The NBA legend balled out big time with his first major check.

“I went to the Mercedes dealership. The guy says $150,000. I write him a check, give it to him. So now, in my head, a million minus $150,000, I’ve still got $850,000 left, right? So, I get home. My father says ‘That’s nice. Where’s mine at?’

Go buy the same car for my father. I’m good. I’ve got $700,000 left. And then came back home. My mother said, ‘I want the smaller version,’ which cost $100,000, so in my mind, I’ve got $600,000. So now, I’ve gotta go do what all the homeboys do — gotta buy rings and diamonds and earrings and this and that.”
