A report reflecting the economic situation of athletes over the past 30 years shows that 60% of NBA retired players face bankruptcy within five years, and even active players with an average annual salary of $5 million are also heavily in debt.

"Former NBA star xxx is on the verge of bankruptcy." Such reports will always appear in the public's sight every now and then to show off a wave of presence.

NBA players may be very good on the basketball court, but outside the basketball court, they may not be the elite.

For NBA players, losing a lot of money doesn't take a lifetime, more than ten years, or at least four or five years. In 1999, Antoine Walker signed a 6-year, $71 million maximum salary contract with the Celtics. Rick Pitino, then the head coach of the Celtics, told Walker at a press conference: "From now on, you no longer have to worry about spending money."

But in 2010, Walker declared bankruptcy, and his total salary in NBA reached US$108 million, but when he went bankrupt, his debt reached US$12.7 million.

The average career of NBA players is 4.8 years. In other words, most of these people who are young and have no source of income after they are 30 years old. Investing in business and letting "money get out of money" happen is the best way to make a living. But business investment is not as simple as imagined.

Among the NBA players, only a very small number have been in college for four years and obtained a diploma. The subjects chosen by this group of people are by no means financial management, which is extremely difficult. Therefore, in terms of financial management, no matter how high the players' IQ is, they are just laymen.

So, do you think guys like Anthony Walker and Pippen are really stupid? Do you think they can really spend all of their assets just by relying on endless squandering?

Before the 2008 financial crisis, American real estate attracted a lot of investment, and Walker was also tempted. He cooperated with several banks to invest in real estate. The financial crisis broke out, American real estate fell sharply, and Walker's investment failed. Later, he admitted that his losses in real estate investment reached 20 million US dollars.

In other words, once NBA players fail to invest and with high taxes, their open salary has lost 65-70%.

Because of this, when Edward Mondise found Anger and wanted Anger to invest in his own steak restaurant, the first person Anger thought of was Meslav. Because only Meslav could help Anger avoid taking the same path as all the "predecessors".

"NBA stars investing in catering can also be said to be the safest and easiest choice to get returns. Whether it is Jordan or LeBron, the business plans of these two guys start with running the catering industry. So, I think working with me is a very good choice for Ann." At Angel Portland's home, Meslav, Mondeis and Angel himself are starting to discuss investment in detail.

Because of back-to-back and back-to-back, three consecutive games in three days. After the New Year's Day battle, the Trail Blazers got a rare rest time at both ends.

And An Jie also plans to use these two days to make the preliminary conclusion of commercial cooperation.

After listening to Mondeis's proposal, Meslav began to think carefully. Investing in business is also a big challenge for Meslav, a sports manager.

Most Anjie could only understand the conversation between Meslav and Mondeis. After all, business is not his field.

But Anjie also knew that he had to learn about investing. Meslav might be able to handle endorsement and other activities for him, but Meslav could not help him manage his investment for the rest of his life.

In the past, An Jie felt that he had to play basketball well with all his heart. But in the next year, his child was about to be born, and An Jie must shoulder greater responsibilities. Basketball must still be played well, but An Jie must also start to contact other things. He has to consider his life after his basketball career. After all, after having his own family, An Jie can't just think about himself.

The negotiations went smoothly. Meslav proposed that the Mondes Steakhouse must be renamed Anjie Steakhouse. All logo designs, decoration styles, etc. must be brought back. Only by giving full play to the maximum role of Anjie, the business of this steakhouse will be prosperous.

Such and such a series of negotiations indicate that Anjie's first investment in his life will be very likely to be successful, but when it was twelve o'clock noon, Anjie politely rejected the invitation to have lunch with Mondeis.

"I'd better go to Moda Center to have a nutritious meal. After all, at 2 pm, I still have training?" Anjie smiled and said goodbye to Mondeis and Meslav. Discussion is important, but at least at this stage of Anjie's life, the importance of basketball is far higher than anything else.

The Trail Blazers came from behind in the New Year's Day battle and finally won the game with a score of 15 points, which made the morale of the Trail Blazers players continue to rise again.

Especially Robin Lopez, this guy became extremely excited after scoring 1514 data in the last game.

During training today, An Jie could clearly feel that Robin was not excited yet. His seriousness in training made An Jie think that he was playing a formal game.

But this is also good, and you maintain high intensity during training, so that Angel and Robin can perform easily during competitions.

As long as Robin doesn't make any moves that will put Anjie at risk of injury, Ricard will not stop and will become increasingly fierce. With Robin pushing Anjie like this during training, it is difficult for Anjie to decline in his condition.

The active training status of the two centers gradually infected the entire team. This afternoon, the quality of the entire training was very high.

The reason why the champion team is a champion team is not just because they performed better than their opponents in those 48 minutes on the court.

After the training, the atmosphere in the locker room and other things that cannot be seen by the outside world, there is also a big gap between the champion team and other teams.

Seeing the players' training so perfect this afternoon, Ricard couldn't help but start to worry in his heart. What are he worried about? He was worried whether the Bobcats, which will play against the Trail Blazers tomorrow, will be beaten out of shape.

Al Jefferson received a pass from Kemba Walker again, and Angel once again pressed against Jefferson's back.

At the beginning of the season, people had great expectations for the combination of Jefferson and Walker. But the Bobcats' record of 12 wins and 19 losses is obviously not meeting expectations.

Today, Kemba Walker played very bravely at the beginning. But when this guard who likes to hit the basket met Anger's defense, he got such a terrible data as 2 of 10 shots.

Walker was completely blocked, so the Bobcats had to make trouble with Al Jefferson.

However, when this guy who was born as a power forward met An Jie, the pure fifth position, he seemed very powerless.

Angel did whatever he wanted on Al Jefferson's head, and Jefferson performed well, but every time he wanted to score on Angel's head, he had to pay a huge physical price.

This time, Jefferson's small hook shot after the back failed to hit. The game was already in the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, and the missed goal also indicates that Jefferson's physical strength was almost over.

The subsequent game turned out to be a massacre. As Ricard was worried, the Trail Blazers in excellent form completely made the Bobcats feel ashamed.

Wesley Matthews scored 25 points with 6 of 5 three-pointers, Lillard was even more exaggerated, making 6 of 6 three-pointers, scoring 24 points. On the bench, Batum also scored 15 points and 10 assists with double-double data. Coupled with Anger's 26 points and 11 rebounds, the Trail Blazers once again staged a terrifying massacre with a huge gap of 104 to 134,30 points at home.

Now, the Trail Blazers have become a nightmare for these not-so-strong teams. No one wants to be humiliated by such a big point difference, but the Trail Blazers have no intention of showing mercy to anyone.

In the following days in January, Anjie's steak house began to enter the implementation stage. The Trail Blazers' pace never stopped. As for Catherine, her belly began to swell.
