He seems like a guy who's really committed to his family and he has said that the constant travel and being away from home is the hardest part of being an NBA player. He also said that he wouldn't consider a career in coaching because the time demands would be too much for his family life.

Not too many players who have made $91 million in the NBA turn to coaching in college.
Patrick Ewing, who made $125 million and is now the coach at Georgetown, and Juwan Howard, who made $151 million and is coaching Michigan, being exceptions.
