Jamal Crawford says a $5,000 dice game loss ended up costing him his Mercedes-Benz as an NBA rookie
“I used to shoot dice all the time when I was a kid. Always ditching class, shooting dice. That's what I did”
“I was shooting with somebody, I ain't gonna say his name, and he started getting up. What happened was I lost the cash. I was a rookie. I probably had $5,000. I lost that. It happened so fast because we'd play from like 2 to 5”
“I lost the cash I had on me and I started betting on somebody else. So I never touched the dice again. I'm basically air betting. I have to bet with whoever was shooting against him because I'm trying to get my $5,000 back from that particular person”
“I'm betting with the opposition. So when he hits him, he's hitting me too. It got all the way up. The number got so high and I'm a rookie”
“I'm like, ‘I give you my car.’ I had two cars. I rather give you my car then go to the bank and get $100,000”
“He's like, ‘All right.’ And that's how I lost the car in the bet, but it wasn't to Jordan”
Insane: Marshawn Lynch reveals that he didn’t touch any of the $56,769,878 he made while playing in the NFL.
"On my off days, I’d go work with these brands and get a bag, bring in a couple 100 bands, and I could just eat off that and not worry bout my game check."
A true role model on and off the field 👏
