Walker led the league in 3 point attempts for 3 years, two of the years by about 100. His best year in those 3 years was 36.7%

My favorite Antoine moment:
"Antoine, why do you take so many threes?"
"Because there ain't no fours"

The shame of it was he was actually a pretty decent offensive player from midrange and inside. If he focused his game there, he could have been much better

I really do get blowing a ton of money
I wouldn't fucking do it, but I can see how it happens, especially with family and gambling and shit
but how in the holy fuck do you not take like 10 million, stick it aside, and say "this is for me, this is my retirement" even the shadiest, most crooked accountant should insist on this

During his heyday with the Celtics, Walker played and lived with brash confidence. On the court, there were the reckless 3-pointers, the improbable game-winning (and sometimes game-losing) shots, the trademark wiggle as he celebrated his biggest baskets. Off the court, there were the cars, the jewelry, the houses, the suits, the gambling. He liked to move in an outsized entourage; his mother estimates that, during his playing days, he was supporting 70 friends and family members in one way or another. And speaking of his mother, he built her a mansion in the Chicago suburbs, complete with an indoor pool, 10 bathrooms, and a full-size basketball court.
“Here’s the thing: Antoine always did it big,’’ said another former Celtics teammate. “When you make the large sums of money he made because of a max contract and, from my understanding, a pretty large deal from Adidas, I didn’t think he was living out of his range . . .

it's not like he was forced to spend that money. if the accountant told him no, he'd probably just fire the guy. taking care of his extended family, girlfriends, and every dood that said hi to him when he was a kid is way more important when you are 22 and ignorant.

If he put even 2% of his take home into an annuity he wouldn't have to grind it out eating drive through Wendy's (in his friends car) and "playing for crowds as little as 155"
And remember that $110M earned playing is on top of all the bones he got from THIS deal:

The average annual salary in the N.B.A. is $5.85 million, and players are generally secure in the near term. Their retirement years can be completely different. An estimated 60 percent of N.B.A. players are broke within five years of retiring, and 78 percent of N.F.L. players are bankrupt or under financial stress because of joblessness or divorce within two years, according to a report by Sports Illustrated in March. The magazine also reported that many baseball players struggle financially after retirement.

This is what happens when you get people who know nothing and came from poverty and give them more money than most people will ever imagine. I honestly do feel bad for someone like Mike Tyson.
As for the NFL, don't they just FUCK players in the ass with medical shit, early death, etc?

FUCK. Paul Pierce is as COLD AS FUCKING ICE.
He says he is still in love with the game, that he's a huge NBA fan, but there's a problem: He can't get the NBA package at his apartment. So instead Walker heads to local sports bars in Boise-Old Chicago with its 31 beers on tap and army of flat screens, or The Ram or Buster's-and sits on a stool, watching the teams he used to play against. He especially likes watching his old buddy with the Celtics, Paul Pierce, who is only a year younger than him. "I'm happy for him," Walker says of Pierce, with whom he has lost touch.
Asked to discuss Walker for this story, Pierce declines, saying through a Celtics spokesman that he "would rather not go back in time.

dude was just simple and too nice. none of us will understand what it's like to grow up a poor black dude w/ a single mom then suddenly get rich as fuck when you're like 22. suddenly every nig from your old town is begging you for just a thousand a month. then more. you cant say no, you'll feel like a dick and you're scared you'll betray your identity.
then MJ comes along and wants to party with you for years. honestly we'd all probably blow all our money if that happened

Still, now he gets to spend Thanksgivings at home and has become more involved in the lives of his two daughters. (Walker and his fiance, Evelyn Lozada, split in 2009, after he filed for bankruptcy; she's now engaged to Chad Ochocinco, the NFL receiver.)
All these guys, especially Ochocinco, are just idiots. Why would he marry that woman when she's so obviously a sports groupie?

i wish, but lebron seems too savvy for this shit. the only hope is that he is genuinely despised so once he sucks no one will want to see him on ads anymore, unlike MJ

walker got a sweet deal when he was young but his earning power went way down over time. lebron will probably keep earning into the age where he matures and drops a lot of the ghetto posturing.
