Evelyn Lozada’s Ex-Fiance, Antoine Walker, Plays for D-League, Makes Less Than $25k A Year
Things ain’t lookin’ too good for former NBA baller, Antoine Walker, who just so happens to be the ex-fiance of Evelyn Lozada. The not-so-good reports about the former Boston Celtic seem to be getting worse. Reportedly, he plays for the D-League’s Idaho Stampede and is ‘deeply’ in debt. In an interview with Sports Illustrated, the interviewer painted the following picture of Walker’s current life:
The air is thick with the smell of smoke. The blinds are drawn. A lighter sits on the coffee table, next to a giant jug of Crystal Geyser water. Unlit incense sticks are nearby. On the TV a game of NBA 2K12 is paused in the second quarter—the Pacers versus the Spurs. There is a large box of Cheez-Its on the floor and bagged-up cartons of Kentucky Fried Chicken in the corner. Boxes of Corn Pops and Cap’n Crunch line the top of the refrigerator.
In five hours Walker will take the court for the Idaho Stampede of the NBA’s Developmental League. For now he has agreed to talk about how and why he came to be here—a three-time All-Star living in a $915-a-month apartment he shares with reserve guard Chris Davis, and playing for a salary of less than $25,000. He has no car, subsists mainly on cold cuts and fast food and plays in front of crowds as small as 155.
Damn. Peep the full story here.
[Editor’s note: Last summer, outside of a popular Miami Beach hotel, I spotted Walker and some fly young lady getting out of their car, heading inside the hotel that I was staying at. IDK what ‘broke’ looks like, but he didn’t ‘appear’ to be broke, but hell, who knows.]
