This article failed to mention the latest casualty of poor use of money — multiple time NBA scoring champ — Alan Iverson. He blew away $154 Million in earnings and now can’t pay his bills.

Man, even if I bought everything I ever wanted I don’t think I could blow through 154 million bucks.

He must have some expensive hangers-on (aka posse)

Alan Iverson is a good, glaring example. So is/was Michael Vick. Vick’s current $100M contract is mostly for repaying debt and recovering from financial apocalypse. He is actually receiving only a small percentage of that contract for himself.

There are also people like Leonard Tose who gambled away the Philadelphia Eagles.
