Draymond Green Makes Delusional Comments About The NBA And Money

Draymond Green is living in a fantasyland when it comes to the NBA and money.

The average NBA salary for this past season was a staggering $9.7 million. That's a lot of money. Even after taxes and agent fees, there's still millions of dollars left over.

It's life-changing money that can set up players for generations to come if they play a few seasons in the league at the average salary.

Just don't tell that to Draymond. He thinks the league isn't actually designed to make guys rich.

Draymond Green complains the NBA isn't set up to make players wealthy.

The Golden State Warriors forward seems to think being fined and paying taxes makes it hard for guys to retain their wealth.

"The fines to me don't make sense. You know, when you talk about, as hard as we work to accumulate wealth coming from situations most people never make it out. Then, you get fined the way we get fined. It's not actually not set up for us to be wealthy after we're done playing. This job is not set up…The way we're taxed. The way we're fined," Green recently said on "The Big Podcast" with Shaq. 

Yes, Draymond Green apparently believes the NBA isn't set up for players to be rich in retirement. Unhinged from reality.

I feel bad for Draymond. He must not have earned much money, and must be sweating about how he's going to afford food once his playing days are over. Oh, wait. What do we have here? He's earned more than $177.8 million in contract money alone!

If Draymond is worried about being rich in retirement after earning that kind of money, then he only has himself to blame.

Most Americans can't dream about making even a fraction of his career earnings. That's the kind of money that changes families forever, and he's on a podcast talking about how the NBA isn't set up to make sure guys stay wealthy.

To quote the great Lane Kiffin, "What f**king world do you live in?"

If Draymond is this concerned about the NBA and money, then he should quit and go work at Walmart. We'll see how he likes working a real job compared to making millions of dollars to play a sport. Without question one of the most bizarre and dumb comments I've ever heard from an athlete. Let me know at David.Hookstead@outkick.com if you agree.
