Under-educated guys go from having no money to incredible amounts of money (which is always half of the number they list) and can't handle it properly, not quite shocking. I think if most of us were groomed the same way, a lot of us would have these problems too.

The NBA has things in place for new players that educate them on how to deal with the press, how to conduct yourself in a professional manner, and also how to invest and save for the future. Although it's not mandatory to attend. Thinking that it should be.
