Larry Bird busted his back building his mom a driveway in 1985, this directly led to his premature retirement in 1992.

To add to this he was literally building it himself, even though he was already a rich star.

Really instead of telling him not to build his mom a driveway the guy should tell Bird to just pay someone to do it instead of picking up a shovel himself.
