There are hundreds of athletes that came from situations just as bad if not worse than Antoines, and most of them aren't in the same predicament. What yousaid is true, especially the guilt part but from the outside looking, Antoine just comes off as weak.

Sound like he was supporting a lot of folks, but he would've still been good if it wasn't for the gambling. Thats probably how he loss the majority ofit. He better start selling houses, cars and then head to Europe for that tax-free money.

I could live just off of 500k by myselfOriginally Posted by Super Producer J
$110 million? Son, are you effing kidding me?
Look, you'd be set, living luxuriously for the rest of your life with $15 - $20 mil and no investments. I could make it work with $10 mil. I understand he was taking care of his people, but that obviously ends miles ahead of 70+ people.
Sympathy?

He didn't blow through 110 million. After taxes, agent fees, manager fees, ect. He probably saw around 45-55 million. But still. How do you blow throughthat much money.

I know 'Toine takes care of his peeps, he actually looked out for me once, I am cool with one of the people who hesupported and he left us tickets at the will-call booth at Arco Arena when they played the Kings. We talked to him after the game, he is a cool dudeall-around, but as evidenced he made some bad finacial decisions. But it is true, anytime my boy needed anything...be it rent or phone bill money...he'dhit Toine up and voila it was taken care of.
