I’ve always wondered how professional athletes blow through money at an alarming pace. Sure, you can point toward the big ticket items that litter their castles, and later are thrown up for auction to help pay off creditors. However, it’s the small things that usually get them. For example, Allen Iverson purchased new clothes in each city he traveled to, rather than pack a suit case.
America has hit MegaMillions Mania. The Half billion dollar jackpot is the largest in this nation’s history and when drawn tonight will undoubtedly make someone very happy. Chris Singleton of the Washington Wizards (and a dirty stinkin’ Nole) is not immune.
I’m about to drop 10000 on the lottery and cross my fingers #halfwaytoabillionaireifiwin

The Wizards have been slapped around by the Philadelphia 76ers this season, as they’ve been beat by 31, 13 and then 20 points so far.
Well, last night, the Wizards decided that enough was enough and that it was time to punch them back.
After a slow start to the game in the first quarter, the Wizards saw Trevor Booker go to the locker room in some visible pain, and one might believe...

As you know by now, unless you tuned out sometime in 2008, the Wizards have the second-worst record in the NBA. This is because they are the dregs, you see.
But with great losing comes great draft positioning, which hasn’t meant a whole hell of a lot for the Wiz these past few years. In 2009, it meant trading the No. 5/Ricky Rubio pick for Randy Foye and Mike Miller. In ‘10...

If there was one faction of society that wouldn’t be captivated by the $540 million Mega Millions lottery jackpot, you would figure it would be the elite earners, such as professional athletes. But even some of those millionaires are getting caught up in the lottery ticket craze.
SB Nation’s Andrew Sharp points out that a few athletes tweeted about buying thousands of dollars...
