What really happens when an NBA player gets their first big contract? 🎙️ In this clip from The Underground Lounge, Lou Will and Spank Horton discuss the intense pressure of the "we made it" culture. Lou Will breaks down the night-and-day difference in expectations between Black and White NBA players when it comes to financially supporting family and friends. Spank confirms the exact same pressure exists for comedians once they become the breadwinner.
Before getting into the financial realities, Lou Will drops a hilarious story about buying his first Escalade and Benz, and sending them straight to the chop shop for custom rims and exhausts. The guys also debate Dr. Umar's rules on marriage, with Lou Will pointing out that legendary activist Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had a massive positive impact on Black culture despite marrying a white woman. Plus, Spank shares a tragic (but hilarious) story about losing out on inheriting his grandfather's '90s Nissan Maxima station wagon.
Do you think the expectations are unfair for newly drafted players? Let us know in the comments! 👇
