    What Gil doesn’t take into consideration is most kids interested in NIL deals don’t have wealthy ex-nba dads. They’re jumping at the opportunity

      Has nothing to do with money. Let’s be real here, most of these kids are coming from homes with single mothers. Women are easier to finesse by telling them what they want to hear or dreams of materialism. It’s a lot harder to finesse men who are principled protective of their kids. Gil said it himself that they go to the Mom.

Nowadays it’s not like when Gil was coming up and Most of the Kids is homeless a lot of these parents made a way for the kids and some of the Kids are blowing their NIL money and not listening to the parents that got them this far. I talked to a kid yesterday from a small school in Texas division 2 I believe and he’s said each one of his classmates are getting 40k a month starting just to sign he said he bought a BMW with his first check and the rest he blows at strip clubs in Texas 🤯 he was asking me for a good strip club because the one across from the hotel got boring they threw 60k last night at the club.

      He’s saying don’t let them talk to agents prematurely. They’re dangling thousands of dollars , cars , and all types of perks , when the child just wants to be an nba player .

    The bigger picture is that most kids don't really understand finance, neither do parents, most don't have experience in handling this kind of situation. If anything wat we should be asking is why high school education does not have courses in business finance as a core. Besides student athletes, they are other kids that are making money as being youtubers, twitch, being a influencer, podcast, even entrepreneur.

    @donnieflowers8276 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I view this as such. Let’s say we have a great basketball player. Said player is top 50 in the high school ranks. player get NIL deal. Player doesn’t pan out in college, was only 6’0” and couldn’t dunk. Average playmaker. Above average shooter. Great defender.
    Not in mock drafts for entire college career. Graduates enters draft. Not drafted.
    Player had dreams and goals of nba and fell short. But still got a taste of nba money - a kickstart to life post college. What’s the problem here?
    Without NIL players would overly contribute to their school’s financial gain.
    And left with nothing to show for it.

    Gil and Kenyon talking from their perspective as former rich NBA players. A lot of these people are single parents that are enticed into taking a deal so their child can have that money to do and have the things and access your kids have. At the end of the day, it’s the kids decision who should get some of their money if any at all.

    This is a terrible conversation to have with guys who don't understand how college football works. Johnny Manzell said it on Shannon's show. Before NIL deals, every school had a bagman. If you were in the top 25 you were getting offered bags from different schools just to go there. There's nothing wrong with NIL deals

    I get what Gil is saying but his kids are part of the top 1% of the top 1% in college athletics. What NIL deal can a company give his son that is going to surpass the upbringing he has been able to provide as a former $100M+ NBA player.

    That shows the lack of morals in this american society, but i somewhat disagree with them about the "pimping the kids out" some these family need the money bad and of course the kid is going to want to provide for his family. It shows how some people put money over family, if thats the case its wrong, but to provide for your family because thats what need to be done should be the only option.

If you locked in to be a pro, youre looking at the long term money and not the money that may last a short period of time

    I see both sides. If parents doing what they say they're doing then thats wrong. Taking ownership of anybody business that's not yours is crazy. They said something about a lifetime likeness or contract? NIL aint worth it of thats the case. Mfs can wait 1-4 years
    On the other side thats why we wanted to play ball. We see it as a way out. The house and cars parents gonna want, they were going to get once whoever got in the nba. It just can happen sooner than later. Plus everybody aint goin to the league or having a long career. This might be a lotta guys only opportunity at a big pay day
