According to the Associated Press, former Celtics big man and University of Hartford graduate Vin Baker, 35, was spotted driving erratically after leaving Foxwoods Resort Casino, according to a state police report. He failed a sobriety test and was charged with driving while impaired.
Baker has battled depression and alcohol issues for several years. He was released by the Celtics during the 2003-04 season.
Guess this kills that Grizzlies trade Chris Wallace was working on.
On a more serious note, what a screwed up guy. I'm beginning to wonder if Baker will ever get his life in order.
Once upon a time Vin Baker was a decent even Good NBA player. It is too bad no Sad what has happened with him over the last few years. One can only HOPE that he finds a way to get his life back on track.
Take Care Vinny.
Shappy
Sad thing is Isaiah will still take him.
