Antoine Walker former NBA stud and 3 point specialist has encountered some financial problems of late. According, to several newspaper and Internet reports Walker after making millions in the NBA is broke. In his 12 year NBA career Walker has made more than $110 million along with money coming from endorsements. During the last several months, the once millionaire athlete has been pursued by multiple financial institutions for unpaid debts. Walker owes approximately $4 million to debt collectors.

Walker financial troubles were brought to light in July, when he was arrested for writing bad checks to a casino in Lake Tahoe, California. Walker wrote $800,000 in fraudulent checks to the casino. Walker also faces felony check fraud charges in Las Vegas. All his financial trouble cannot be blamed on his obvious gambling problem; he supported about 70 friends and family members over his NBA career. I wonder if they will help him out in his time of need. This is a crazy ending to a once prominent career. I don’t know what the futures hold for Antoine Walker, but the VILLA wishes him the best of luck with his future.
