Matt Barnes says he lost over $500,000 in NBA fines and only Kobe ever paid him back
“I probably lost over a half a million. My fines were never because people fucked with me. My fines were always taking up for a motherfucker”
“I used to take up for my team. I wasn't a bully. I wasn't the toughest guy. But if you fucked with one person, like I used to get whooped if my brother and sister got in a fight and I didn't fight with them”
“So these are my family. I took up for every star on our team, and the only motherfucker to pay my fine when I took up for him was Kobe”
“All these other rich motherfuckers, you know who you are. I still fuck with y'all. I got hit with 30, 40, $50,000 fines, and they say ‘Appreciate you MB’”
“Nah man, fuck that, pay that shit. You're making $30 million. Cold game bro”

Joe Haden says most people have no idea how quickly an NFL contract disappears once taxes and family expenses hit.
“I signed a five-year, $50 million contract.”
“I had about $26.6 million guaranteed.”
“My first year, I got a $12 million signing bonus.”
“After taxes, I only touched around $7 million.”
“The first thing I did was give my parents $3 million.”
“Then I bought them a $1 million house.”
“So right away, about $5 million was gone.”
“I bought my brothers cars.”
“I bought myself a penthouse.”
“I got a Range Rover Sport and a Bentley GT.”
“People hear $50 million and think you’ve got $50 million sitting in the bank.”
“That’s not how it works.”
“You look up after all that and realize you might only have around $1 million left.”
“You start understanding real quick that a $50 million contract is not actually $50 million.”
“That’s why so many guys go broke.”
Charles Barkley says a $300,000 Bentley car costs you way more than you think
"When I first got my money, I was an idi*t, I had like three or four cars. Dr. J asked me how many of those cars you got, you drive at the same time? I said, one. He said, well, why you got four?"
"This money's got to last you the rest of your life, don't waste all your money on cars, everybody know who you are, you pull up in a Kia, or a Mercedes-Benz or a Rolls-Royce, that's Charles Barkley"
"The problem isn't that you can't afford the car, it's that that $300,000 you spent on that Bentley, if you'd bought a cheaper car, you'd have had $200,000 more in the bank, and it would've been growing and growing"
"One year, three years, five years, twenty years… that $200,000 is gonna be worth a lot more"
De’Aaron Fox on the criticism he got after game 4:

Former NFL star Michael Vick says he cried for two weeks straight after going to prison
“It didn't get real til they slammed that door and they locked it”
“My first day in there, they kept coming to check on me to make sure I was alright. They were peeking in on me. I took the covers and just put them over my head because I felt like I was about to go crazy for a minute”
“Every time they came to that door to check on me, I thought it was somebody coming to say, ‘Alright, you learned your lesson. Somebody bailed you out’”
“After day four or five, when I realized that nobody was coming, that's when I had to start letting all the emotions out”
“I cried for two weeks straight. I really cried after I got sentenced because I went into my sentencing not expecting to get two years”
“You know what, this is about to be a chapter in my life that I'll never forget. Hopefully I can live to talk about it and laugh about it. It's not a serious matter”
“This is for the next generations to see as they watch this and be like ‘Don't play with your career. Don't play with what God gave you and the position He put you in. Never take that for granted”
