Where does this guy go furniture shopping, to a bodega?
Brooklyn Nets forward DeShawn Stevenson has installed an ATM in his Dallas home for guests to use when they run low on cash.
The NBA star’s visitors are in for a big surprise, however, when they find out Stevenson charges them a $4.50 ATM fee.
The 31-year-old hoops player reportedly paid $3,500 for the machine, which holds $20,000. He fills it up four to six times a year.
“I like doing things that aren’t normal, and it’s cool to have,” he told TMZ.
He said he has the machine so that pals can cash up before they leave for a night on the town — or when they are playing cards.
“We play cards.” he tweeted. “Hate leaving house so come on down 2 ATM Dsteve.”
He didn’t say why he set his ATM fee at nearly double the national-average fee of $2.40.
Stevenson — who has earned more than $25 million and a championship ring with the 2010-11 Dallas Mavericks in his 12- year career — says he has no problem charging friends to use the machine, since many of those friends are millionaire NBA stars.
“Pay that 4.50,” he tweeted.
Stevenson said he got the idea in 2010, after seeing on MTV that skateboarding star Rob Dyrdek had put one in his house. He thought it was “genius.”
Dyrdek on Twitter said he installed the machine so friends would stop hitting him up for credit while gambling at his home.
“For the record, I had to get that ATM cause we used to roll dice nonstop and I was sick of loaning people money!” he said.
The ATM might help Stevenson with something else: legal fees.
In 2001, he pleaded no contest to charges of statutory rape involving consensual sex with a 14-year-old girl in Fresno, Calif. He was sentenced to community service.
In 2011 he was busted for public intoxication while celebrating two days after the Mavericks’ NBA championship win and was slapped with a $400 fine.
