Yikes. Try again man. You argue two points here:
1 - you will end up broke within 10 years.
If that's the case, Hill would be smarter to take the money. Then, he'd end up broke in 12 years.
2 - If you win, you will be taken care of the rest of your life.
Again, how many championship rings end up on eBay and at pawn shops? Try again with that one.
George Hill has made 45 million dollars. That is great money. That isn't big time money. It isn't legacy money. 180 million? That is big time money.
Sorry, just trying to make the point that the extra $5-$10 million a year does not guarantee financial security. I wasn't trying to imply the majority of NBA players go broke.
And its not so much that you are looked after, my point is you'd always have somewhere that feels like home. I think there is something to be said for that, others may not.
My argument isn't George Hill specific either. I think its common place in most professional American Leagues.
