Johnny Manziel says he used private jets like taxis and spent $20,000-$30,000 a month on drugs, then found himself running low on money
“I think I started in LA. Then it’s taking private jets like a taxi and $20,000, $30,000 drug bills every month, and just really running and ripping.”
“From Vegas to LA and LA to Miami, New York, everywhere you thought you ever wanted to go, or every event you ever thought you ever wanted to do.”
“And it’s every day, seven days a week, full-blown party... I went on for that entire year. I speak about it a lot, but from February, March until January 1st.”
“I also got to a point where I was running pretty low on money and stuff.”
New York has been ranked the No. 1 city in the world. 🗽
The annual ranking compares 1,000 cities around the world based on economics, human capital, quality of life, environment and governance.

J.R. Smith says he went straight from the club to the Knicks’ gym and slept in front of his locker, but when a coach warned him he couldn’t keep it up, he went on to win Sixth Man of the Year
“When I was playing with the Knicks, I was insane. I would go out all night until 4:00am or 5:00am, be at the gym straight from the club, go to the sauna, steam, whatever then sleep in front of my locker, wake up at 7 in the morning and go work out. It was just like my routine.”
“One time Herb [Williams] sees me in the locker room sleeping… I wake up and he’s like, ‘Man, young fella, you can’t burn the candle both ends.’”
“I was just sitting there like, ‘Sh*t, watch me.’ And that’s the year I won Sixth Man of the Year. He’s like, ‘Hey young fella, you burnt the f*ck out that candle.’”
You've got to do what you've got to do in order to do what u want to do! It’s a Sacrifice. You're not supposed to like & enjoy the sacrifices but it's for reason. There will be a day u look back & understand why u had to go thru what u went thru to get to the prize. #COACHPRIME
