Earlier this week, Brooklyn Nets forward DeShawn Stevenson tweeted a picture of him posing next to an ATM machine strategically positioned in his kitchen. A somewhat eccentric hipster basketball player with a personal ATM machine in his kitchen seemed odd enough—but thanks to TMZ, we now know he charges his friends $4.50 to use the machine. So he's a thrifty, somewhat eccentric hipster basketball player with a personal ATM machine in his kitchen.
Other details from the TMZ report: Stevenson paid $3,500 for the machine (which he got two years ago), and primarily has it in order to let "his rich NBA friends use it for last-minute cash withdrawals before they go out." The machine holds $20,000, he refills it 4-6 times a year, and somewhere, some enterprising criminals are trying to look up Stevenson's address on GoogleMaps. Stevenson got the idea for the ATM from MTV skateboarding star Rob Dyrdek (see this video), and gave this reason for buying it: "I like doing things that aren't normal and it's cool to have." Well, it certainly isn't normal charging your friends $4.50 service fees, so he's got that covered.
