The Saltiest Man In The World Arrested

When I say Tis Tuff in this case I mean Tis Tuff. Our dude, EX-NBA star, Employee Number 8, Antoine Walker was arrested this morning on suspension of drunk driving. And when we say suspension, we mean most likely drunker than a frat dude on a Saturday night.
At least Charles was on his way to get some action, ‘Twan was just alone, drunk, and chillin’ in Miami and he don’t even play for the Heat.
Notice above we did say Ex-NBA player, that is because at this time Antoine Walker is no longer employed by the NBA and nor has he been for several weeks. We do not even think he played a single minute this year while he sat the bench game after game for the sorry Memphis Grizz.
Riding the pine behind young fly dudes on a team below .500, he was one of your saltiest this season. Some day’s I would see him on the bench with a scowl that would give me nightmares for weeks after. That’s how salty this dude was.
This is Employee Number Eight are talking about, who was about to get a seasons worth of DNP’s. He’s only 32, not too too old. Dudes like: AI, Camby, Ray Allen, Kobe, Peja, Stevie Nash, Jermaine O’Neal, and even Big Z; who came out in the 1996 draft with him are still balling.
So he asked to be let go, thinking he would be picked up by one of many waiting to get a championship vet. And the Grizz obliged and bought out the rest of his contract, word is he got 95% of his $9 million contract. Not bad, but that was on December, 15. That is darn near a month ago.
No love from Boston, Cleveland, San Antonio…I guess those were just rumors huh? And rumors are only cruel if someone believes them. The triv part is and Antoine did. Now he is rich, but jobless. Forced into retirement from the sport he loved. So what do you do? Party it up in Miami, what else…
Too bad he thought drinking and driving would be fun. Now, with a DUI on the record the only way this guy is going to get paid playing basketball is overseas. If teams weren’t already rolling with him, they definitely aren’t going to be now. So NBA and old school ‘Twan Walker fans (I am talking those that remember him from his days on Kentucky) most likely you have seen him play for the last time.
And you probably remember him from years ago when he was on the Heat. At least that was a good and happy time, but still his face was always distorted like he had smelled something that stunk. So so long ‘Twan Walker, this your official retirement post! Do that shake for us one last time…
