September 10th News Recently, former NBA player Matt Barnes participated in the podcast program BigBoy 's The Hangout, and talked about being punished many times in his NBA career.

"You know, I have to restrain myself, understand and learn from the lessons. I admit now that I was a bit too much at that time, and I was fined about $600,000 in total? It was almost the same. At that time, it was a huge sum of money. But the amount of fines has become very outrageous, because the current players' income is too high, so it is impossible to compare. At that time, I was younger, unlike now I have four children. If I had so many children at that time, I would say that money is really a good thing. I don't want to pay those fines, I will definitely be more restrained." Barnes said.
