NBA Player Moves in with Parents

Jeff Teague is a starting point guard for the NBA's Indiana Pacers. He was recently traded from Atlanta to Indiana, and they just happen to play in Indianapolis, Jeff's hometown. So Jeff does, what any other Millennial would do, and moved back in with his parents. Oh, did I mention that Jeff makes eight million dollars a year. The twist, the house that his parents live in was actually Jeff's house, but when he played in Atlanta, he decided to give his parents his house in Indianapolis. As the story jokes, "… his parents aren't about to give up the master bedroom. 'I just have the basement,' Teague said."
