Michael Porter Jr. says he considers his girlfriend going out to clubs or nightlife spots in any city to be almost cheating and would break up with her over it.
“Going out in any city, if it’s my girlfriend, is dang near cheating. That’s grounds for a breakup.”

Kenyon Martin says Bronny James wasn’t ready for the NBA, but defends LeBron using his influence to help his son, saying any parent would do the same
“With Bronny and LeBron, yes, nepotism is real. We all know it and we all would do it. If we had the opportunity to do it, 1000%. If any one of us are able to put our child in a position to succeed and have direct influence on it, we would. No doubt about it”
“Do I think Bronny at the time was ready for the NBA? No. Because of his lack of college experience that he had. It was interrupted because of the heart thing. Would loved to have seen him at USC another year to just get playing time. Get used to being back on the floor without all the pressures of what came with making that decision to being in the NBA, and your last name being James”
“And without all the pressures and scrutiny of everything that came with being the 55th pick in the NBA draft. Which no other 55th pick has those kind of expectations. We get it. His last name is James, but it's unfair to the kid. He's still a kid. But it's their family. It's their decision and wish them nothing but the best”

When Steph said this to Gil, it might have been my favorite Steph interview moment of all time. It’s extremely rare for him to make bold proclamations like "I'm the greatest," but my guess is he knew Gil's history of sneak dissing, taking subtle shots to discredit him, only to turn around later and act like a fan, playing both sides.
So when Gil put him on the spot, Steph didn't just claim the title of the greatest point guard of all time, he turned it right back on Gil, asking, "Who else is in the conversation? Just me and Magic?" Gil had no choice but to agree, despite looking visibly quiet and uncomfortable a second earlier when Steph answered. In my opinion, Steph only agreed to do the show as a favor to his Under Armour homie, Brandon Jennings.

Surprising that more of his teammates don't follow suit in regards to his offseason work
Steph Curry’s trainer explains why Curry uses an underwater treadmill to get in extra conditioning
“By going underwater, it provides less pressure on the joints so we can continue to do some fitness, get him moving, do more than we would on court without the pounding that is required for an athlete who's been going for 17 years. Typically, if we go rep by rep, every rep, he'll likely have a higher heart rate or a similar peak, but the recovery window, it tends to become less of a recovery every rep. If his rest period is active, which it is, or if it's challenging”
“That recovery period, if you see a really good drop in heart rate, that shows an indication that he's recovered or aerobic fitness. But if he's passively resting or he has a longer rest period, that helps. But this is a 1 to 1 ratio. And he's still running in between. So we're likely going to get a similar spike, 150, 160, maybe 65 near the end. But his heart rate before he starts his next rep is probably going to be a little bit higher because he's still trying to recover from the workload”

Alex Caruso says he signed a $100K Manscaped deal right after the 2020 Lakers title that included shaving his head.
“They were like we’ll give you a bunch of money and do this commercial and shave your head. I was like, all right, sure. I’m about to do this anyway. I might as well get some fun money.”

Patrick Bet-David explains why Elon Musk could become more powerful than any world leader within the next five years.
From Starlink and telecommunications to AI, transportation, and potentially smartphones, Bet-David argues that Elon is building a business ecosystem unlike anything we’ve seen before.
“Countries don’t need Apple. Countries don’t need Amazon. Countries and world leaders need Elon.”
He believes we’re witnessing the rise of a man who could wield influence without ever holding political office.

This clip was 4 years ago.. parents renovated and added a bed.. but still challenge myself in other ways 🙏🏽 God bless!
Jamal Murray says he sleeps on an air mattress when he goes back home to stay humble despite signing $378,000,000 in NBA contracts
“I don’t really look at money like that. I’m a pretty humble guy. When I go home, I actually sleep on an air mattress to keep my mental, to know where I’m coming from”
“I got a little brother that’s watching me as well. I don’t want him to see that you can get whatever you want, but you don’t take it because of why”
“There’s certain things you have to learn and go through, and I’m trying to teach him at the same time, teach myself, that money isn’t everything. If I didn’t have any of it, I’d still be the same person I am today”

Puka Nacua says he eats McDonald’s during the NFL season and says there’s no question it’s better than In-N-Out
“I’m okay with eating McDonald’s every day. Cooper Kupp tried to get me off the McDonald’s. I’m like, ‘Yo, I just ate three meals for under $55’”
Q: “You eat McDonald’s during the season?”
Puka: “Yeah”
Q: “What’s your order?”
Puka: “It depends. I normally get a 10-piece Chicken McNuggets meal with sweet-and-sour sauce and a Hi-C. But if not, I’ll get a Double Quarter Pounder with no pickles, no onions, and ask for sweet-and-sour sauce on the side”
Q: “In-N-Out or McDonald’s. What are you choosing?”
Puka: “McDonald’s. That’s not even a question. I leave with a big old smile on my face. I’m loving it, bro. I be tipping the ladies there. They know me. I be coming through in the mornings”

Draymond stands by his comments that Josh Hart should've taken a pay cut instead of Jalen Brunson
"I stand by that... you see reports that Karl-Anthony Towns is gonna have to take less if he wanna stay with the Knicks, they can largely throw that around because Jalen Brunson took a pay cut... Mikal Bridges left 20 million on the table because Jalen Brunson took a pay cut... Wemby goes and take less, easier to sell to that guy to take less when the guy he lost to in the finals took less."

Duds is one my all time favorite people and someone that any organization should be thankful to have around. great thinker
Jared Dudley says he told Jason Kidd to start Giannis Antetokounmpo over him after seeing his potential that helped turn around the Milwaukee Bucks
“I’m starting over Giannis. We had the third-best turnaround for most wins in a year. We go from 15 wins to 38 wins. It’s the third-biggest gap of wins exceeding that year. We’re the seventh seed, one of the youngest teams in the NBA”
“I’m starting over Giannis probably the first 10 games, 12 games. At this time, I’m seeing, I’m starting to slow down a little bit. Giannis is a kid where we need to get where we’re trying to go, we need him. I go into the office to J-Kidd, ‘Listen, you need to start Giannis’”
“They start Giannis. I go to the bench, sixth, seventh, eighth man, depending on who comes out of the game. We take off. And then now I see Draymond being a small-ball four, and I’m saying, ‘Hold on.’ I go to J-Kidd, ‘Hey, can I play the four?’”
“I’m a little bit too slow to play the three, and now at the four, I’m fast and athletic compared to these fours because they’re not used to the pick-and-pops. Now I’m smarter, second side, doing pick-and-rolls”
“I didn’t know he was going to be this good. I knew he had All-Star potential. When he called out Carmelo... about wanting to guard him, and he goes at him. He holds his own. Did I think he was going to be this MVP candidate? No, I didn’t. Did I think he was going to be an All-Star? For sure”

We got to normalize grown men not counting other peoples pockets
Draymond Green says Jalen Brunson shouldn't have taken a $100,000,000 discount with the Knicks
“It's the New York Knicks, bro. They can afford it. You ain't got to take no discount for them to get paid. My situation is different because Steph making $270 million, Klay making $180 million. All right, something got to give. Cool. I can take a less”
“He the top guy. Let Josh Hart or somebody else take less. They in my role. Guess what, Steph Curry ain't take a penny less. And neither did Klay Thompson ain't take a penny less. I don't know what he doing. That's $100 million”

Let’s be real…the CBA makes sure owners, PE funds and outside investors can eat off NBA team equity, but the players driving the ratings and the merch are treated like short‑term contractors. And funny thing is we should be like independent contractors. Since we are w-2 we can’t even write off certain things like our agent fees. BS
Jaylen Brown says players should be able to own equity in teams because they help increase the value of NBA franchises
“Players should be able to invest alongside ownership groups and business opportunities. I don't understand why that’s ever been a thing. It's like you’re an athlete and they make it seem like they can control how much wealth or growth that you could actually accumulate. I think that's wrong”
“I also think that any other major corporation, if you work for Apple, Nike or anywhere, if you're a CEO, if you're someone who has been on a board for a large amount of time, you get equity in a company at some point. You are part of it”
“I think athletes should be looked at in the same way. You played for the Celtics for 20 years, you should get a piece of equity because you helped accumulate the growth. That's the part that gets lost in translation. The sweat equity you put in. You get compensated for doing your job, but you don't get compensated for the growth. At major corporations and companies you do, or at least some of the big ones”

Jake Paul says he wants to play slot receiver in the NFL after boxing, starting at Stanford
“I do have NFL aspirations after boxing. I want to play slot receiver, and so I think to get that experience, college first would be good so I could walk onto the Stanford team”
“I'm being serious. I was originally thinking I'll just go straight to the Cleveland Browns or Dallas Cowboys, but they're probably going to want to see me play first”
“So, it might be better if I start off in college and have a little bit of an advantage over the younger, not as big kids before going into the NFL”

Make NFTs great again.
Kaleo says the $2 billion NFT market is massively undervalued
"The NFT trenches are slowly waking up again. We are at the highest level of volume in the NFT market in more than 2 years"
"All of the original thesis people had for NFTs back in the day I think are still fully relevant if not more because the market has matured"
"I believe everybody is sleeping on it. The entire market cap is a couple billion dollars, which is really low"
"When you look at the collectibles market worldwide, you're talking about somewhere in the neighborhood of $500 billion to $1 trillion dollars"
"I'm just saying there’s a lot of growth that I believe will be had"
