Kobe says blaming circumstance is an excuse, every person gets a different puzzle

“The key factor for me wasn’t whether or not I was ready. It was the fact that if I wasn’t ready, I was determined to figure out how to get ready. And ultimately, even if I was ready, I still needed to improve anyway.”

“The work’s not going to stop. It was just a matter of, do you want to come to the league and learn from the best? I’m doing the math in my head. I’m looking at Stockton, how many years is he playing? Drexler, how many years is he playing? MJ, how many years? Hakeem?”

“These are players that I studied growing up. The best way to learn from them is to have that jump off the film, jump off the page, and see it face-to-face. That is the greatest form of education that I could possibly receive.”

“Sounds like excuses to me. You’ve got to figure it out. If you really have an obsession to figure it out, you will figure it out.”

“Every puzzle is constructed differently. Everybody has a different puzzle, man. You’ve just got to figure out your own puzzle.”

Shaquille O’Neal says he and Kobe would’ve won 7 titles with the Lakers, but he refused to take $7 million to $10 million less per year and joined Miami

“Seven. The reason why I got traded, it wasn’t about me and Kobe beef. It’s they wanted me to take less money. Not doing that”

“I had money. I just should have been like, ‘All right, I raised [Kobe] enough. It’s your team now.’ I know what I’m going to do. I’m still going to do my 28 points and 10 rebounds. But I was like, ‘Nah, I want $150 million’”

“If I had it all over to do again, I probably would have had a meeting with the family. What y’all want to do. Want me to take less money, take a lesser role and stay here, or you still want me to be Shaq’”

“It’s that ego. And the ego still got me what I wanted. I still went to Miami, Pat took care of me, and I still won one. But I would have liked to have stayed there the rest of my career”

Were the 2000 Ravens the greatest defense EVER? 🤔

Shannon Sharpe says he knew they were different after just one practice.

Baltimore allowed only 165 points during the regular season, and 23 across four playoff games 🥶

Stephen A. Smith says he was warned by his estate planners to leave California every weekend because the government would TRACK his phone calls, then uses that data to collect MORE taxes.

He thought they were kidding. Then he got his tax returns. They weren’t.

What’s happening here is the “jock tax” in effect, which is California’s way of collecting more money from entertainers and athletes based on days worked or spent in the state.

And here’s the disturbing part.

California’s tax collectors pull cell phone records to show where you were when you took your calls so they can prove you were still hanging out in Cali so they can hit you with another taxable day.

Smith got sick of Gavin Newsom taxing him to death and moved his ass out of California. He now lives in Florida.

SMITH: “I’m sitting down with my estate planners and all of that. And they said, ‘Look, when the weekend arrives, it would be in your best interest to go to Vegas or to Utah or something.’ I said, ‘Why?’ And they said, ‘Well, if you stay in California, you know, IRS, they ping your phone. So, anytime you get a call or you’re on the phone, they know that you’re in the state. And that counts as a tax day.’

“And I said, ‘You got to be kidding me.’ And sure enough, when I saw my tax returns, it was absolutely correct.”

This jock tax is not small money, either.

Shaquille O’Neal found that out the hard way. His first year with the Lakers, he signed for $20,000,000.

By the time taxes were done with it, his check came in at $10,900,000 for the year.

Then the jockey tax took another $4,000,000.

And Shaq walked away with about $7 million out of the 20. Two-thirds of his paycheck went to taxes.

The biggest thing that separates the middle class from wealthy people…

I interviewed Myron Golden, an eight-figure entrepreneur and I asked him:

-The biggest thing that separates the middle class from wealthy people in today's world.

-The importance that faith in God has been for him throughout his career

-And his best advice for people in today’s world.

Cam Newton says Florida never gave him a National Championship ring after he left the program, so he told his Dad he was going to go get his own at Auburn

“That team that I was on that won the National Championship, I never got the National Championship ring. So then I told my father, ‘I’m gonna go get my own National Championship.’ And that was my drive to go do that.”

“I swear to you, at that time when I transferred, the coaches would always say, ‘It’s not a high success rate if you transfer to another school.’ That’s like a threatening thing. I looked at it as motivation.”

“When you’re being faced with certain [situations], it’s either gonna use you or you’re gonna use it. And I used that situation to say, ‘Man, these motherf***ers forgot about me.’”

“My whole life I’ve been an underdog. So these situations that I’m putting myself in, I ain’t new to this. I won big on certain fronts and I lost big on certain fronts too.”

“Going through that, I’m looking at it like, ‘Damn, I gotta go get my own.’ They thought when I transferred that that was gonna be the last time that they were gonna see or hear from Cam Newton.”

“Everything that their poster child that they was high-praising, I got everything he got and some. But I would always respect him because I took what he was doing. I seen how he worked. I seen how people respected him.”

“And I implemented that to JUCO Cam. I also took what I learned from the guys from JUCO, that hunger to say, ‘Man, I gotta get out this’, to Auburn Cam.”

“And then it was really creating a monster.”
