rich dad poor dad

i was just readin the book "rich dad poor dad" by robert kiyosaki. in one part of teh book, a millionaire professional basketball player lost all his money in less than a year and was fired from a car wash because he refused to remove his championship ring.

who was this basketball player? (and yes, i'm asking)

Michael Jordan

It's probably not him, but that story could fit Isaiah Rider.

did he win one?

Its a sad day when former pro ball players resort to washing cars.

Maybe he likes washing cars?

ah, the memories of ronald artest applying at radioshack..

well im definitely interested in this now

did he win one?

One, with the Lakers in 2001. He wasn't on the playoff roster though.

still, he gets a ring.

^^ same with Andrew Gaze

and bateer

Too bad GP might not be able to...

still, he gets a ring.

I know, that's why I suggested him in the first place. I was just mentioning the fact he wasn't on the playoff roster, which is why it's easy to forget he did get a ring.

Kenny Anderson pops to mind, though I'm sure he didn't win a ring. I just remembered the comment he made during the lockout that he couldn't afford to keep all seven of his cars or something.

. Poor millionares.

Oh that reminds me, there's this show I heard about called Till Debt Do Us Part, where these rich couples who make $200 000 a year had to pay off a $500 000 debt, so they had to learn how to go on a budget and be able to pay off that debt

Truly amazing how people can manage that...

Nah, he didn't win a ring. Everything else would seem to fit though.

or maybe the author just made up the story to prove a point.

but if it's true, that would be something...

Could be I suppose, but then if it was hypothetical he'd probably conjure up a name. It's probably someone fairly obscure, perhaps not even someone from recent times. Can't shake the Rider parallel though.

Maybe it's someone that's a close friend of Charles Oakley or Tim Hardaway because those players have a carwash business.

what's the book about?

Quite an oxymoron.
