From taking a bath in red wine to hanging out with a dictator, these are the weirdest things NBA players do off the court. And Rajon Rondo literally makes children cry for fun?
Yeah, back in 2006, when Rondo was drafted by the Celtics, he wanted to get involved in Boston's community. And what better way to do that than by mentoring the kids? So Rondo started volunteering at this local boys and girls club. But it was there that Rondo became a menace to society. Because when it came time to playing the kids' favorite game, Connect 4, Rondo went on a killing spree. He challenged every kid he could find, beating them all one by one.

Connect 4 I'm the champion.

And if that wasn't enough, he even started playing multiple games at once, just to add to their embarrassment. By the time Rondo was done, children were left crying in defeat. Stripped of their dignity. And Rondo's Connect 4 addiction didn't stop there, because over the years, he went on to destroy analyst, NBA players, college students. This guy is a mad man. So y'all need to hide your kids, hide your wife, because Rondo's coming, and he's gonna beat you in Connect 4
Now, Rondo is a weird guy, but what Amari Stoudemire does off the court isn't just weird, it's disgusting. Back in 2014, when Amari was playing for the Knicks, he was looking for ways to wind down after the games. And, you know, he has a lot of options. Read a book, play some video games. Nah, this man decided to take a nice, relaxing bath. Wait, that's not weird at all.
Except it is weird, because it was a bath full of red wine. Yeah, Amari literally fills up his entire bathtub with gallons of red wine and just chills in it. And when a reporter asked him why, Amari made it even weirder. And what is the sensation like? Like, how does it feel?

**SPEAKER_2** (2:00)
I mean, why don't you come in and try it? I know you're only five foot, sir.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:02)
There's plenty of room for it. I guess that would be the professional thing to do. Somebody got some shorts? Glad you could join me.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:11)
Oh, man. Feels...

**SPEAKER_1** (2:14)
You know what it feels like? It feels like money, to be honest.

**SPEAKER_2** (2:18)
Have you tasted this?

**SPEAKER_1** (2:20)
I have not tasted it. Last season, when you took to the floor...

**SPEAKER_2** (2:24)
Next question.

**SPEAKER_1** (2:27)
Did this grown-ass 6'10 man just splash wine on another man in a bathtub? Is that what just happened?
Let's just move on. Hey, at least Amari still had basketball, I guess. Because sometimes, the weird things that NBA players do off the court ends their entire career. And that's exactly what happened to Matt Bonner. See, back in 2014, Matt was on the Spurs, and he was playing like complete garbage. I mean, this dude was averaging just three points a game. How could he be that bad? Well, it turns out that off the court, Matt had an addiction that was taking over his life.
Sandwiches. Being in the NBA, he got to travel from city to city, trying sandwiches from all over the country. And this strange sandwich addiction led Matt to starting up his own website, where he would blog about all of the different sandwiches he was trying, called Matt Bonner, Sandwich Hunter. One day, he'd be at a food store in Dallas, and the next he'd be at a deli in Sacramento, just trying all different types of sandwiches. And this obsession took priority over everything, including basketball. Matt wasn't hitting the gym or practicing. He was too busy eating sandwiches and blogging. And just a year later, his addiction won, as Matt was forced to retire from the NBA in 2015 Now, at least Matt still had sandwiches and his life, because some NBA players do some weird things that almost kills them, like Carmelo Anthony. See, back in 2015, Carmelo was on a vacation in the Bahamas with LeBron, Chris Paul, and Dwayne Wade, where they decided to rent the finest sea vessel across the land, a banana boat.
Now, there's a lot of problems with this picture, but there's one problem that takes the cake. Where the hell is Carmelo? Well, apparently, before this picture was taken, Mello thought it'd be a good idea to jump off the banana boat into the middle of the ocean without even knowing how to swim. Yeah, this is where things get deadly, because when Mello got hit by a massive wave, he got sucked into the current and started drowning. He was sinking fast, and his life was flashing before his eyes, when all of the sudden, something glimmered in the distance, something big, long, and yellow? The banana boat was coming to save him, and that's the last thing Mello remembers before blacking out.
