Barkley and Blackjack: No Longer Pals

Charles Barkley spoke about his ongoing drama with the gambling world yesterday, at the Fantasy Springs Hotel & Casino. He claims he can't gamble for the next four years.

That's just enough time to save up to lose another $400,000.

18. He is another proof that black people have equal opportunities in this country. Tell me again -- what do they do with affirmative action?

19. "He claims he can't gamble for the next four years."

Is that because he is black?

21. 12.
perkoff & robert;

for the record, he made less than $44 million
during his playing career. ( basketball-reference )

that was BEFORE L.A.M.T.;

lawyer, agents, managers and taxes.

so in theory, an entertainment
dollar is worth about .a net 40 cents.

so he at best netted $16 million
his entire playing 16 year career.

just guessing that he easily spent $1 million
a year ( $80 thou a month ) just in
lifestyle and providing for others,
he MUST work today to earn a living.

22. I used to work at a store in Phoenix back in the days when Charles played for the Suns, he credit cards would always be denied and one time I had to take his card away as per his credit card company. It was a problem back then to.
I should have saved the card.
