He took part in the WSOP Main Event in 2014 and only flew out on the third day. In 2018 he played at the PSPC, in 2019 he was seen at the Poker After Dark Cash Game, where he went all-in and called with ten against Randall Emmett&#8217;s 5-6 suited. A ten on the flop gave him a pot of $30,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Tim Duncan<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Parker&#8217;s teammate Tim Duncan is not only considered the best power forward ever, but he is also a huge poker fan. He also likes to spend his free time at casino tables or at home games with his friends. Phil Hellmuth, who appears to be well connected to the NBA, says Duncan is one of the best poker players in the NBA. Even if he is supposed to be a very funny contemporary behind the scenes, he has always proven himself to be a poker face, especially on the court.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">David Lee<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Lee was a very accomplished Big Man who had his greatest success with the Knicks and Warriors. He was a two-time All-Star, 2015, and had a successful career. In 2017 he married the Danish world-class tennis player Caroline Wozniacki and he also seems to make good decisions on the poker table. In 2015, Phil Hellmuth told Lee that he should have saved him $32,000 in a cash game.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Shawn Marion<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Because of his athleticism and versatility, Shawn Marion was given the nickname &#8220;The Matrix&#8221;. He was a four-time All-Star for the Phoenix Suns, and Dirk Nowitzki helped him to his only championship in 2011. Marion was a smart player with a lot of love for card games. Marion has played in several WSOP and WPT tournaments in the United States and also hosts Celebrity Poker Tournaments to raise money for his charitable Shawn Marion Foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Bob Sura<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Bob Sura played in the NBA from 1995 to 2005. He was a solid player and an even better teammate. He tried the Slam Dunk Contest once, but it didn&#8217;t go so well. Things are going better at the poker table. In 2017 he even made it to day 3 of the WSOP main event.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"p2\"><span class=\"s1\">Seth Curry<\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Seth Curry, the brother of the best shooter in NBA history Stephen Curry now also enjoys a very respectable career in the NBA and goes on a three-way hunt for the Dallas Mavericks. During the offseason, you can often find him at cash games at \u201cThe Bike\u201d in Los Angeles.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NBA and money are two sides of one coin and as NBA players are earning millions, they want to spend some part of their earning on their hobbies of gambling as well<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":145,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[92],"tags":[],"rumors":[],"typology":[],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-154521","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nba"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
