You know you are lacking a certain capacity when you have a dream chance at an NBA career and you do this.
Even if you played 3-4 years at minimum salary in the NBA you would take home between $3.3 and $4.4M U.S dollars, pre tax. If you prove yourself, you will make exponentially more. $100K A year is a great living anywhere and you could sleep walk through life making $1M+ if you had any self control.

Toronto Raptors centre Jontay Porter was banned Wednesday from the NBA following an investigation into prop-betting irregularities.
"A league investigation found that Porter violated league rules by disclosing confidential information to sports bettors, limiting his own participation in one or more games for betting purposes, and betting on NBA games," the league said in a lengthy statement.
Porter was away from the Raptors for the final three weeks of the season while the NBA investigated him. The investigation was first reported by ESPN and confirmed by commissioner Adam Silver, who said on April 10 that what Porter is accused of is a “cardinal sin.”
Porter, 24, joined the Raptors this season on a two-way contract and appeared in 26 games, making five starts. The six-foot-11 centre averaged 4.4 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.3 assists over 13.8 minutes this season.
