If I ever make a lot of money in the NBA, I'm going to have this massive tank, and it's going to have an alligator in it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I spent 50 years in the NBA. Can you imagine doing something that you love the most in the entire world and doing it for your entire life and, besides that, getting a pile of money for it? It's unbelievable. I'm the luckiest guy in the world. And I know it.
I'm just playing basketball. I just want to be a great player. That's it. That's all I'm thinking about. If the other stuff comes, it comes, but I'm just fortunate to play in the NBA Finals and just to play basketball, period.
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.
Well, I'm wrestling alligators.
Michael Jordan brings millions of dollars when he shows up in an arena. Since money is how we judge people, he's very valuable.
I always had a dream to someday own an NBA team.
I don't feel like basketball is the only way to make a living.
My construction business represents 10 or 20 times what I'll ever invest in football. But from the moment I bought the Chargers, I would become forever known as the owner of that NFL franchise.
Purchasing the Bobcats is the culmination of my post-playing career goal of becoming the majority owner of an NBA franchise.
There are 30 great jobs in the NBA, and I've got one of them.
