Most of these basketball stars lost all their money after they stopped playing and the paychecks weren't coming in anymore. But Eddy Curry managed to top them all — he was millions in the hole while he was still in the NBA.

Bleacher Report says he lost some of it tragically, like when he was held up at gunpoint and robbed of $10,000 in cash and jewelry. Or the time he was sued by his personal driver for $5 million over $98,000 in unpaid wages plus alleged sexual harassment. But he only has himself to blame for losing most of his money.

Nine years into his playing career, after he had already earned $57 million, Curry was $2 million in debt and defaulted on a $585,000 loan. His logic on that one was interesting: He said he shouldn't have to pay it back because he already had too many expenses. It emerged those outgoings included $30,000 a month on "household expenses" (not including $1,000 for cable and satellite bills), giving $17,000 a month to his relatives, and, for some reason, $350,000 to another NBA player. According to Realtor.com, Curry also spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on jewelry.

Then there was his $6.2 million mansion; he bought it in 2006 and fell $220,000 behind on the mortgage by 2009. The house was foreclosed and auctioned off. This despite earning $70 million by the time he was done playing.
