When Arenas announced that he would use the entire 50,000 USD to buy sports gear for all the players in the training camp, the gym erupted with excitement and cheers.
Everyone was a little unsure whether they should thank Arenas, Su Xi, or... Marcus Banks.
Banks's agent, Todolama, took out a check for 50,000 USD. He said gracefully, "We admit defeat in our bet, and we are also very happy to approve of the way Arenas is handling this money..."
"Gimme that." Arenas snatched the check and held it high.
The crowd cheered once again.
He had no intention of giving Lamasa a chance to show off.
Lamasa was a little embarrassed.
What was even more embarrassing was that he later found Su Xi. He said he hoped the matter would end here at the training camp and cryptically warned Su Xi not to publicize it. At the same time, he deliberately reminded Su Xi that he represented many players in the NBA, implying he should leave himself a way out.
