Question by CANT STOP THE HEAT™?IN WADE WE TRUST?: Is Michael Jordans gambling addiction overrated?
I was reading some bios on his so called “gambling addiction”. Ive always known Jordan was called a gambling addict but I never went into it untill now.

It said in his worst stages of gambling addiction he spent nearly 57,000 a year in gambling!!!

My question is, how the f is 57,000 a year, when you make 30 million a year and are worth 100 + mil considered an addict? Thats like 30 minutes salary hes burning once a year….

I think Iverson’s was worse

Answer by XLR8
Man go look at Antoine Walker, he gambled himself out of millionaire status and was close to working a regular 9 to 5 job.

The thing that worries me about MJ is the example he set for his kids and they are now gambling away his money, they went on Twitter or facebook bragging about how much money they pissed away. It was like $ 30,000.
