This is how you get kicked out of Vegas
During a recent episode of the Road Trippin podcast, Richard Jefferson shared a hilarious story from his younger days when he went to Las Vegas. Richard Jefferson said that NBA athletes are not little children, so they can handle themselves in Vegas’ nightlife. But at the same time, Jefferson revealed that he did get sent back home after getting into trouble in Vegas when he was 18 years old and admittedly immature.
Jefferson said, “I did get kicked out of Vegas as a kid and got sent home.” At the time, Jefferson was a freshman at the University of Arizona.
While walking down the halls of MGM Grand, Jefferson and his friend decided to annoy people. He said, “We would run and kick the rooms and go hide in our rooms and look how the people coming out.“
This did not last long, as they got caught. After that, Jefferson and his friend were made to go back home. But as the players are making their way to Sin City, Jefferson is not worried about how they will behave as they are all grown adults.
