Athlete of the Day---Antoine Walker


Antoine Walker was possibly the most annoying player to watch in NBA history. 6'9" slow unathletic power forward who avoided contact at all times. He shot 3 pointers like every time he got the ball. When asked why he shot so many 3s Walker responded, "Because they don't have 4 pointers." So you'd probably think he was like a Tom Beringer caliber sniper from deep right? Wrong. He was 32% for his career. Not bad enough to never shoot them, but definitely not good enough to take 7 per game. He was a career 41% shooter overall which is fucking miserable for a power forward. Possibly the worst all time actually.

Antoine played 13 seasons in the NBA and made tens of millions of dollars. He is somehow broke less than 2 years after he retired. I don't care who you are or what you buy. That is doing some work. I mean you have to be like the worst gambler in history to blow that kind of cash.
