In this VladTV clip, former NBA player Eddy Curry opened up about being picked fourth overall in the 2001 NBA draft by the Chicago Bulls. Eddy explained that it was great that he went back home to Chicago, where his friends and family were able to come to watch his games, but he was more focused on making a name for himself.
Eddy went on to speak about getting a $14 million contract at 18, which he said didn’t even register at the time because he had an accountant who took care of the money. Eddy also spoke about being on a budget, buying an Escalade, and buying his mother a house.
