I remember on July 23, 2002 I was the most pissed off person in Boston. The Celtics traded Kenny Anderson, Vitaly Potapenko and Joseph Forte to Seattle for Baker, a Connecticut native, and the backup guard Shammond Williams.
Vin Baker came to Boston and immediately regressed into the drunk. Baker revealed that he was a recovering alcoholic who used to binge in hotel rooms and at home after playing poorly. And after then coach Jim O'Brien smelled booze on his breath at practice he was suspended and ultimately released.
Now he is saying that his financial adviser lost him millions of dollars. He claims his financial adviser lost nearly all of his $86 million nest egg through negligent investments.
C'mon man. Your financial adviser didn't lose you money, YOU lost you money. You obviously were too irresponsibility to make millions playing a game, the odds that you made some bad decisions off the court makes complete sense. It's called Karma Vin, and it just caught up to you.
