So, Why Was John Calipari Hanging Out With Tucker Max?
It may have been the worst Tweet ever. A photo of internet ur-bro Tucker Max just chilling on a private jet with Kentucky pomade model John Calipari. How the hell did this happen? Short answer: Max paid for it.
Max was a participant at last September's John Calipari Basketball Fantasy Experience, where adult campers spend three days getting instruction from Cal and other college coaches, playing ball in UK facilities, and partying at Calipari's house, with packages ranging from $7,000-$11,000.
The weekend concluded with a silent auction with proceeds going to charity. There, one camper tells us, Max bid on and won a night with Calipari, including a private plane ride to Charlotte to take in last night's Bulls-Bobcats game. According to the camper, Max's winning bid was "about $25,000."
Yesterday was a busy day for Calipari:
