My Dunk League Story

- This is my truth on what happened between me and the other dunkers on Dunk League season 2 which also led to me not competing on Dunk League Season 3.
The Dunk Game is a cold world that few will understand. It’s always win or go home situation which makes competing that much more intense. The lesson I learned was to not over promise and under deliver. My intentions were good but circumstances changed. Although not completely my fault, I apologize to all the dunkers for the inconvenience.

Keep grinding Chris! You’re a great dunker and all round player. Some people are assuming crap, but this must have been tough to handle, just keep doin what you love, I’ll always be a subscriber and fan
Thank you bro
Actually all you guys agreed to split 50k 4 ways.
I hesitated and said nah. Let’s make it 32k for winner then 18k split 3 ways for the rest, at 6k each. Then all of us agreed to that.
If that’s what you believe then ok.
@@ChrisStaplesDunker …bro what lol 🤦♂️
I said my peace. Unfortunately it didn’t work out how I intended. We all were naive on knowing taxes and everyone expected me to just send out 18k of tax free money. Wouldn’t make sense for me. Blame whistle because I asked them to send everyone their cut and they didn’t. No hard feelings at this point. I’ve done my best to get guys other opportunities to make up for the unfortunate situation.
@Chris Staples I could well be missing something, but worst case scenario for the other guys you could have taken from the $50k (net of tax) exactly what you would have received net of tax if they'd paid you $32k. Then you divide the remainder equally between the other guys leaving them to square their own taxes. In that scenario you get what you would have received in any event, the other guys get less because of the initial error, and you'd likely even still have been within the gift tax allowance. Even if you weren't, you could just account for that in what you send to the other guys. That's just one of a number of ways to handle it, but happy to be told why I'm wrong if I am.
It's entirely up to you if, rather than the taxes being the main issue, you just chose to keep the money, but you can't then also complain about people not wanting to work with you in future.
@@GeeklyUpdate most people would never willingly share this story. I’m not complaining. As you see I have done my own events and have worked with some of the best talents in the world without these guys. But that’s great you know how taxes work in your field. Apparently for guys who are street dunkers that wasn’t the case during that time. If you watched the entire video I apologized. But some will still find a issue with it. Read my description
Got love for you Chris but if you agreed on splitting and didn't split you messed up.
But technically because JK didn't put his hand in the deal was off the table fr cuz you know if all parties don't agree there's no deal
Nice to see those kind of talk, hope you will continue with other dunkers/Dunk activists
man it sucked not seeing you in dunk camp man, i hope to see you in clips next year
Big Facts on Sir Isaac an I Feel The Same Bout Myself 💯 My Journey Is Straight Dunking
It's always weird to me that these types of niche groups always end up squabbling out into cliques, when you could just band together and be a stronger force. I suppose the direct competition in this situation makes it semi-inevitable, but it's still kinda sad to see.
If money is in picture ppl will be snakes and everything they could to get it.. so that's why it's so intense bc they want the money. So to see them join probably wont happen
Chris, I'm genuinely a fan, but I don't buy that 'too hard to calculate the tax' argument. I can think of several imperfect but workable solutions to that problem without even needing an accountant. Presumably the other guys would have been happy with an imperfect solution that still resulted in them receiving some of the prize money, rather than a solution which resulted in them receiving nothing.
Have you ever had 50k before
@@ChrisStaplesDunker nothing to do with the amount of money. You knew initially the potential full amount was 50k. The fact that you received it brought some complexity for sure… but it doesn’t make the “share action” impossible.
However, no judgement from my side. That’s your money, you made your choice.
@@ChrisStaplesDunker Has nothing to do about the money. You just gotta stick to your word next time. Dirty move on your end.
These are his true colors.
I remember that dunk league I think it was once a week or once day it was years ago it was good to watch I watched it when I was waiting for work and during work to I showed my buddy's that's must been over 5 years I think lol but. Your showing them how to do it Chris u had cash team to help u out Josh, Caleb and the whole gang u having fun and making money 💰 good video
It was 2007 I just looked it up I joined that dunk league u tube ch
The best compromise would have been taking the 18k minus the 35% you were paying for in extra taxes and splitting it 3 ways which would be about $3900 per person. Each person might’ve gotten taxed higher for their portion but it’s better than nothing at all.
You’re absolutely right. Lesson learned
@@ChrisStaplesDunker ? what lesson learned??? you can still make this right and disperse what they are owned.
We Needed This💯🐐🐐
Weak mindset. Own up to your mistakes, don't make excuses for them.
Chris can u teach me how to dunk? haha Recently fell in love with DUNKING aha
Chris I do love your dunks but you gotta be honest to your buddies when it comes to money. You guys could've sat down and talk about it at that time.
Kilganon was hurted during that time, this story is so weird
Welcome back OG
4:45 This is where you went wrong dude. Since Kilganon didn't put his hand in, there was no deal. You should have stood firm on that and not kept acting like there was. The fact you told all of them were still good through out the rounds and asked the organizers to split the check means you guys still had a deal. You should have sent them the money minus the highest you can be taxed in your state. Even if its 50% it would have been better than nothing. Respect for sharing this story, when you didn't have to. Still one of my favorite dunkers!
I love you Chris your the best dunker I have ever seen.
Chris is a politician
This is interesting no hands on means no deal
Naw bro I been following you for awhile, this is a huge disrespect to your cohort and a sloppy excuse man. I love your game but there are principles in life as a man. This type of stuff sticks man, I hope you can take the responsibility and not push it on being “taxed”. Any business owner gets taxed, it’s your job as a business man to figure out how it will work and not just completely disregard an agreement you had with your brothers. Much love but hope you can grow from this Fr.
Umm this is me taking ownership. You obviously didn’t read the description. And yes it was sloppy on everybody. None of had ever seen that amount of money at one time. And didn’t understand hope to split it. And since this event has happened we’ve all went about it differently. I’ve since split winnings with Jordan Southerland, grabo, Lipek and many more. But I do live in a city where the taxes are the highest in the country. So I take the biggest hit at the end of the day so it became a bigger headache when none of our tax guys. I didn’t need to share this story, I chose to share it. So instead of being negative about a event that happened 5 years ago, recognize that things do happen in this industry and it ain’t all pretty. And I’m NOT perfect. I’ve apologize and have since became more of an ambassador to help dunkers with opportunities.
@@ChrisStaplesDunker I respect ya Chris and your a good guy, keep working hard and grinding ✌️ must have been a lot to deal w.
Chris Staples long time no see
Coulda sent them 3 dudes 5k each & been done with it. Now nobody gone mess with you again. Unless you send it now & say my bad (you got it , do the right thing)
Oh yeaa
Yall saying he's this and that but honestly I would've done the same thing. First and most importantly its that companies fault for not splitting the check as he requested! Then imagine not knowing much about taxes like Chris and finding out in tax season much later that he's only keeping close to 30k of that. It wouldn't of even been worth splitting at that point. Plus it's not his job to calculate who gets what like some accountant with taxes involved. Yes they made an agreement but circumstances changed. Sure he should've been better understanding of taxes beforehand but he's saying he learned his lesson and tried to make it up in other ways. He's not a bad guy from what I see and stuck to his word on other agreements when the company didn't screw up on checks. At the end of the day you won Chris and if they wanna still be salty over the 3-4k they could've had years ago then fuck em bro you've made your mark in the dunk world more than all of them
Early
Chris I love u, Josh’s, Caleb, and Jenna’s channel, but posting this was a bad look for u man. U should have told them what you were doing because of the taxes, or u could have told them they will have to take a much smaller cut.
wholesome
Shady stuff from your side Chris :(
Its like hire few people for some work, have a deal, theyv done all work, and you say…. Oh, you now guys, i have problems with calculating taxes, sp you will receive nothing… lol… but i can reccommend you to another work, where you can earn something, so im a good guy, you know
It’s not about calculating taxes? Have to ever sent out $18,000 while getting taxed for 50k? Yeah I thought so. You wouldn’t understand. And don’t get it twisted. I beat EVERYBODY in the finals single handily. It’s not like I didn’t win fair and square
@@ChrisStaplesDunker you won, you’re a great dunker, and I respect that and I understand this was complicated
1 foot god was saying anything bro Chris don’t gotta talk abt dunking for 24 hours straight 😂😂😂 we all know he love dunking like he said that’s all he do
Wooow! Chris I like you but you stole man. You could of told them I have to give Yal less because of taxes.
first conment🎉
First baby
Turn to Jesus people he died for your sins. Repent of what the New testament describes as sin. Believe the gospel get baptized and obey the teachings of Jesus. The gospel and the teachings of Jesus are documented in Matthew Mark Luke and John. Jesus is the only way to be saved God bless you all. If you have faith in Jesus through your faith you will live life with him as your example.
Why post this and bring up all this bad stuff?
After watching this. I've came to the conclusion that Chris is just not a honest business man. You gotta stick to your word.
Think what you want. It was 5 years ago. And you don’t know what I’ve done since. It wasn’t pretty but I owned up to it.
@@ChrisStaplesDunker And I do respect you for owning up. But ya gotta admit it was dirty. And if people wanna blackball you for being dirty ya gotta accept it. You reap what you sow.
@@AndrewCantonTV But technically because JK didn't put his hand in the deal was off the table fr cuz you know if all parties don't agree there's no deal
@@mikeybrass8938 Nothing technical. He didn't stick to his word. Chris ain't really banking like that and he got the money and didn't wanna pay.
