    Man Antoine Walker what happened. So many off the court problems I can't even begin to think about them. Guy finally hung them up though, he was playing D-league ball. 3 time all-star and was part of that 2001-2002 Celtics team him and Pierce carried the load. 17.5 points, 7.7 rebounds and 3.5 assists over his career not to bad if you consider that he sucked badly after about 2005.

    He does have wide range of talent

    How many players in NBA history have won an NCAA title, an NBA title, and earned more than $90 million?

    Two. Michael Jordan and Antoine Walker.

    Happy travels, 'Toine.

    Perhaps the most egregious ball hog of all time (usg rate vs. efficiency).

    So he's too washed up even to make money in the D-league? Sad story.

    i'm pretty sure there're more than 2.
    Richard Hamilton also won NCAA and NBA title plus earned over 90$ over his career.

    he should talk to Stephon Marbury and try to make a come back in the CBA. He can make a decent amount of money still.

    One of the worst volume scorers of all-time. His career TS% was only 48.4%. There are plenty of PFs that average that as their FG%.

    Yet somehow, on Basketball-reference he is ranked evenly with Calvin Murphy as the 181st best player in history.
