Jerry Stackhouse: What Dean Smith taught me about money

Posted May 1, 2015
I asked Jerry Stackhouse, who played in the NBA from 1995 to 2013 and reportedly has a net worth of $60 million, about how he manages his finances. "Coach [Dean] Smith put me with a group, Franklin Street Partners...and I've been there ever since," he says of the Chapel Hill-based trustee. Stackhouse remembers Smith telling him "you need to slow down a little" after seeing his financial statements during his rookie year. (Yahoo! Finance)
