CJ McCollum says a $2,000,000 NBA salary gets chopped down to under $1,000,000 after taxes and fees, so early on he lived off a $12,000 energy drink deal instead “Let’s say I was making $2 million, after taxes, let’s call it $950K, $970K, Agency fees 4%, marketing 15%. Those checks were chopped down” “I was living off an energy drink deal, I had a $12,000 deal just to get some posts off, and I lived off of that”

Donovan Mitchell says Jay Wright told him he wouldn’t let him be a one-and-done, and that honesty cost Villanova a future 7-time All-Star “Villanova was one, but Jay Wright sat in my room, I give Jay Wright a lot of respect because he said, ‘You’re not leaving after one year, and you’re not leaving after two. We keep our guys three to four years.’” “And I didn’t think I was going to make the league, but I was like, ‘What if I’m good enough?’ He was like, ‘No.’ And I respect that, because a lot of coaches will wait till you get there and then try to hold you back.”

Jason Bateman says people who inherit fortunes are often the cheapest people he knows “As a kid, I knew I could generate money, so I was never that nervous about spending it. I felt I could replace it” “I’ve got some friends who are incredibly wealthy because their parents were incredibly wealthy; they inherited a bunch of money” “And they’re the tightest people I know. Because they didn’t make that money, so they feel every dollar going out as one they’re never going to get back”

Travis Kelce blew his first real NFL money and had nothing to show for it. What he couldn’t afford after is the part nobody expects “I spent all of my first check and regretted every second, didn’t have anything to show for it. All of it went to rent and sh*t I don’t even have anymore” “I didn’t even have a car. I stole Jason’s car. I was spending money on way dumber sh*t than that. At least a car would’ve gotten me to the facility on time”

Andre Iguodala says he shared an agent with Kobe, so he planted someone inside Kobe’s workouts to steal exactly what he was doing “I have the same agent as Kobe Bryant, so I was always stealing tips.

Draymond Green says the math everyone used on Steve Ballmer’s $30 million fine is wrong because $30 million spends the same for all of us “And I know everybody’s like, ‘Man, 30 million is a slap on the wrist for Steve Ballmer. He was worth $180 billion.’ In theory, that makes sense. Except it doesn’t.” “Because $30 million for you and $30 million for me and $30 million for he, it’s all the same $30 million. It spends the same exact way.” “Whether I spend it, you spend it, he spend it. $30 million is $30 million. And I don’t have a billion dollars, let alone $180 or $200 billion dollars, so I can’t really tell you from experience.” “But I can tell you that I don’t want to spend $50,000. I don’t want to give up $50,000. So it’s all relative, I suppose, except $30 million. I hate when somebody’s like, ‘Yo, it’s $50,000 to you, that ain’t nothing.’ Yes, it is. It’s $50,000. So $30 million is a steep fine.”

Vince Wilfork says he walked away from football because rookies started leaving the locker room without showering “That’s why I retired. Because I saw the rookies coming in, and I don’t like what they stood for. This is not how I came through and learned the ball and played football...” “But they was coming in, football wasn’t even on the radar. We would have guys leave the locker room, didn’t even shower. Drop their clothes and go.”

Sylvester Stallone says the night he was nominated for an Oscar is one of the saddest days of his life Sly: “A year before, I was destitute. I had nothing, I was broke. And it came out, and a miracle happened, and I’m with some of the best films in Hollywood. I’m like, God, I’m in the same category as Best Picture. These are great writers, great people. And they gave me a front-row seat.” “And I invited my mother. I told her I’m up for an Oscar, I was a bum a year ago. She goes, ‘All right, but you have to invite Vivian.’ I go, ‘Who’s Vivian?’ She goes, ‘My hairdresser.’ I go, ‘I don’t have a seat for your hairdresser. It’s you and me, front row.’ She goes, ‘If you don’t invite Vivian, I’m not coming.’ I go, ‘You haven’t seen Vivian in ten years, she lives in Washington DC.’ She says, ‘I want to see Vivian with me, and then I’ll go.’” “Well… she didn’t go. So I went alone.” “So when people go, ‘Ah, you must’ve loved the Oscars’, well not really.” Sistine: “In your entire acting career, I’m not even going to say Rocky, did they ever acknowledge how proud they were of you?” Sly: “No, not even once.”

Michael Irvin says a relative who bought him sneakers in eighth grade has lived rent-free in his house for 30 years, and still calls asking for new cabinets “The white fans, they got every dime of their money, they don’t worry about none of that. I got 16 brothers. I own seven homes in Florida right now, and I got seven relatives in them and they won’t leave.” “They ain’t paid rent in 30 years. And they’ll call me: ‘Michael, we need some new cabinets in the house.’ You’ve been standing there 30 years, ain’t paid no rent, what are you doing?” “Because our family feels, ‘Remember, I brought you some sneakers in the eighth grade, you should be able to get me this house.’ Like, that was sneakers.

He refused, fixed it in 3 days with no surgery, and played till 45 “After the season, I tell the doctor, My groin’s just really sore all the time. Every time I move, I can feel it just grab” “And the team doctor says, This is what we’re going to do. We’re going to do an adductor release, we’re going in there and cut the adductor tendon in your groin. We’re also going to cut the other side, so it never becomes a problem” “And I was like, Okay, that sounds not like what I want to do” “I called Alex when I left the office. I said, Alex, the doctor told me to do this adductor release. What do you think? He said, Absolutely not. Fly out to LA with me for 3 days and I’ll fix it” “So I fly out there and worked the adductors, lengthened and softened both muscles, my hips, all my glutes, basically relieved the tension on the tendon. And 3 days later, no more pain” “The doctor said there was a 99% chance he’d have to cut my adductor tendon at some point. And to this day, nothing”

He like, 'No. This where you need to be.'" "So he looked at me and he was like, 'They ain't gonna tell on us, man.' I ain't gonna lie, he took about $10,000. I'm scared.

Arnold Schwarzenegger says Sylvester Stallone spent years making more money than him, so he took a $30,000,000 role he didn’t even like just to finally beat him “I was getting a million dollars for Conan 2, this was 1983. Then I read, Sly just made a deal for $5 million for a movie. I said, what the hell?” “Eventually I got $10 million for Total Recall in ‘89. And Sly signed for $15 million. I’m like, Jesus Christ, I can’t catch up, there was always some number bigger than mine” “Eventually we both ended up at $20 million as our standard. Then I did Batman and Robin where I got $30 million, they really wanted me for the movie but I didn’t want to play the villain. They said, ‘$25 million is petty cash, what’s the matter with you guys?’” “So then, they call me back like a month later and they say we give you $30 million plus we give you points and back end and blah blah blah and I said, okay” “This was kind of my way to pay back for all the tortures over the years that he got more than I did”

I think this might be good enough for a callback, let me know what you think.’ She writes back, ‘I think it’s good enough to send the director.’ I go, ooh, okay. Hang on a second. If you do that, can you pull his last name?” “What if he gets it, is he going to have a little inkling that, oh, my last name helped me get in there? Don’t want that to happen. What if he doesn’t get it? Does he have an inkling like, well, could I have got that on my own? Maybe did my last name keep me out of it?” “So we pull his last name, send it to Paul. He looks at it, he goes, ‘That’s the kid.’ She goes, ‘Well, that’s actually Matthew’s son.’ He goes, ‘Even better.’”

Johnny Manziel says the happiest he's ever been was pissing in a cup for the league that owned him "I just remember smiling from ear to ear. I couldn't wait. This is probably the happiest I've ever been to go piss in a cup." "And when I handed him this cup back, he's like, 'Why are you so happy?' I'm like, 'Man, I can't tell you what a blessing this is, what a godsend this is, that I don't have to go back to Canada, because of what you're holding in your hand right there.' He's like, 'I can smell it.' Yeah, you probably can." "But whatever you do, handle with care and send it directly back. Make sure that gets to Randy Ambrosie, the CFL commissioner. Deliver that to him personally. You don't even need to send it to the lab, just take the lid off."

My dad, a truck driver, went into working in a warehouse. Mom’s a secretary. Like 1,500 bucks in a four-day period is not a feasible thing. Dad, I think, told me to actually go f*ck myself…” There was a big game happening in the basement of an Italian restaurant in the town that we grew up in. Bigger blinds, bigger antes, bigger pots. But I got a hundred bucks from one of my friends that has money.” “I went in there and I turned it into 1,400 bucks. I left at like 3:30, 4 a.m. And I met my dad when he was waking up, and he was like, ‘Where the f*ck have you been?’ And I gave him the money. Went down to the camp. Ended up winning the camp. Got a scholarship to West Virginia the next morning.” “If that doesn’t happen, do I go to West Virginia? Do I end up in the NFL? Probably not.” (via ALL THE SMOKE, ft. Pat McAfee)

Jalen Williams says he tried to keep up with NBA stars in LA and New York, but quickly learned he couldn't afford their lifestyle when his financial team had to step in "I got the blueprint. But as far as the rest, we joke around with it but it's like, I understand I can't afford it..." "I made a mistake and I tried to keep up in LA. And I'll never do that again. It was LA, New York, I tried to keep up, and that was ridiculous." "I got a call from my financial team like, "Hey, what are you doing?" It's not you. I thought I was good. I thought I was good. Just testing out my card, I guess."

JaVale McGee says they built a whole show around making him look stupid and kept all the money “I didn’t understand how strong the media was. I didn’t realize that people actually took it serious.” “I did one bad play, but I had 15 and six blocks, but y’all didn’t show none of that… I was just like, ‘Oh shit, people really think this. I’m really bad.’” “And then the NBA started getting behind it too.” “They had one episode where it was like top five of me… I can be the clown in the league. You got the WWE, the villain, the good guy. But both are getting paid.” “You’re gonna have to pay me clown money then. I can play that role, but you not about to pay me mediocre money, disrespect me and push my career down the hill.”

Seth Rogen says waiting 20 minutes for a table makes him doubt his own talent “And it’s like, if I go to a restaurant and I have to wait 20 minutes for a table, instead of them just seating me right away as they are the famous person next to me, is it because I’m not as talented or as good as I thought I was?” “If I’m trying to get into a party and they don’t just let me in and I have to wait in line, does that mean I’m not as good a writer as I thought I was?” “If I’m not getting a deal, if I’m not getting the best hotel room, and I go next door and someone has a nicer hotel room than me on the press tour, does that mean I am not as good an actor as I thought I was?” “And I think that is how a lot of famous people interpret how they’re treated. And they think that if they’re not getting the best treatment, they aren’t as skilled as they wish they were, as they thought they were.” “And that was a thing that I realized when I read that. It’s like, oh, it is tapping into some deep part of me that makes me worried I’m not as talented as I want to be, as I wish I was. And that’s it.”

Shaquille O'Neal says Dwight Howard spent years thinking he was hated when it was the opposite, and it began with Shaq calling one of Dwight's teammates to ask if he was soft "I had this conversation with Dwight. He said, 'Man, I thought you didn't like me.' I said, 'Dwight, you wasn't paying attention. I love you. You did stuff that I couldn't do.' I wanted to make you mad." "Because I contacted one of your teammates, Jamison. I was like, 'Is he soft?' He was like, 'No, he's not soft.' I was like, 'Okay. He's not soft. All right.'" I wanted to get him so mad and so enraged that he played at a high level. But he didn't understand that. So a lot of times when I'm criticizing you as a player, it must mean I like you."
