At that time, my father bet on all his worth and let my brothers play basketball. That was his entire pension, about 400,000 US dollars. But I also saw many talented children giving up basketball due to family reasons, so I hope some people can have different situations."

" In addition, in the locker room At that time, I heard the most talked about things like cars, women, nightclubs, so many players are at risk of bankruptcy after they have no ball to play. People don’t talk about financial issues. We must normalize talking about finance and money, which is one of the reasons why I set up a company! ”

Paul used to be the chairman of the Players’ Union for a long time, dealing with many players, and knowing many celebrities and other people, so there are definitely resources in connections. With the money earned in life, there is no problem with this. After establishing a company, it probably won’t be too bad. If it doesn’t work, you can ask the “Banana Boat Brothers” to help.
