He's been signed for a while now. I'm sure this is not his first purchase.
I really, really, really, hope that his team or even the league has some provisions for giving financial services to these newly created very young, millionaires.
My understanding is that Shaq did very well with his money.
Sadly a lot of these up starts get caught in the material world and never seem able to emerge responsibly until its too late. Bottom line is this, if you got the coins and the white man don't want you shoppin in their place, put a period behind it and move on. What makes this kid think he's any different from average blacks anyway, like get with the program son...educate yourself and your white children...cause we all know despite the slight, the brother is still happy choosing his life in white!!
NOthing wrong with materialism if you can afford it.
Oh, but it is....especially in the black community. Materialism is not a privilege when you come from poverty.
"Privilege"?
Not sure of your usage in this context.
THe kid is worth 5 million dollars with more on the way.
Providing he is planning for his post retirement, I wish him all the enjoyment of his material wealth that he can handle.
It is his "privilege" in that he has earned the money to do with as he wants.
Because it is his.
