I hope all the players take some time to really work on life outside of basketball . Using your resources and celebrity to your advantage . Take the meetings. Diversify and learn to explore other avenues of income while you’re still in the league. Bc when it’s over it’s over !

#Dodgers Justin Turner: "I think everyone was a little shocked today to hear about the NBA and, obviously, when something like that happens it could affect other leagues and their decisions. Hopefully, it doesn't affect our season."
