From entourages to insane investments to big-ticket luxury items, basketball pros love to spend their hard-earned cash. But while they're the highest-paid participants in American sports, they're also the most likely to go broke after retirement. These are the NBA players who wasted their millions. Shed no to tears for Michael Jordan and his $2.1 billion net worth. Before Kobe Bryant's "mamba mentality," The Jordan Rules governed the NBA. If God exists, he played shooting guard for the Chicago Bulls, according to Jordan rival and Celtics legend Larry Bird. But MJ allegedly had a hard time turning off the insatiably competitive GOAT vibes outside the lines, and reportedly developed a nasty gambling habit, losing over $1 million dollars to a single golfing partner, according to former golfing opponent Richard Esquinas in his memoir, Michael and Me: Our Gambling Addiction... My Cry for Help. In 1992, Jordan was forced to reveal his gambling habit on the witness stand when a $57,000 personal check ended up in the hands of a suspected drug dealer and small-time golf hustler named James "Slim" Bouler, according to the Chicago Tribune. Teammate Scottie Pippen even revealed how Jordan once gifted him a set of golf clubs his rookie year in 1987. He told the the off-camera producer of The Last Dance: "Yeah, he was trying to lure me in so he could take all my money."
