Nets Rookie Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Cant Afford New York City Rent

The forward called rent rates in and around the city ridiculous and told the Wall Street Journal that he had to take on two roommates to avoid blowing his $1.33 million rookie salary on a place to stay.

You can live in a nice, three-bedroom condo with all that in Dallas for like two thousand bucks, Hollis-Jefferson told the paper. Three bedroom, three-bathroom in New York, youre paying eight grand. Its ridiculous.

Hollis-Jefferson currently lives in Northern New Jersey with his brother, Rahlir who plays in the D-League and Europe and a friend. He told the Journal that hes thinking of moving to Brooklyn when the Nets move their practice facility there.
