What is Jamal Mashburn’s Net Worth?

Jamal Mashburn is an American retired professional basketball player who has a net worth of $100 million. Jamal developed a reputation as a high-scoring small forward while playing for groups like the Dallas Mavericks, Miami Heat, Charlotte Hornets, and New Orleans Hornets.

Jamal is affectionately referred to as “Monster Mash” by his supporters in the NBA. Throughout his 12-year playing career, he scored 19.1 points per game on average. Jamal made $75 million in compensation throughout the course of his career. After retirement, Jamal started a profession as an extremely successful entrepreneur.

Childhood

Jamal Mashburn was born on November 29th of 1972 in The Bronx, New York. Although he was a heavyweight boxer and a New York Police officer, Jamal’s father mostly lived separately from his mother, whom he divorced after ten years of marriage.

Mashburn first played basketball at Rucker Park, a short distance from his childhood home. Jamal soon made a name for himself as a gifted basketball player during his high school years.

He subsequently enrolled at the University of Kentucky, where he continued to establish himself with the Wildcats and rose to become the fourth-leading scorer in program history.

He was named to the All-American First Team in his junior season. The following year’s NCAA Tournament saw the Wildcats advance all the way to the Final Four. Following the triumph of this tournament, Mashburn graduated from college and declared himself available for the 1993 NBA Draft.

Career As A Basketballer

When Mashburn was chosen, the Dallas Mavericks had players like Jim Jackson and Derek Harper. With an average of 19.2 points during his debut season, Mashburn joined and improved the offense. His inclusion on the NBA All-Rookie Team was a result of this.

Since the squad as a whole only won 13 games that season, it is unfortunate that Jamal’s individual achievement was not mirrored by the team. The following season saw a marked improvement in the standings as the Mavericks won 36 games and Mashburn’s point average increased to 24.1 per contest.

According to that statistic, he finished sixth in the league. In one of the Chicago Bulls’ games that season, he also had 50 points.

Despite continuing to set numerous franchise records over the ensuing years, injuries started to have an impact on him by the 1995–1996 campaign, and the squad was unable to consistently qualify for the playoffs. Mashburn was finally traded to the Miami Heat as a result of this in 1997.

Jamal moved to Miami and met Alonzo Mourning, Tim Hardaway, and head coach Pat Riley. This had an instant good impact on the team’s offense. This time, Mashburn finally made it to the playoffs and advanced as far as the Conference Finals before falling to the Chicago Bulls.

Jamal’s performance, however, started to suffer as a result of new injury issues. Mashburn made 112 three-pointers in the 1999–2000 season as he recovered.

However, the Heat’s postseason victory over the Knicks was not enough, as Jama’s scoring production decreased in the final two games. Mashburn was exchanged once more; this time, he went to the Charlotte Hornets. In Charlotte, he played with Baron Davis for two seasons.

The fact that Jamal and the Hornets shocked the Heat in a shocking playoff victory was much better than his increase in scoring average to 20.1 points. Finally, the Milwaukee Bucks were able to stop them. The 2001–2002 season, however, saw the return of injury issues.

In terms of his entire career, Mashburn’s best season occurred in the final year. He appeared in 82 games, scoring 21.6 points on average, in the 2002–2003 season.  He was then chosen for his first and only All-Star game appearance as a result.

At Memphis that year, he scored 50 points, and then against Orlando, he scored 40 points. Mashburn missed some postseason games despite the Hornets (who had moved to New Orleans by this point) winning a total of 47 games and making the playoffs.

Despite the fact that Jamal played for two more seasons, it was obvious that his finest years were behind him. He was still plagued by injuries in 2004, which prevented him from taking part in the playoffs at all. Last but not least, he missed the entire 2004–2005 season due to a problem with his right knee in the hopes that it would ultimately get better with rest.

He subsequently made the relatively risky decision to have microfracture surgery on his knee. He was later traded to the 76ers, but he never played a minute of basketball there before quitting in 2006. Mashburn continued to be active in basketball by serving as an analyst for ESPN after his retirement.

Career As A Businessman

Mashburn started a successful business career even before he gave up playing basketball. His first business, Outback Steakhouse, which he started with money from his NBA winnings shortly after retiring, is now one of more than 90 that he owns and operates.

He currently owns 34 Outback Steakhouses. After that, he gradually began to build a commercial empire, eventually purchasing franchises like 37 Papa John’s, several Dunkin Donuts, and five different car dealerships. In Lexington, Kentucky, Mashburn also operates a real estate business.

The horse racing sector has also drawn him into a significant amount of involvement. He was a member of the Central Bank & Trust Company’s advisory board in Lexington from 2005 to 2008. In a time when athletes have lost their entire careers due to poor money management and unnecessary purchases, Mashburn has been hailed as an inspiration for other players.

In his own words, Jamal says he wants to buy an NBA team in the future. Mashburn established the Mashburn Scholarship Fund at the University of Kentucky with a $500,000 donation made before inking his first basketball contract. Jamal has over the years founded a number of additional charitable organizations.

Mashburn achieved this by committing himself to be a “lifelong learner,” and he also gathered a group of financial specialists, project managers, insurance experts, and marketing. While he was playing basketball, this group oversaw his expanding corporate empire. He became more involved in his numerous businesses after he retired from playing basketball.
