Many including myself thought Jakarr leaving early was a mistake. Gladly wrong on that one, he has had a nice career for himself as has Moe.

I hope he is living small. A large % of former NBA players are broke 5 years after their career ends.

Very happy for Jakarr. He stuck with us after that prep school debacle.He always played with a smile on his face.
It seems like Jakarr needed time to mature. I don't think he had the type of coaching in college that he needed to be ready for the NBA at a relatively young age.

That's not really true. About half or more goes to income tax. If he bought a place I hope he has a small mortgage. A big mortgage requires a big salary after your playing days end. And then there is upkeep on the home, real estate taxes, etc. Buy a luxury car at close to 100K and it costs 200k in salary to buy.
So lets say he made 5 million in 5 years. 1 million a year becomes 500K. If you buy a house at 2 million after 2 years, and put down 500K, you have a 1.5 million mortgage, plus taxes plus upkeep. On and on.

I'm not sure if he owned or rented, but Draymond was in a relatively small place in Emeryville for most if not all of his first contract. I think most guys on rookie deals would immediately blow all their money on an overpriced place in San Francisco if they played for the Warriors, but he was in a nondescript city bordering Oakland and Berkeley. Aside from Pixar, which you can't get into anyway unless you have connections, the main attractions are Ikea, Target, Barnes & Noble, Trader Joe, Best Buy, and Home Depot. And there's a Halloween Spirit Store every autumn.

[quote="austour" post=402653]Hell, Mo who is making 6x what Jakarr is, still lives in my dumpy little neighborhood. At least until he moves to Miami. Have heard he may have been here throughout the crisis rather than in NY but have had no sightings (in my backyard).[/quote]
By dumpy, you mean $3.4mm dumpy?

I was being facetious. And he's a mile closer to the beach on the same street as I. But teardowns on 1/8 of an acre on my block start at $1.4m. Glad I bought long ago. His house has some nice curb appeal. Still waiting for an invite.

Ha! ok. Enjoy the weather there. It's chilly on the east coast.
