Danilo Gallinari had a team of financial advisors at Goldman Sachs Private Wealth Management, and has publicly spoken about investing early into one’s NBA career, especially since the average NBA career lasts just about five years.

“Only in those years playing are you going to make a huge amount of money,” he told Forbes. “There’s a great chance you won’t make that much money in any other job you get the rest of your life, so you have to use those years to invest, and use that money to make more money for the future when you aren’t getting that money anymore.”
