so not baller

a thread for when ballers lose their way, succumbing to conduct unbecoming of a baller

patron saint of unballerly behavior, matt bonner:

Bonner bought his car, a white Pontiac Grand Prix, in New Hampshire to avoid paying sales tax.[8] He chose it because it had good leg room and decent gas mileage.

There is an Italian-made Ferrari in the players’ parking lot, but it does not belong to Jennings. It is guard Michael Redd’s car. Jennings opted for a Ford Edge, with its sticker price of $26,000. “I want to save my money,” he explained.

After signing with Sicilia Messina of the Italian league based in Messina, Sicily, 2003 proved to be a harrowing year for Bonner. Bonner survived a 104.5 degree Fahrenheit fever brought on by a bout of salmonella (treated by the team dentist) most likely caused by a lack of running hot water in his apartment. Sicilia had filed for bankruptcy in the middle of the season and had stopped paying its players. Bonner's heat and electricity were shut off and he was given two eviction notices.

hahahha motherfucker ain't even got a computer in that shit!

"Stories about former Bulls star Scottie Pippen being a cheapskate are legendary. There's a laundry list of Chicago restaurant servers who can attest to Pippen's notorious low tipping habits. Turns out nothing has changed. The New York Post reports the ex-NBA champ even tried to bargain with a bunch of strippers the other night at the Penthouse Executive Club, a "gentleman's club." But according to the paper's source, the women, "who are not impressed by celebrity, but by financial liquidity -- moved on to the next suite, which was occupied by a very willing group of young stockbrokers with zero negotiating skills." Chicago Sun-Times

"Just the other day I was at Subway and wanted to double the chicken in my sub," he recalls. "But it was $2 more. I was like, What a rip-off!"

docfunk, if u can put this quote on a picture of matt bonner dunking, u will get into the naismith, i swear 2 god

i keep reading "Just the other day I was at Subway and wanted to double the chicken in my sub" as part of a verse, the 2nd part rapped in double-time

in toronto bonner used to walk to the stadium. i remember a hilarious sam mitchell interview busting on him for refusing a ride

An NBA player might ride a bike at work, hopping on a stationary one if he can't practice. Suns forward and downtown resident Louis Amundson rides a bicycle to work.

His silver beach cruiser with the bell is like his team. If he is aboard and pedaling, the vehicle - whether it is a bike or the team - is always moving.

so not baller it almost wraps back around to baller status

Regarding his own personality, Duncan compares himself to Will Hunting of the movie Good Will Hunting, which centers around the genial and antagonistic character of Will Hunting, portrayed by Matt Damon. He stated: "I'm just a taller, slightly less hyperactive version of the Damon character in the movie.

Duncan also loves Renaissance fairs and the fantasy role playing game Dungeons & Dragons.[95]

from 10 Questions for Lou Amundson:

1. What’s in your iPod?

Robin Thicke

5. What is your all-time favorite movie?

Napoleon Dynamite

Tolliver’s gifts to himself at his career milestones have been nice, but far from over the top. The first gift for his D-League contract was new rims for his car, which at the time was a Chevy Tahoe. Another time he said he gifted himself a new stereo system.

But what about the diamond earrings?

“These were a gift from Claire’s,” he said.

Claire’s? As in the costume jewelry place at the mall?

“I will never in my lifetime buy real earrings, because I lose them so much,” he explained. “I know the hard work it takes to make a dollar. Real earrings this size might cost $2,000, and if I lost $2,000 I would be sick to my stomach.”

Ahem:

Seriously, whaddup, Warriors??

jose calderon, pig farmer

The Raptors' Media Guide says you own a pig farm. Is that true?

Well, kind of. It's not like I have it all by myself, but yeah, we sell the ham there in Spain and I've tried to get it here to Canada, too.

Ah, okay. We thought you had a bunch of pigs for pets or something.

No, no. It's just for my business, that's it. They're really nice animals sometimes, but it's not like I have pigs because I like them.

Chris Paul was on Wait Wait don't tell me!

"Always a fan of the sandwich, Matt Bonner was eating lunch when his phone kept buzzing with calls from San Antonio yesterday. By mid-afternoon, the Concord native agreed to terms with the Spurs on a four-year contract extension through the 2013-2014 season."

patron saint comes through again!!!

So after signing the largest contract of his life Tuesday, the longtime Pontiac Grand Prix driver and delicatessen aficionado embarked on a new age of outlandish spending. “When I splurge,” Bonner said, “I'm going to order double meat on my sandwich.”

i can't believe this motherfucker sometimes!!!

is bon-bon wearing a david bowie low shirt??

andrew bogut is serially complaining abt tipping in america on twitter smh

He should be on ILX then.

im sayin

During his brief tenure in Houston, Scottie Pippen was affectionately known as No-Tippin Pippen at the local Italian eatery my family frequented. The rhyme made itself, it's like he was destined to be the least stuntin dude on whatever team he was on.

!!!

How can anyone be "affectionately" known as that?

yeah scottie pippen is a famous cheapskate. dude came from circumstances; what can u say?

"i dont know anything about this harry potter" --barbosa

def a "wanna feel old?" thing for me that there are nba stars now who grew up on Harry Potter.

He is happy to sponsor Wingstop, which sends him coupons for free wings, so he can feed his Mango Habanero addiction. This winter, after his $94 million contract kicked in, he panicked when he lost his coupons. Wingstop generously replenished his supply.

knew this revive was about that kawhi story. why do the spurs attract such cheapskates? *fumbles through couch cushion to look for money for a new pair of shoes*

from si's boris profile:

This is a tradition among Diaw and his San Antonio teammates. On the road they venture to find the city's best coffee shops. "Whether it's a 20-minute drive or just around the corner," guard Patty Mills says, "we keep a record of the cool ones."

coffee v halal

pretty baller if you're into fishing

seems pretty baller

Kobe Bryant says he’d rather be known for venture investing than basketball

Tom DiChristopher,CNBC 8 hours ago

yeah i was thinking of starting a "so baller" thread to post that in

xp

this seems like a pretty dangerous idea bc kobe won't stop until he's broke or the best at it

kobe needs to start hanging with Lacob if he wants to become a trVe BAB

Kobe should team up with peter thiel imo, they'd probably get each other

what could be more baller than fishing for grouper, my bad

Kobe should sue TMZ through an intermediary, good call Clay.

old news but...

In March 2016, Bonner was featured on the season-premiere episode of FYI's Tiny House Nation, where he and his wife Nadia had a 276-sq.-foot house custom-built.[17]

lmao

hahahaha perfect

matty b is doing postgome analysis for the local fox sports spurs games
