking like Aaron Curry. If the guy doesn't have the drive to work out and master his craft, which was a game, I doubt he has the drive to Magic Johnson out lol.

Almost positive they had the 4th pick that year, too lazy to research it more though
