I'm conservative with my money. I'm the one who's got a family and I can't be playing basketball forever, so when I retire, I want to live on what I've made.

I'm never gonna try it, because you got to pay a lot for cocaine, and that's not the way I want to spend my money.

People got to realize that the owners who been paying me are a lot richer than I am. It's not like I was born rich; I had to play basketball to make this type of money.

When I retire, I wanna be able to just lay back. Only way to make it happen is to be investing my money, not spending it.

I enjoy money. You got to know how to enjoy it, though. A lot of people enjoy it the wrong way: They spend it all.

Reporters don't know me, because I don't talk to them; I just talk to the players.

I started playing ball when I was 13 and a half. Before that, I just wanted to play football and baseball but I kept growing so I figured it was time for basketball.
