Professional athletes are notoriously known for blowing through their money and acting like the typical baller in the clubs, and that’s one of the reasons so many athletes end up broke when it’s time to retire from their chosen sport. Of course baby momma drama is the quickest way to inherit money troubles, but nothing increases the chances of struggling financially than being a frivolous spender. Perhaps Indiana Pacers player Lance Stephenson knows this all too well because he disappointed plenty of “adult dancers” the other night at the club when he decided to only make it rain, or drizzle with $1100. While that’s not technically chump change for most people, the dancers expressed they were disappointed he didn’t spend more considering most athletes drop at least $5000 to be entertained. TMZ reports:
Just hours after Lance and the Indiana Pacers lost game 7 to the Miami Heat Monday … the shooting guard eased his pain at King of Diamonds — the gentleman’s club where Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, and Rihanna frequently make it rain.
Lance on the other hand … made it sprinkle. Our KOD sources say the 22-year-old stood in the corner most of the night, only got 2 lap dances, and dropped a grand total of about $1100.
Not that $1100 is chump change, but typically we’ve seen celebs shower dancers with $5,000 to $10,000.
Apparently the dancers weren’t too thrilled the NBA player didn’t take the route most athletes and rappers take by dropping tens of thousands dollars in the club. So they decided to reach out TMZ and try to play him. But just maybe Lance doesn’t want to end up as the typical broke athlete when his days in the NBA are over. And that’s understandable.
They’ve got to be joking. I don’t see anything wrong with that. Since when does one person have to pay a stripper $5000? Be happy you don’t work in a club where only making $100 is a good night. I
I don’t blame him. Why spend a whole bunch of money on strippers anyway? Save that money and invest it!
These strippers are just salty. And they probably weren’t worth the money he did spend. I will never understand the purpose of a strip club. That’s just me.
He did the right thing. Men only drop lots of money on skrippers because they think it makes them look successful. I think it’s dumb. That money would be better spent on starting a business and investing into stocks.
Smart guy!!!!
LOL. They’re mad. I’m glad he had some sense. He doesn’t know these women. $5000 for what?
Right.
This just proves these men go to strip clubs for status reasons. Sad.
Not all.. perhaps his boys wanted to go after the game and he was down. She clearly said that he was in the corner most of the time so he’s probably not into all of it. plus they lost the game
True.
It’s pretty sad they tried to clown him for being smart about his money. Smh.
bye. lol.. he is not obligated to spend anything so they should chill.
$1100 is prob more than most strippers get on a regular day, be happy..
unappreciative strippers
Raggedy hoes aren’t worth the money. Other athletes should learn from this guy.
LOL.
But every last one of them strippers would want him to “wife” them up and would complain if he kept “making it rain” on their stripper buddies once they got upgraded…. Girl bye!
