    $405,000 home? for an NBA star? that's not exactly living large. And if e's making that kind of dough, why have a mortgage on a $405,000 house?

    Given the salary level Spree was making during his playing days, you'd think he had $400,000 stuffed in a couch or glove compartment or something somewhere.

    First the yacht. Now the house. Couldn't put a choke hold on a couple of those NBA paychecks, Spree?

    Mike Tyson made $300,000,000 in his boxing career ... and pissed every red cent of it away.

    So he can deduct the mortgage interest on his income taxes?

    Tyson never saw a lot of that money.

    Not that Tyson was a model of financial responsibility (owning a couple of tigers couldn't have been cheap), but I have to agree with Moddy ... he got jobbed pretty badly by some of the unsavory "advisers" he had in his heyday.

    tyson lived far larger than any nba player could dream about, and he's admitted he pissed away the money that wasn't stolen from him. i'm sure spree's not broke, he just doesn't like paying bills and thinks he can get away with paying less on the dollar than he owes. it's not like he has to worry about credit ratings if he's still liquid.
