According to a Yahoo article, Antoine Walker is currently playing for a team in Puerto Rico. After blowing millions of dollars and being currently $4 million in debt, he’s trying to make his way back to the high paying NBA. I’m sure he’s doing it for the love of the game though. Right?
At any rate, I hate that Walker blew all that money but he has no one to blame but himself. I’m sure it’s hard to go from poor college student to instant millionaire with no financial background. Especially when you have all the new “friends” to take care of. Hopefully Walker ditched these guys, took a finance class, and is ready to take responsibility for his actions.
It could be a long road for Walker, or it could be as simple as receiving a signing bonus from a struggling team. For his sake, I hope it’s the latter. But it’s hard to feel sorry for someone who had everything only to lose it all by making stupid decisions.
