Shaquille O'Neal reveals Michael Jordan told him "don't ever help nobody up" after Shaq fouled him to prevent a dunk

"I can proudly say I only been dunked on three times in 20 years. Three times. Jordan, Derrick Coleman, and a dude named Tim Perry."

"Next time he came through, I had to lay him out. I laid him out, I went to help him up. He said, 'Don't ever help nobody up.'"

"We beat them, and the next year they came back and swept us, and he put his hand on my shoulder and said, 'Before you succeed, you must first learn to fail.'"

Tom Brady explains how modern defensive rules and helmet-to-helmet penalties unfairly put the responsibility on defenders to protect runners

"The difference is, there's a physical element to play where the quarterback can make a decision with the football and try to throw it to Roy, but Ian's really close. Now Ian's coming in with a lot of force to try to knock the ball off Roy."

"The problem is if Ian comes in too fast, and all of a sudden Roy drops his head 4 inches and Ian clips his helmet, because he's coming in to knock the ball off him, they're going to call a penalty on Ian and they're going to penalize you yards and they're going to fine you."

"So now Ian's got to come in really slow and under control. Now Roy gets to catch the ball with no ramifications."

Sophie Cunningham highlights the massive salary gap in basketball while comparing her stats to Luka Doncic's high usage rate

Drew compares Luka Doncic's first nine games to Sophie's Last Season.

Sophie Cunningham: "And I also think you're missing a big one. He also makes $50 million a year. I make $700,000 on my WNBA check."

Sophie Cunningham: "You should compare me more to Quentin Grimes. We average around eight to ten points, I think that's it. My three-point shooting is actually better than the both of them."

CJ McCollum reveals he lived in constant fear of going broke early in his career, choosing to save his entire NBA salary and live exclusively off his endorsement money.

"I had a fear and a paranoia that I was going to go broke. I always just feared like everybody goes broke, so I was just like I'm not going to spend money".

"Bank the money that you are getting from paychecks, the league paychecks and only spend the endorsement money".

"I bought like a $6,000 chain, like a big cross. But that was really it. I didn't. I was afraid".

CJ McCollum reveals he had to sneak into his high school gym to practice and was repeatedly kicked out, creating a strained relationship with the school until they eventually retired his jersey.

"It's a shame. I had to sneak into my own gym in high school. They would kick me out and stuff like that. I was like, I'm just trying to get better. I'm not breaking anything. I'm really just trying to work on my game."

"And I told them one day, when I'm in the NBA, you guys are going to want me to come back and do stuff for this school and I'm not going to do it."

"I've done some camps there, but since then I've kind of like I've kind of like stepped away for a little bit because it was disrespectful, but they've since retired my brother and I's jerseys and we've kind of like mended the relationship."

"But I shouldn't have had to do that as a kid. And it had a lot to do with my skin color, had a lot to do with a lot of things, but it just wasn't right."
