Why do NBA players all feel the need to buy expensive cars with their first paychecks? Most of em know jack**** about cars anyways, the only see $$$,$$$.$$ and flip open their wallets.

where is the financial planning? Yeah this is a good paying gig, but for you Alec Burks, its a 10 year career. How you gon pay for stuff the rest of your life? Maybe I'm old cat thinking, but I'm done smh

I understand what you're saying, but A8L's range from $75-$135k. Yes, that is quite an expensive car. The thing is, when you're making over $2-5 mil over the next 3 years, spending 2-5% of you're yearly salary on a toy isn't necessarily bad considering the average person buys a $25-$30k car when they're making $60k a year. I understand that a successful NBA career is extremely unpredictable especially when one injury could end it, but if you're gonna live life in financial fears, you're gonna have a bad time. But to each their own.

Alec Burks has made 4 million so far in his career and is guaranteed another 2.3 million. No matter how good/bad he is, he will pocket 6 million dollars. So, what financially, has he done wrong?

Let's say he gives himself $250,000 a year to live on. That is $750,000. Let's say he dropped another $250,000 on that car. That equals 1 million dollars over three years. That means, after taxes, he will still have over 2 million dollars that he has invested. That would give him $80,000 a year to live on the rest of his life, if he never makes another penny or works another day in his life. That also doesn't include the additional 8 million the Jazz would pay him if they picked up his options.

Just because he bought a car doesn't mean he isn't taking care of his finances.
