Vince Carter has made about $135 million dollars just from playing basketball.  That doesn’t count the sneaker deals and other endorsements he had from his younger days (before he kind of became a joke around the NBA).  So he’s got plenty of cash.  Which means he’s got a little to spare if he’s feeling a […]
