You think he’ll drive to Maryland? Do you know what he makes? Maybe just mind your own business if you don’t card to help? Or feel free to call his mom and ask why he needs help.
Just because you start a GoFundMe page doesn't mean you don't have "gas money". Anyone can start a GoFundMe. That's why you see so many of them for every little thing now. Everyone needs money in these trying times of work stoppage. Shit's expensive. I started to buy a little bag of nothing yesterday until seeing it cost $5.00. I remember paying 89 cents for it. No thank you! My fiber optic cable bill takes monthly precedence. I want my MTV!
How much have you donated? I think in the interest of full disclosure we have a right to know since you are soliciting funds from us
you found a "little bag" for $5??? Must have been a very little bag
A go fund me? He's still a pro basketball player that probably makes twice of most on this board at least, he should have some savings and probably go G-league or exhibition team, or gulp, get a real job! No thanks, he should not need that level of help
I didn't say it was a little bag of Jamaican flower tops. It was more like oregano or some other should-be worthless/now inflated culinary herb like that-I can't remember the "nothingness" that it exactly was.
you have his mom's number I'll give her a call
Zeke never plays with her money! She traveled the world and never used a dime of her money.
He makes between $50K and $75K so not only not twice but not nearly as much. He just spent a ton to get out and left everything behind including his job.
He cannot be earning that little, no way, I'd have to guess 120-200K at minimum and he's been doing it for 10 years, he has to have some savings living there and stashing it away. Yeah, with getting out on the run, he might have lost a lot of belongings and that sucks, but he can't be destitute, and I can't believe he wouldn't be insured. He could come back to BTown and just about get a job anywhere or Athletes in Action ... something like that. Plus, I'm sure at least his contract over there is probably insured for an eventuality such as this, it's not like nobody saw this coming for years
Isn’t that the libtard way to go about life??
Yep. This is who we are. Don’t ever try to do anything nice here.
kurt, I bet you have had some skinnier dude's legs wrapped around your head.
don't let the idiots stop you then, if 1 person donates to you it's worth putting up with 1000 idiots
Thanks, I’ve already done what I can do. And fortunately lots of other places are pulling through.
No that is ridiculous, why should there be calls for money when he's a pro basketball player? If you're living in Ukraine making 50K a year, which I don't believe for a minute, should you maybe not reassess the success of your future in basketball anyway? That's not even fast-food manager salary, sounds scam-ish, I wonder who set it up and where it's going or if he even knows about it
Or you can do some research. His uncle set it up and he and his mother are aware of it. Do people here really think basketball players abroad get paid like the NBA? You’ve obviously paid no attention to the situation, but have very strong opinions. Again feel very free not to donate. Lol

You're a saint, a true saint.
Of course not, but if you have to go to Ukraine to make 50K a year, you've got bigger problems than losing your job in Ukraine. It doesn't sound legitimate. The solution is called a credit card, and believe me I've had to use mine plenty of times in life when I would have rather not to in order to pay for medical expenses, needed house repairs, etc., etc. This looks like a scam
If you are working construction in Eastern Europe you might be making the equivalent of $600 a month.
If it is that much hardship for him there, he'd be better off to lose his job and get back in the states. He's out now, so get a real job back home or play for AIA or the like, which I'm certain he could catch onto as a former Hoosier. My wife lost her job during the pandemic and our finances are not normal at the moment either, so I'm somewhat sympathetic that times might be tight for him for a while, but would I start a go fund me for us, no
