I had no idea who this guy was and I've been watching the NBA for over 2 decades. Maybe I just don't remember.

Just watching 48 hours. Man, that 911 call as he was calling for help but could only muster a gasp or something as we could hear the gunshots. So eerie.

Seemed like a good guy. What a shame.

When money rolls in, tragedy soon follows.
Over the course of his NBA career, Lorenzen Wright earned an estimated $55.2 millionin salary. He died in 2010, shot to death, his body left to decompose in the woods southeast of Memphis.
But the battle over what remains of his estate continues. Sherra Robinson Wright, whose divorce from Wright was finalized only a few months before his death, received a $1 million life insurance settlement 14 months after his passing. And according to the Memphis Commercial Appeal, it took her only 10 months to spend $973,000 of that.
Spending, as documented by the Commercial Appeal, included:
• $32,000 for a Cadillac Escalade
• $26,000 for a Lexus
• $69,000 on furniture
• $11,750 for a New York trip
• $339,000 for purchase and improvement to a new home
• $7,100 for a pool deposit
• $5,000 for lawn equipment
• $34,000 on legal fees
At issue, other family members contend, is that the proceeds were designated to support the couple's six children.
The spending report, filed in September but only just now disclosed publicly, caused a judge to begin investigation of the living conditions of Wright's children. The judge also routed other money, the NBA's $184,000 in death benefits, to Lorenzen Wright's father Herb to benefit the children. Those assets are, at present, frozen.
However, Sherra Wright says the family remains financially sound, with $1.4 million in "assets on hand." Much of that is tied up in the new house and three Arkansas investment properties.

What a selfish, crazy stupid bitch. Cold blooded. The show said she also wanted to go after the 250,000 Lorenzen's father received or something like that.

I remember reading an article about him long time ago when NBA players would talk about their "crews". He had a 10 man crew who was allowed at his house any time. I wonder if 1 of them were banging his wife and they had a plan to murder him or something like that?

I remember he played for the hawks and had a crazy contract

Unless you are a legit billionaire, there is no need to buy multiple brand new luxury cars for yourself.

I buy a car. I drive the thing until it gives out. A car is only designed to get me from 1 place to another. Contrary to popular belief, cars aren't pussy magnets. No one gives a fuck that you drive an 80K car. Except your mechanic when he repairs it because he knows he can gauge you.

The GO speaks a lot of truth.

Just be glad we'll both be dead in about 40 years.... they'll have taken the world over by then and the whole world will be 3rd world.

NYC is awesome Vlad, politics aside of course. Vibrant, active, full of life, sights, activities and restaurants.

She's still a tad-bit wasteful however

Some girls / women love hot cars. If you're half a cool dude with a hot car you'll fill your scorecard up quick.
