    I feel sorry for him. The NBA needs to increase player education so they don't end up broke like this fool.

    He's earned like 84 million in his entire career, not bad at all

    It must be good to be Larry "I barely shot over 40% over my entire career" Hughes. Basically put up one decent season with a crappy team and inflated statistics, and Dan Gilbert will throw you a $70 million contract to be Pippen to Lebron's Michael... ahh, the irony, since Lebron is barely Pippen himself.

    Driving that Lambo doesn't look very comfortable for him. His eyes are already near the cut of the windshield

    LOL, don't hate. He's made quite a bit of coin and its quite possible that these things fall within his retirement budget. What I do feel sorry about is him flaunting all that when people are struggling. I know someone who drives his Mercedes S-series in a very poor country, too 'rich' for my tastes.

    Because him not using his money during the lockout will make everyone's lives better. Same faulty logic as the "look at the poor kids in Africa!" bs. Not spending money or not eating will not magically teleport essentials to people that need it.

    The better argument would be to complain he is not donating money to organizations, not because he's driving a Lamborghini...

    People don't understand- money is made to be spent, not hoarded. Good for Hughes.
