Antoine Walker
Posted by chad on Wednesday Mar 10, 2010 Under NBA$4 million dollars in debt….OUCH! That was the last we heard about Antoine Walker and nothing since. Walker hasn’t played in the NBA for more than two years, and the last transaction involving the former Celtic star was a buyout after not playing a minute for the Memphis Grizzlies.
The latest news is Walker is kind of playing professional basketball again. The strange this is that Walker has a profile on LatinBasket, so there is something happening there. Oddly enough, there are no stats or really anything except a headshot. Very weird.
According to reports by May, Walker tried to land a deal in the Chinese Basketball Association, which is the new home of Stephon Marbury. The Chinese Basketball Association would have been a perfect fit for Walker, with their inflated statistics and hefty paychecks.
Instead of doing that, Walker will have to prove he is in basketball condition, which has never been his specialty. Just playing for a month at $7,000 a week will leave him only $3.95 million short of repaying his debts. On top of that, he still has a DUI case against him and is awaiting trial for his arrest for writing bad checks at casinos.
Lets all hope that ‘Toine will be able to turn his life around .
