David Lee paid for him and his Golden State Warriors teammates to party in Las Vegas.

The Golden State Warriors have been enjoying the spoils of their NBA Championship this summer. One of the celebrations was a trip to Las Vegas for the players to party.

The team didn’t all pay for themselves and decide to go as a collective group, Warriors’ David Lee paid for everyone to party in Sin City.

AND he even paid for each player to bring a couple of other guests along as well.

From GQ Australia:

"Andrew Bogut: We won on a Tuesday night. There was nothing on in Cleveland…we partied at a steakhouse until 5am. It was a Morton’s, which is a chain restaurant over there. A few days later, after the parade back in Oakland, we took a 3 o’clock charter flight to Vegas. Players only.Neat. Who footed the bill?AB: David Lee. He was nice to do that. We could bring plus two or three – I had a couple of Aussie mates tag along. It was the craziest party you’ll ever see."

Hopefully his Warriors teammates stepped up and footed the bills for what had to be some astronomical bar tabs while partying in Las Vegas.

When the Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup in 2011, they racked up a bar tab of $156,679.74 at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods Casino in Mashantucket, Conn. The Miami Heat similarly ran up a bar tab north of $100,000 celebrating their NBA championship.

And those were in a single night, much less what we presume to have been a multiple night trip to Las Vegas.

What makes this story an even bigger bummer, is that David Lee isn’t with the Warriors anymore after being traded to the Boston Celtics in the offseason. This Vegas trip might have been his last parting gift to his Warriors teammates.
