I know he gets paid pretty well by the Sixers these days for not doing much. Just greets season ticket holders, signs autographs, pictures, stuff like that.

And he had a friend that made him put his reebok money in a trust when he was younger because he knew otherwise he would blow all of it. Probably a rare case of a famous athlete having someone look out for their interests.
