SPORTSbyBROOKS » Former NY Knicks Captain, NBA Star Is Homeless
The 55-year-old Williams now lives in the Miami area, where he spends most of his days selling fish that he catches off a local pier.
With Williams, we get the garden-variety story of how he lost his money - living beyond his means for a time, eschewing a yearly NBA pension for a $200,000 lump sum and being victimized by a “real-estate scam.”
But what’s most interesting about this particular situation is that Williams has never had substance abuse issues. While no one sets out to be homeless, it appears that Williams made a reasoned, conscious decision to live life on his own terms.
Tragic. Also tragic: people being surprised he didn’t have a drug problem. People blow their money all the time without drugs. Other things people blow: cocaine. It’s expensive too. Wait, I think I just argued my earlier point. Either way, buy a fish from Ray if you’re in the Miami area. I know I will (if I’m ever in the Miami area). #NonSequiturNBABlogging
