David Stern -- NBA Rookies Aren't Stupid With Their Money ... Anymore

Z STAFF

EXCLUSIVE

The days of NBA rookies blowing their entire fortunes on stupid stuff like ridiculous cars (Antoine Walker), insane jewelry (Antoine Walker) and overpriced suits (Antoine Walker) are over … so says ex-NBA commish David Stern who says rookies are so much smarter now when it comes to cash.

Stern — who ran the NBA for 30 years before handing over the reigns to Adam Silver back in February ’14 — was in NYC this weekend when he told us he was LOVING retirement.

But when we asked the 72-year-old if he had any financial advice for the upcoming rookies so they wouldn’t end up broke, his answer was very interesting … essentially saying players now are MUCH more educated about their finances than players back in the day.

The funny thing is … it’s due in part to guys like Antoine Walker, who blew more than $ 110 million … and is now dedicated to teaching players about how to avoid making the same mistakes he did. 

Must’ve been fun though …

Karrueche -- Chris Brown Needs to Man Up and Move On

Z STAFF

Chris Brown just tried to make nice with Karrueche, but she’s having none of of, blasting him for essentially stalking her in an effort that’s too little and way too late.

Karrueche just unloaded on Chris, saying, “Don’t be mad at me because our relationship is over due to your lack of loyalty.”

But then she fired the big guns, referring to the disaster last week when Chris ran into her at a club, saying, “You know what’s weak?? You forcing yourself into my car … my broken window … blowing up my phone… trying to shower me w gifts … Man the f*** up and change the bs in your life …”

Chris just Instagrammed as if he didn’t know what Karrueche said about him … “I’m eternally thankful for you being in a part of my life.  I’ve learned so much from you.  I wish u nothing but happiness and the best.”

And then there’s this from Chris … “All I was doing was trying to fight for the woman I love.”

Sometimes hope springs eternal, but it shouldn’t.

Downplaying it with humor, Pratt responded when asked about shooting sequels, and if he were signed on for it:

“I am. They have me for I think 38 movies or something.”

The entire interview is great, and we are SO happy for Chris, who also told EW what he enjoyed most about shooting the first flick last year:

It might not have been an actual moment. For me, my favorite part of the process was being in Hawaii with my family. Swimming, surfing and fishing, and doing runs and hikes all around there and then going to work in Hawaii. I want see if I can get a role on Hawaii Five-0 or something. If I could live there and work, I would.

Um, yeah! If we could live there and work, we would, too!!!
