In 2005, Lou Williams was drafted straight out of high school, and as a young rookie, he was desperate for any amount of cash he could get.
Williams was drafted in the second round by the Philadelphia 76ers, and was thrown in a locker room with veterans who had already earned more money than a rookie Lou Williams could ever dream of.
During an episode of the All The Smoke podcast with Stephen Jackson and Matt Barnes, Williams recalled a time when Barnes, Allen Iverson, and other veterans in the locker room challenged him to drink a six-pack of beer for $15,000, per source.
