As I'd posted from Rotoworld, Antoine was arrested on site, he was there to participate in a celebrity golf tournament.

I feel bad for my boy Toine.

He's probably in a huge rut or depressed after that Chicago hold up a couple years back.

Still it's no excuse for allegedly driving drunk nor refusing to pay back gambling debts.

Man, back in the day when Paul and Toine were together, I thought they could achieve anything, especially after the "greatest comeback in NBA playoff history".

Maybe I was too naive because it ended taking not one or two, but 3 Future Hall of Famers for us to win number 17.

I really hope Antoine can turn it around because all these bad news is hurting his chances to return to the NBA, as if his declining NBA skills and aging weren't enough of an obstacles.

I can't believe this even more when I heard he has made over 99 million in his career and he has come to this. Very sad.

"When you are caught up in it the way he is you feel like the only way out is to win it all back. There is only one way in this country to win $800,000 in one night, the draw back being it is the same way to lose another $800,000."

Well, one would hope that at Walker's age he'd be making decisions based on reason and logic, not his personal feelings. Oh well. Maybe this will be "hitting bottom" for him. I hope so. At some point one really want to become an adult.
