Brooklyn Nets guard DeShawn Stevenson isn't the first person to put an ATM inside his house -- in fact, DeShawn tells TMZ, he straight up jacked the idea from a big-time reality star... DeShawn tells us, Rob Dyrdek put an ATM in his house long before he did -- and when DeShawn saw Rob's house on MTV ... the NBA star thought it was genius, so he got one himself. TMZ.com

Stevenson — who has earned more than $25 million and a championship ring with the 2010-11 Dallas Mavericks in his 12- year career — says he has no problem charging friends to use the machine, since many of those friends are millionaire NBA stars. “Pay that 4.50,” he tweeted. Stevenson said he got the idea in 2010, after seeing on MTV that skateboarding star Rob Dyrdek had put one in his house. He thought it was “genius.” New York Post

DeShawn Stevenson is as close to Deron Williams as any player on the Nets, bound by their mutual respect and connection to Dallas. Not a day goes by without Stevenson asking Williams about his future. The answer has never strayed from undecided. “I don’t know. I ask him everyday. It doesn’t change,” Stevenson said. New York Daily News

With a roster full of expiring contracts, the fear is that the lineup from Monday's loss to the Heat will too closely resemble opening night in Brooklyn. Avery Johnson understands it’s going to take more than a shiny new building to resurrect the franchise – “if we can get healthy, get Deron re-signed and add some veterans to help out team. …. Stevenson agreed, and then emphasized, “the key is that we get D-Will back.” Stevenson revealed some positive news for the Nets. He said the plan is for him and Williams to train at the PNY Center in East Rutherford during the offseason, even though both will become free agents. It gives time for Williams to see the Barclays Center sprout to near completion before choosing his next team. New York Daily News

But even in defeat, DeShawn Stevenson never seems to pass up the chance to land a shot on the King. This time, Stevenson it came in the form of a not-so-subtle postgame dig, when Stevenson was asked the difference between the Heat of this year and the Heat that lost to Stevenson’s Mavericks in last year’s Finals. “I think we were just a better team than them,” Stevenson said. “And then obviously LeBron didn’t play like he should have played [in the Finals].” Bergen Record

But mixed in with his dig, Stevenson also had plenty of praise for the Heat. “I just think they have more confidence,” Stevenson said. “LeBron has more confidence, Dwyane Wade always played well. And I think Bosh even he’s stepping up big. They’re just a solid team. And whenever you’ve got LeBron playing like that, they’re going to win the championship.” A moment later, Stevenson said he believed the Heat would win this year’s championship. “I think so,” Stevenson said. “I really do. … They’re a great team, a team that went to the Finals last year. That’s the same pieces with even more additions. They play the right way. They picked us apart. Just a great team.” Bergen Record

DeShawn Stevenson said he had a blood spinning treatment on both knees during the last week and the results have been amazing. He said his knees feel the best they have since "probably 2004." Stevenson said the procedure is the same that Kobe Bryant underwent in Germany, and several other athletes, notably Alex Rodriguez and Fred Couples, have also undergone. The procedure involved taking blood out of the veins in his arms, freezing it, spinning it, and then injecting it into the knee a day later. The procedure was performed in New York by the surgeon who had been the assistant to Bryant's surgeon. Newark Star-Ledger
