April 28 news, today, NBA star Jamal Crawford participated in a show, recalling that when he got his first NBA contract, he was plagued by relatives and friends flocking to "borrow money".
Crawford was selected by the Cavaliers with the eighth overall pick in the first round in 2000, and was subsequently traded to the Bulls to start his career, playing for the Bulls, Knicks, Eagles, Clippers and other teams, and was elected the best 6th man three times.
In 2012, Crawford signed a four-year, $21.7 million contract with the Clippers, the largest contract of his career.
Today, Crawford recalled on the show when he signed his first contract with the Bulls, "Since then, all the friends and family have come to visit, including some of the children I grew up with and have known for more than a decade. They said to me, 'I need some money on hand to turn around', 'I want to buy a car, borrow me some money', 'My daughter needs money, borrow me a little', in short, all kinds of reasons, I didn't think so much at the time, try to help them. ”
"They didn't know that my contract was subject to a large tax deduction, not a one-time payment, they only saw the total number of contracts, and then said to me, 'Brother, you are developed, you have to help us change our fate.'" Once I don't borrow money, they say I don't care if my brother lives or dies. A dude looked up to me 10 times, and whenever I was a little unhappy, he said, 'You've changed.'" I'm really sad, we've been friends since we were growing up. ”
"So then every time I go back in the offseason, I have to carry cash with me, I don't know when someone will come to me to borrow money, I feel like an ATM, so the first year of my career is really tough for me."
For Crawford's experience that year, netizens have said, "Rich in the mountains have distant relatives", "this borrowing culture is really the same everywhere", "This story is too true everywhere", "this is why the bottom blacks have developed to move to the white community", "borrowed thousands of knives, he is not embarrassed to find someone to chase after the debt, people also say, you Crawford millions of dollars a year, this ten thousand dollars is in a hurry to use? "The poor are in the downtown area and no one asks, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains." "Change the loan to want, will they still return it to you?!" "Iverson is such a poor man" "People who borrow money can really make up any reason." When they made it up, it was as if they thought everyone else was stupid. "Say friends, friends are not amiable." Friends are people who meet on the road, people's hearts are not enough, this snake swallows elephants, and friends turn their faces are enemies.
