Lamar Odom, Trick Rolling, Broke Athletes And Entertainers.

The truth is Lamar Odom has been getting “trick rolled” all of his career, first by his “team” (the agents, managers, lawyers) and then by his wife and the poisonous brood of battle axes that is her family. They are so bad off; they drove Bruce Jenner, the Olympic decathlon gold medal winner, to putting on a dress and becoming Caitlyn Jenner.  Bruce just got tired of fighting the crazy shrews and just gave in-“you can’t beat ’em, screw it join ’em.”  Similarly, Lamar gave in to the insanity of the FAKE-ALITY TV sham of stardom, grabbing it with both hands and two feet. Calling his wife and her family of fakers stars, is like calling them the greatest quarterbacks, boxing champions, or tech innovators of all time. All statements are equally FALSE.  They are nothings and nobody’s, and only were and are around Lamar Odom to get publicity so they can go out and further whore themselves out while pimping the dumb and stupid for millions of dollars in ill-gotten gains.

 

Unfortunately, this is not rare, it is the norm with athletes and entertainers, and it is why they end up so broke and miserable. The first mistake athletes and entertainers make, especially the Black ones, is BELIEVING that these agents, managers, lawyers care about them. No son they don’t care about YOU, they care about getting their cut from YOU. They want their percentage of YOUR hard earned money and much more if they can scam it (just ask Terrell Owens who is suing his agent for scamming him out of millions).  I grew up around world champion boxers, and met endless pro athletes and entertainers, and none of them got this simple reality:, if they could not run fast, jump high, or shake their ass well enough to get a contract, these people that they think LOVE them would not give them the time of day if they were wearing ten watches.

 

No matter how you explain it to them, no matter how you SHOW them they are being played and ripped off, they just do not believe it…until it’s too late and they are broke  with nothing.   Look at the list of athletes that blew  $50 million, $100 million, $300 million dollars in a matter of a few years when the average American family works 20 years to gross $1 million before taxes http://www.rantsports.com/clubhouse/2014/08/07/20-athletes-who-have-gone-broke-and-filed-for-bankruptcy/.

 

These guys never consider that the guys “advising” them just want to get paid, and see them as a meal ticket that keeps the advisor’s wife shopping on Rodeo Drive, in the latest Bentley, and of course in  the second $20 million mansion in Miami. They are so brainwashed by the athletic industry that they don’t get it until it’s far too late and they are near 30 with no career, no job, no skills, no money, and NO FRIENDS and a bunch of debt and child support.  It is what 50 Cent is finding out with his bankruptcy and it is what MC Hammer found out the hard way, the #1 goal of these advisors is to make sure they get as much money out of you as possible before you blow it on a dozen women with your children, spend it on 50 cars, or lose it at the casino gambling and renting hookers.

 

That is the game, “How soon can I set this guy up for a big hit?” The agents, lawyers, and managers are no better than the hookers-watch “30 For 30: Broke” on YouTube and just get sick to your stomach.  Many a celebrity and athlete is broke by having their wives and girlfriends as their advisors, who rob their bank accounts while they are with them and then really clean them out with the alimony or palimony settlement.  Ask world champion boxer Sugar Shane Mosley who had to give up his title belts to his ex when she SUED for divorce. This also happened to Ed McMahon who made a $100 million in his career and ended up homeless, Donald Trump had to save him by buying the house from the bank.

 

50 Cent is broke because his advisors and handlers didn’t notify his insurance company that 50 Cent lost $10 million lost lawsuit to a DJ ( DJ Richard ‘DJ Xzulu’ Dunkerson, stars have insurance against being sued), he was advised to post a sex tape and then fight the case rather than settle it which cost him another $7 million, and he lost a $17 million lawsuit by breaking a headphone deal (he is now suing those attorneys for $75 million for their “great” advice).  Add it up folks, that’s $34 million CASH gone up in smoke. This is the same thing that happened to everyone from Antoine Walker to Allen Iverson- athletes and entertainers have to understand THEY will pay the ticket on the lawsuit NOT their advisors. They best be sure of WHO they are taking advice from before they take it.

 

There is a larger problem, the big picture-the grand picture, the PLAYER’S UNIONS. How could multi-millionaire athletes STILL follow these unions when 85% of NFL and NBA players are bankrupt 3.5 years after their career ends? Can you imagine if 85% of the people that paid into Social Security, bought stocks on Wall Street, were partners at Apple or Microsoft, ended up broke?!   The players are being PLAYED. How could the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) and the National Football League Players Association (NFLPA) still get people to join them with such abysmal records? It is INSANE.  I sat back and thought, “What is the answer to avoiding athletes going broke?” It took me 5 minutes to design a plan that makes sure that no pro athlete that has signed a contract of $500,000 or more COULD end up broke-it would be impossible.

 

So why haven’t the NFLPA or the NBPA come up with this plan? Simple, they are making money off of the player’s going broke. They have the same goals as the player’s advisors-filling their own pockets even if it empties the pockets of every player on Earth.

 

Time to leave the typewriter behind and go with the IPAD Brothas. The unions are old, slow, and fat-fat off of YOUR blood, sweat, and pain. Not WHY do players go for this, HOW do they go for this? Would you pay dues and support Bernie Madoff as he rots in jail doing 150 years for scamming? Tell me how what the unions are doing is any different than what Bernie Madoff did? The average NBA player makes over $5 million a year, the average NFL player $1.9 million, this adds up to billions of dollars in contracts with guaranteed payouts, yet the players get NO guarantee from their unions on living a good comfortable life after their career ends?

 

Back to Lamar Odom, I have to agree with Master P, people were not looking out for Lamar even though they knew he was going through some things.  It took the man to be near death before anyone actually checked on him-Lamar the person, Lamar the human being. Again, nobody gives a damn about Lamar Odom, like all other athletes and entertainers-they just want to exploit him and them. Next they will be fighting over who is going to control HIS money as he recovers. Sick, but ain’t no victims here, just volunteers.
