In June 2012, Cambage signed with Zheijang Chouzhou basketball club in China, reportedly for a salary of $400,000 (Australian dollars). This made her one of the highest-paid female basketballers in the world.

*cue defensive people*

What?

She was on a ridiculous salary in a soft league and now cries about repayments. Also skipped WNBA seasons. Someone was on cruise mode and went on interest only instead of building up equity. Oops.

Time to sell the house and downsize or rent. Not cry to the media about it.

Who are you to question her desire to earn an income?

At the moment, all sides are in a holding pattern following Cambage's decision to ask for a trade from the Dallas Wings
...
Cambage has, so far, refused to consider any destination other than Los Angeles.

Cambage has made more than enough money, forget the stupid gender debate, how you manage your money is the issue. Go and watch the espn documentary "Broke".

Crying victim when you have earnt more in a contract then many will in 5 years, unlikely to receive a heap of sympathy

POOR stuff from Cambage. If you can't make ends meet on $400k then you are not managing your finances properly.

So Liz went to the Antoine Walker / Shawn Kemp school of Wealth Management then?

Not much sympathy from me but this quote may suggest she recognizes the world doesn't owe anyone a living: "I haven't made any money since September, which has been interesting. It's made me value the dollar a whole lot more. Everything's a learning lesson. The universe works in mysterious ways and she's taught me a big lesson."

And this suggests Basketball Australia is helping out: "When an athlete is competing in a FIBA tournament, the insurance is provided by FIBA ... and Basketball Australia are preparing a submission to FIBA to address Liz's situation."

Yet on her Instagram she spent most of last year at resorts in Bali and Thailand , must be hard to not pay a mortgage but spends so much on holidays ?

Everything's BIG about Liz, including her spending.

Does she have an entourage of groupies who need a bit of financial support too?

In the interview her quotes show how out of touch she is. She is quoted as "only" playing in Australia and USA with contracts of $100,000. So she earns more money in 2 seasons than most earn over a couple of years. Spend,Spend, Spend. This girl will end up with a government job when she is finished. Spend what you get and then take others money to spend even more.
She mentions how tough it is for her to play and push her body to the limits. (uh duh, she plays sport). Can someone please elaborate if Cambage has only ever played basketball? Has she ever had a real job? I'm glad life is now starting to teach her some lessons. Maybe she may even get a hint as to what an amateur player goes through, as they push their body to the limit, playing with injury, while working full-time, while having to pay for medical treatment and everything. She is a real champion of the people not. Why would she would not have her own income insurance? It's not like she wasn't able to afford fortnightly payments. Shed some tears for her everyone. Poor Liz.

Overspends getting them eyebrows done I reckon.

A Cambage article that's more on the positive side:

Basketball star Liz Cambage opens up about growing up in 'white-washed Australia'

Wow, I'm a middle aged white male, I get the feeling she really hates me!

Ode to Liz:-
I carry your heart.
I am never without it anywhere I go, you go.
No fate-you are mu fate. No world-you are my world.
It's the wonder that's keeping the stars apart.
I carry your heart with me. I carry it in my heart.

I don't suppose anybody wants to start a 'Fund Me' page to help the poor girl out?
What a Crock
