McGrady: I knew nothing about finances back then. I would ask Kobe for advice and rely on him very much.

Recently, former NBA star Tracy McGrady talked about Kobe Bryant's help to himself in a podcast.

McGrady said: "I never thought I could manage finances well. Never. I was trying my best to control it because I - I didn't have that knowledge. I was young and didn't know anything. I was completely fumbled forward, just trying and making mistakes. I could only learn while doing it. But fortunately there was Kobe at that time, right, I could pick up the phone and call him, right, because he was a person I relied on at that time. He was a very smart person, right? And he was very down-to-earth. He came from a family of two parents. So his growth circle The environment and my environment are completely different. I need to communicate with him, I need to learn from him, he has that background in growing up, has that wisdom, and can help me control this world I don’t know, right? So the good thing is, you know, we are from the same agency. We both signed up for Adidas at that time. But I can pick up the phone and call my brother at any time and say to him, ‘Hey, brother, I can’t handle this. What should I do?’ And he is always very generous in passing on my experience to me. And, this has been the case for our entire career.”
