Woman Claims She Was Fired From Lingerie Shop For Being 'Too Hot'
Roger Ailes: Jon Stewart 'Wouldn't Do Well Without Fox,' Has Admitted…
You might be of the opinion that all NBA players are living the high life. This, for the most part, is true: Even your run-of-mill bench warmer is making good money (the average annual salary is over $4 million). Life isn't glamorous for all, however, especially not if the player in question is an unheralded rookie.Take Bobby Jones for example, a rookie last season, who served as what the Rocky Mountain News terms "Allen Iverson's personal valet" in Philly last year. Jones was tasked with a number of chores, including acting as AI's bodyguard (he kept autograph seekers away while Iverson played cards), carrying his superstar teammate's bags, and my personal favorite, Jones was Iverson's personal alarm clock on practice days.
"Just normal stuff," Jones said. "Take his orders and bring him his food on game days. Carry his shoes after practice. Just little things. Nothing too extreme."Now, I know that practice and Allen Iverson are no longer mortal enemies, but this story makes me feel extremely sorry for the poor rook who had to wake AI up on that fateful day.
"I was assigned to wake him up for training camp and make sure he got to the bus," Jones said.
