Kobe Bryant reveals exactly why so many athletes go broke a few years after retirement
"Once you retire you don't have that source of income coming in. Even if you save over a 15-year career, if your spending habits remain the same, eventually that well is going to run dry"
"For us athletes the retirement age is 32, 34, if you're lucky 37 like myself. What comes next?"
"The question needs to be, what is my passion. Not where I can create the most value or generate the most revenue, but what is my next passion"
"When you find that next passion, then everything else will make sense"
"But that's the hardest part for us"
"We have to constantly learn. Our mantra is value growth, because to grow you have to constantly learn, constantly move, constantly improve"
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson, on the 3-point selection: “We want to hunt threes in transition, but we also want those to be in rhythm and feel like they're our shot. There might have been some questionable ones. ... We can't work outside in. We've got to go more inside out.”
