Jamaal Tinsley Paid $250,000 In Fines For Refusing To Shower With Teammate’s After Games And Practices 

 

Former NBA player Bruno Sundov made an appearance on the Podcast Inkubator and told a crazy story about Jamaal Tinsley.

During their time with the Indiana Pacers, Tinsley accumulated around $250,000 in fines from the Pacers, simply because he refused to shower after practices and games.

 

“Tinsley wouldn’t shower after practices or games. We easily enter or exit the shower, and he would be dressed already exiting the locker room. Once, twice, three times… And Reggie Miller says to the team manager: ‘Bring the team rule book, we have to add one change that every player must shower after every training session, especially after every game, otherwise he will be punished.’ The first fine was $500, and it would be doubled every other time he didn’t take a shower…

… Guess how much Jamal Tinsley paid in fines for not showering? He paid $250,000 in fines because he did not want to shower after practices. It’s like he’s taking a shower at home; he doesn’t want to be naked among everyone… We counted at the end, and he paid $250,000 worth of fines for not showering; in the end, a scandal broke out, and he had to speak with his agent, and his girlfriend.”
