Susan Reeves+FollowPerk’s Rookie Hazing: The Glove Never Paid UpMan, you gotta love these NBA rookie stories! Kendrick Perkins just dropped a wild one on the “All The Smoke” podcast about his Celtics days. Even in his second year, The Glove—Gary Payton—kept Perk on rookie duty, making him iron those famous Dickies suits and, get this, hunt down a bottle of Patron at 2 a.m. in Milwaukee. Perk shelled out $800 and never saw a dime back! NBA vets sure know how to keep the young guys humble. #Sports #Basketball #NBAStories00Share
Steve Francis+Follow"Richard Jefferson Recounts Gilbert Arenas’ Audacious College Scam: Fake Autographed Basketballs"Former NBA star Gilbert Arenas reportedly pulled off one of the wildest memorabilia schemes in college history—right under the NCAA's nose. As told by Richard Jefferson, who played alongside him at Arizona, Arenas didn’t exactly “steal 50 to 100 signed team balls,” as he once claimed. Instead, he purchased most of them and then forged the rest of the autographs, distributing the counterfeit basketballs. Jefferson even encountered one of them at the Tucson airport—a real head-turner. If the NCAA had caught wind of it, things could have gotten much worse. Arenas has since earned the nickname "Agent Zero" and forged a big-league career as a dynamic guard—but his college hustle was on another level. #GilbertArenas #RichardJefferson #CollegeBasketball #NCAA #NBAStories #SportsLegends #ThrowbackDrama #NBA #Sports 320Share
