    101. Deonte Burton on Self-Talk, Asking for Help, and Why Most Players Leave Money on the Table

    Deonte Burton has played in the NBA, China, Korea, and now the Philippines — and after all of it, what stands out most isn't the accolades, it's the mindset. In this episode, we get into the mental side of the game: how DB learned to talk himself out of a bad half, why he used to show up timid to new teams despite looking confident from the outside, and what the "next play" mentality actually means in practice. We also get into asking for help — why most players are too proud to do it and how it stunted his own career — and financial literacy, including a rookie year story you won't forget. Real talk from a guy who's been around long enough to know what actually matters. What hit home for you? Drop it in the comments 👇 🎙️ @obi_emegano 🏀 @godzgift_30 Make sure to follow us.
