Antoine Walker is THE cautionary tale.

The former Kentucky star wasa three-time NBA All-Star averaging 17.5 points a game for his career. He even has a ring from the 2006 Miami Heat.

He’s also the guy who earned $108 million in salary as a player yet was facing felony charges due to gambling debt in Las Vegas. Between his vices and supporting his extended family, he burned through it all. It was a hard fall.

Now a new documentary titled “Gone in an Instant: The Antoine Walker Story” will be released in August and chronicles that slide and his life. Above is the trailer.

That should be an interesting bit of viewing.
