Warriors player Jordan Bell sits out for one game suspension for charging items to assistant coach
Golden State Warriors’ player Jordan Bell is accused of charging incidentals at his hotel and putting it on assistant coach Mike Brown’s tab.
Golden State Warriors’ player Jordan Bell was doing the most this week, charging up incidentals at his hotel and putting it on assistant coach Mike Brown’s tab.
That little stunt got him suspended from Wednesday night’s game against the Grizzlies because of “conduct detrimental to the team,” according to The Athletic.
There’s no word on what exactly Bell was buying and putting on Brown’s bill, but it didn’t take long to trace the unauthorized purchases to him since he’s reportedly pulled this stunt before.

Bell has a history of being unprofessional.
In 2017, he got into a confrontation with Warriors coach Steve Kerr and his trusty teammates Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant had to talk some sense into him.
Word is he’ll be back playing in Friday’s game against the Timberwolves. Hopefully, he can stay on the straight and narrow.

Michael Jordan turns down deal over silly phrase
Speaking of silly antics, Michael Jordan, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, isn’t for foolishness.
The retired NBA player turned business mogul has been known for making big bucks from endorsement deal, however, in a 1992 interview that has resurfaced on Wednesday, Jordan says he was unwilling to say the silly phrase, “beanee weenies” as part of a possible business deal.

In an interview with Playboy, Mark Vancil asked Jordan about brands that he endorsed and those that he rejected. That’s when the businessman revealed that he declined an offer with Quaker Oats because of having to say “beanee weenies” on camera.
“Two or three years ago Quaker Oats came to me to endorse Van Kamp’s pork and beans — Beanee Weenees, I think it was called,” Jordan said. “You ever heard of Beanee Weenees pork and beans? It was close to a million bucks a year. I’m saying, Beanee Weenees? How can I stand in front of a camera and say I’ll eat Beanee Weenees?”
It’s important to note, Jordan had yet attained the success of being the billionaire that he is today, but he obviously didn’t think to make a million dollars a year was a big deal either.
