Larry Sanders: Why I Walked Away From the NBA
http://www.theplayerstribune.com/lar...ive-interview/
Everyone’s come up with their own theories about why I’ve been absent since leaving the Bucks. I knew people would speculate, but the crazy thing to me is that people are making it about the money. As a person who grew up with nothing, I know money is important. I’m incredibly grateful to have had the chance to play in the NBA. But at the same time, that’s not what fuels me. I’ve never chased money. It’s never been how I define success. Happiness isn’t behind a golden gate.
Everyone has to make a living. I’m no different from the person whose 9-to-5 isn’t their dream job. It’s a scary thing to walk away from security but I’m more afraid of living with the “what if.”
I love basketball, and if I get to a point where I feel I’m capable of playing basketball again, I will. I’ve had to make the difficult decision to follow my intuition, and allow myself the space and time to explore my true purpose in life.

Exactly. I dunno what everyone's problem is with him quitting. People are too stupid to understand that money isn't everything to everyone. Just because most of us here would like to get paid to play basketball for a living doesn't mean that someone who actually has the talent to so should. Well put
