Deshawn Stevenson spent $ 27 million, and now sells the ring of champions
Deshawn Stevenson, a former NBA basketball player, has announced that he is selling his 2011 championship ring when he defeated the Miami Heat with the Dallas Mavericks in the final. For Stevenson, it is the only champion title in his career. He spent 13 years in the NBA and was an essential player on every team he played for.
Stevenson is remembered by NBA fans as one of the key players in Dallas' lines for the NBA title. He scored only 4.5 points per game, but he played a huge role in defense. Namely, he guarded LeBron James quite successfully. Stevenson, in addition to his defense, was also known as a barker, as the Americans say, a "trash talker" who knew how to throw other players out of step with his stories.
He played for the Utah Jazz, Orlando Magic, Washington Wizards, Dallas Mavericks, New Jersey Nets, and Atlanta Hawks. He ended his career in 2013. But after the end of his career, he ran into problems due to his inability to dispose of the money. He made more than $ 27 million in those 13 years and spent almost all the money.
Stevenson is known for his raucous parties. He also spent money on travel and various luxury items. He even installed an ATM in his house so he could withdraw money from it. He found himself in trouble over lawsuits filed against him by American Express six years ago.
The sale of his ring was announced by the auction house SCP Auctions. The starting price should be $ 30,000.
