But, for the love of Isiah, don't take it upon yourself to stimulate Detroit's struggling economy. Coleman, who ended his career with the Pistons, lost a fortune attempting to create jobs and revitalize business opportunities in Motown during 2009 and 2010. Before labeling the Michigan native a martyr, it's important to note that Coleman's assets included two chinchilla coats (because it's cold in Detroit), 40 Rolex watches (bosses got to be on time), and a 1970 Chevy Nova (uh, what?).

that guy!

Also, I think the other thing that's VERY difficult to consider here is the extreme other universe that level of wealth lives in. Getting paid $500k every 2 weeks being surrounded by yes men and all that hubbub is hard for peeps like us to comprehend.
Another thing, have you ever lost everything you've earned like one of these guys? If so, there's someone less than you who can't understand how you can have all you have and lose it like you did.
