Wednesday, Andre Roberson inked a new three-year, $30 million deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Thursday, he tipped less than three percent on a $500 tab.
Roberson and 12 of his friends went to the Chupacabra Cantina restaurant in Austin, Texas Wednesday night, racking up a $487.13 bill. Rather than share his newfound wealth with others, Roberson left a $13.97 tip, which is less than three percent of the bill.

If that wasn’t bad enough, Roberson was apparently trying to make the final bill an even $500, according to TMZ and as shown in the bill itself. Twitter let the swingman know that he missed the mark.

So Andre, why leave such a low tip? We know you had the money to leave a proper tip, even before signing your new, lucrative multi-year deal.
Roberson took to Twitter to answer that question, saying that he only bought one bottle at the bar and that there was no service.
Shouldn't have had to tip you it was just a bottle at a bar …there was no service ..now I can see if it was a club! You Reaching bro

The 25-year-old returned to Twitter roughly an hour later and tried to change the subject.
In other news! Where is @Enes_Kanter & @RealStevenAdams these days hope your doing good brodies!!!

Roberson averaged a career-high 6.6 points and 5.1 rebounds per game last season. Over four years with OKC, he has averaged 4.5 points and 3.9 rebounds per game.
Let’s hope that Roberson leaves a bigger tip next time he goes to a bar or restaurant cause he is able to leave a proper tip.
