The money between the first pick and the 10th pick - that's a big difference! That's like a $10-million-dollar difference.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you come in as the second overall pick, the last thing you want is for guys to think you believe you've made it. Because that's the farthest thing from the truth.
Millions of guys play millions of basketball games every day of the week at the playground or the YMCA. But LeBron James gets $20 million a year because he can jam on all of those guys. We're always going to want to see LeBron and Kobe go at it.
Many players want to make as much money as they can and change teams for ten grand. How is that going to make much difference to their lives?
I knew I was gonna be the number one pick, but I didn't know.
Once you get into the NFL, it doesn't matter what draft pick you are, what round you are, if you're undrafted or not. It's football time again. The draft, all of that doesn't matter anymore.
After the first million, money isn't important.
You really don't put a value on your first win, it is priceless no matter where you are.
I play basketball for love and money, and they come in interchangeable order, depending on how things are going when you ask the question.
We are taking close to $10 a CD the way we are doing it, and I think that is a fair amount to split up between five guys. Each of us makes like two bucks a record.
In the NFL they talk about 'contracts,' but it's not really a contract, it's a one year agreement. If you have a 10 year contract, it means nothing. If you get cut in the NFL, you get nothing. People don't talk about that.
