Discover how mismanagement and lavish lifestyles led 9 NBA players from immense wealth to financial ruin despite huge earnings.
1. A team built on cohesion and strategy

Uhuru Kenyatta's favorite team Boston Celtics triumphs over Indiana Pacers to reach NBA finals
The Boston Celtics rallied late to defeat the Indiana Pacers, securing their place in the NBA finals for the second time in three years.
His defensive prowess was particularly notable against Dallas' key player, Luka Doncic, significantly limiting Doncic's impact as the series progressed.
Offensively Brown was complemented by Tatum whose nearly recording a triple-double in the closing game underscored his vital role.
3. Al Horford's veteran impact
At the age of 38, Al Horford's contribution to the Celtics was far from nominal.

His consistent performance and dedication to the game greatly influenced the team's dynamics and were vital in clinching the championship.
