Upon being drafted into the NBA, basketball players are set to receive a good amount of dough — good enough for a very comfortable living. If they become a star, they may have enough money to last several lifetimes. Kyle Kuzma, an incoming second-year man for the Los Angeles Lakers, is no stranger to such realities and in a recent tweet, he gave out some advice for all incoming rookies.

Kuzma said that NBA newcomers should expect people to suddenly offer friendship. He noted that their circle of friends should be “tight.”

He added that this is the point in their lives when they'll realize who their real friends are:

Kuzma is probably talking from experience. After being selected last year, he probably received phone calls and text messages from people claiming to be his friend or worse, a close relative.

On the same light, Shaquille O'Neal, a former Laker and whose career earnings totaled some $292 million, also shared some advice via Graham Flanagan of Business Insider. His advice is not just for rookies, but for NBA players, and maybe even for everyone in the labor force as well:

I would simplify it for them. I would do what one of my friends did to me. I would take a $100 bill and rip it in half. And I'd say “$50, don't even look at it. Don't look at it.”

Now, this other $50 you can play with. Do whatever you want. But if you're smart, you'll rip this $50 up and you save that. And now this $25, do whatever you want. You want a house, 10,000 square feet? Do it. You want cars? Do it, but keep it right here.

So, I would say save 75%, and this 25%, do whatever you want to do with it. Take care of your family — boom, bam. House, apartment, car – but don't ever do more than this.
