lietuvalabas · 10-07-2021, 10:42 AM

But....most all of them made miilions in their careers...surely the saved some...?

jcardstore · 10-07-2021, 10:51 AM

I once thought Jamario Moon was gonna be a star

Looks like I was right, in the wrong way

kaisersoze · 10-07-2021, 11:05 AM

lots of ex nets lol and terrance williams was the ring leader. thought he was going to be a beast in the league

jr24ai3 · 10-07-2021, 11:08 AM

Darius Miles made $62 million
CJ Watson $23 million
Ruben Patterson $36 million
Will Bynum and Shannon Brown $17 million
Eddie Robinson $28 million
Glen Davis $34 million

Were these guys just desperate for money after blowing through the millions they made or just stupid and greedy... just crazy.

It seems that after the FBI learned about the exact same scheme going on with ex-NFL players they decide to take a look around, MLB will be next

cboog3105 · 10-07-2021, 11:11 AM

of course glen davis is involved

Jpayne7787 · 10-07-2021, 11:22 AM

A lot of familiar local names lol

the guy that had the most hype in that group after Miles, was this guy.

his floor was supposed to be an all star caliber player in the league the way he was being hyped.

bpc3qh · 10-07-2021, 11:49 AM

Man, I remember quite a few of these guys. I especially remember when Telfair was gonna be a mainstay for a long time. Yeesh.

scotthenrichs · 10-07-2021, 11:59 AM

This was like a who's-who of NBA busts circa 2002.

Can Topps make Penal League hoops cards?

Ruben Patterson was the kobe stopper, will he be the Bubba stopper?

Kidding if anyone does prison time they're going to a prison where they don't have basketball courts...instead tennis courts

jjcan · 10-07-2021, 01:02 PM

So NFL players got popped, NBA players got popped, Baseball next?

He should’ve already been in prison for raping his kid’s nanny and then failing to register as a sex offender.

I pulled a sweet sign of the times gold of Ruben Patterson back in '99. Also used to have a real nice Telfair collection. That's when I learned to not invest in rookies.

Me too! I still have some of his rookies. Some NT autos, Chrome and other rookie autos.

spurs50fan · 10-07-2021, 01:51 PM

Imagine the dread going down that list and praying...the player you collect...

Should just do it legit like Garrett Temple's brother

I'll forgive him for all of this is he just reimburses me $200... and it can't be from that defrauding stash!

Made that much money playing a game and then commit fraud for pennies, comparatively speaking.
