But the money is still finite, and I think a lot of them have trouble understanding that.

You can almost predict which pro athlete this will happen to next just based on the level of on/off-field knuckle-headed-ness they display during their playing days. Crazy.

(Of course, if you're giving so damn much of it to your friends, who probably hung around you in the first place because they smelled money from the day they met you, that would go a long way towards explaining how you're so damn broke now).
And I don't see any of Iverson's so-called friends coming out of the woodwork now to help him out.
