Steven Adams can afford to live a comfortable lifestyle, making $12.6million to play for the Houston Rockets this season, combined with the $100million-plus he has made in his career.
It came as a shock to fans when Adams posted a picture of his bedroom to his Instagram account this week that it was barely not empty.
The post was captioned ‘new beginnings’ with a praying hands emoji and showed a small bedroom that barely fit his bed.
The bed did not appear to have a frame and was laid on the floor. Nothing was hung up in the room, with only a few of Adams’ personal belongings on the window sill..
After the immediate shock of Adams living the minimalist lifestyle went away, a few fans stated what the big man’s bedroom actually says about him.
