Lance Stephenson says his only NBA career regret is losing his hunger after signing a 3-year $27,000,000 contract with the Hornets
โThe year that I left the Pacers to go to the Hornets, once I got paid, I didnโt keep that hunger. I kind of slowed. I got a car, I got houses, I was hyped. All my friends, Iโm on top of the... I go to my hood, Iโm doing music videos. I felt like at that moment right there, I should have just started going harder and harder. And thatโs the only part of my career I feel like, damn, I should have changed that right there. I got paid and was outside. I was in the gym, but I was outside and in the gym at the same timeโ
โWhen we were growing up, the goal was to be the best player you could be, be the best player on the court, go at anybody. You want to be memorable. And I just say, โYo, just stay in the gym. When you get paid, stay in the gym because thereโs more money there. Thereโs more fun. You can have fun later.โ Right now, I wish I went crazy at that time so I could have more fun right nowโ
