“We talking about stupid basketball. It’s so funny… I’ve been in this thing for 36 years. I tell the guys when they start taking themselves too seriously like ‘Yo man. You do know you play basketball, right?”
“You’re not like a doctor or somebody who’s in the army or who’s a teacher, fireman and a policeman, the people who like got a real job. You dribble a stupid basketball. You make more money than god’.”
“When you start taking yourself too serious, you need to take a step back like ‘yeah, I’m really not that important. I just play basketball.”
