Treating guests is an inseparable part of Chinese social life. In American society, it is more called a party, but it is all based on eating. NBA stars are high-income earners, so it shouldn't be a problem to eat whatever delicacies they want. But in reality, many embarrassing and interesting things happen. Treating guests has become a kind of knowledge. If you are not careful, you will be embarrassed or even get half the result with twice the result. The world of foodies is always interesting.

Stingy Garnett

Garnett has earned hundreds of millions of dollars in his career and has no shortage of money to spend. But it's probably not that easy for him to treat guests. Even if it's the team's players' meal, he's reluctant to let others touch it. Pierce shared an interesting anecdote in an interview with "The Players Tribune". He said that KG prohibited outsiders from eating food prepared for the players in the team's locker room, and once knocked over the opponent's plate in anger.

Pay for the game

James and Wade are both superstars in the league and typical rich people. But when two people go out to eat, there is no scene of rushing to pay as Chinese people like to see. Instead, they play a game to decide who pays the bill. The specific rules of the game are that everyone puts their credit cards in a hat, and the restaurant waiter takes out a credit card from the hat. Whoever the selected credit card belongs to will pay for the entire meal.

Can't stop your mouth while eating

"Can't stop your mouth even when you eat", describes someone who talks too much. NBA stars love to talk trash on the court, but they don’t stop talking during meals. "Jordan always tried to talk trash. The last time we had dinner, Jordan said to me, 'If I were at my peak in 1991, I would blow you up.'" Kobe said, "My response was, 'Please, Michael, enjoy your salad. '"

Durant was refused a box reservation

As a man of wealth and status, NBA stars will definitely do the same when going out to eat. Choose a private room to enjoy your meal. The Warriors challenged the Thunder in an away game. Durant, who returned to Oklahoma City, wanted to book out the entire Mahogany Steakhouse for the Warriors team to dine after the game, but the request was rejected by the restaurant. The restaurant manager said: "I'm sorry, but I can't do it. I have to be loyal to the fans and people here, because many people will dine after the game."

Ci Shiping's treat went bankrupt

It sounds incredible at first, but it does happen. In 1999, in order to celebrate being selected by an NBA team, he, who was still called Artest at the time, was going to celebrate, so he invited relatives and friends to come. What made people speechless was that more than 50 people came at once, some of whom he didn't know at all. They were relatives of relatives and friends of friends. This group of people played in Chicago for two weeks. After they left, Ci Shiping found that he didn't even have enough money to pay the rent. He went bankrupt without playing an NBA game.
