What it does is affords you the opportunity to find out what makes you happy. -
And this ngga just had to go to ySmokey Tha Bandit wrote: »Smokey Tha Bandit wrote: »he's already rich tho, why not be rich AND happy? just sayin.
With no job skills. Players who play 10, 12 years find a way to go broke 3 years after. He played 3, 4 yrs
Not readin that dumb ? bc 1) he still has that early money that hes LIVING off, and 2) he's too young to realize how easy he had it and how seriously he fuked up
thats because alot of them like to spend their money on dumb ? like cars, baby mamas, gambling, etc if he invests his money wisely and doesnt get into trouble then he should be straight. open up some dispensaries in colorado or something, just use the money. you dont need job skills if you are already rich.
Context clues man. For 1 He a richmond ngga. He went to my alma mater. Also check the wrist wear and flicks in the pic. He already dress like a trendy ngga he'll blow it al on skinny jeans. He's gonna regret this lmao
I aint hatin im just sayin! Hope im wrong
Probably why you should read the article. He said the watch was a gift somebody gave to him....as for Sanders himself he said it clear as day in the article. Simply having alot of money wasn't enough to make him happy and the path he was on he was more likely to do something stupid than he is now. He's probably more likely now to keep what money he's made now that he's happy with his life as opposed to if he had kept playing, trying to self medicate for whatever mental issue he's dealing with, and blow his money being irresponsible because he's another depressed person with money just spending it on random ? . -
? really mad at themselves.
Talking bout he gon regret it and be broke in 5-10 years.
He got enough money then most of will make in our entire life.
Let that man be his own man. -

Word. He's 6'10"- 6'11". You can't teach height, he only like 27, he'll be back in the League in a year or two -
There’s a story unfolding in Sanders’ head that he’s trying to put into words. “Automobiles,” “electricity,” a three-century era of technological progress that, for him, feels like too much, too soon: “We just exploded in time, and now we’re in this point where we’ve been living this way for, what, 300 years almost, not even that,” he says. “People have displaced emotions, anxieties; they need to create. That’s what we come from. We’d lived that way for 15 million years. Now, it’s this 300-year span, and everyone’s working, unfortunately.”
This is some great philosophical stuff, though. Humans have had to adapt really fast to a new way of living since the industrial revolution and it is continuously changing. We went from farming land, sticking around family all day, telling stories around the campfire and marrying virgins to working alone in an Office, playing video games, barely seeing our family and getting aids from Thots. Well, well. -
He quit so he could smoke weed.

Came to say this and name drop the book "Ishmael". To say its profound is an understatement.

Lets break this down ,in case yall dont get what you're saying:
'? it, he dont care for the money. He just wann do,what he want.'
Ok, but he can do what he want
bc he mde tht money. Like he's the only ngga alive that want to smoke weed and paint all day.
But If he didnt have the money, he'd have to work t live! He has a kid. He'd be baggin groceries at Ukrops, he same ngga,same destes, but life would force his hands
So: Nba money for 4 years allows him to do whatever tf he wants to do....for a FINITE amount of time. He's 26!
Nba money for 8,10,12 years, and he can do whatever he wants FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE

I could understand if it was similar to the Royce White situation but he just really likes weed. I'm happy that he's happy.

So how is this different than somebody who changes career paths because they're unhappy? Or people who join the military just for a better start in life? Then end up in school later in life anyway.
He made millions & he's only 26. Who said he just wants to sit around all day? I've seen people go back to school & change careers at a later age with less resources bruh. -
A lot of players smoke weed all day and play in the league.
It's deeper then rap. -

That ? dumbasfuck...Money doesn't equal happiness...but it will let you buy some ? that will make you happy... -
He quit so he could smoke weed.
Players have came out and said more than half the league smokes weed on a regular basis. That ain't why he quit -

Failed about 4 drug tests while in the league. But like he said he suffered from anxiety & all that so I believe him when he said it was more for the medical aspects."It's something I feel strongly about, just to let you know something personal about me," Sanders said in an interview with the Journal Sentinel and nba.com. "I will deal with the consequences from it. It's a banned substance in my league. But I believe in marijuana and the medical side of it. I know what it is if I'm going to use it.
"I study it and I know the benefits it has. In a lot of ways we've been deprived. You can't really label it with so many other drugs that people can be addicted to and have so many negative effects on your body and your family and your relationships and impairment. This is not the same thing.
"The stigma is that it's illegal. I hate that. Once this becomes legal, this all will go away. But I understand for my work it's a banned substance. I will deal with the consequences and I apologize again to my fans for that." -
Money doesn't last forever especially if you just spending it up and not making more building it up

I used to live next door to a cat that played for the nfl. Except for the other ppl who came through to visit you wouldn't know unless he told you.
No luxury cars, regular crib, ? don't do ? but stay in the house and go workout. ? just love to play ball and be in that lifestyle.
He probably wasn't one of the elite players; he probably wasn't making that much.
Damn this ? wins the hater post of the year -
I couldn't post the whole article, it's like 8 more paragraphs

I think dude will be back, he needs a year or two off to get his mind right. He's a defensive C/PF, those dudes always get looks on NBA rosters.
Greg Oden just got another shot to sign with an NBA team
