aw Walkers Gambling AddictionAntoine Walker is having trouble not only landing a job in the NBA but also a problem with finding a casino in Vegas that will supply his expensive taste in gambling.

Walker, nicknamed Employee Number 8, is now employee number minues 822,500.

Walker was charged with three felonies for allegedly obtaining gambling markers by passing $1 million in bad checks to three Las Vegas casinos: Caesars Palace, Planet Hollywood, and Red Rock Resort.

Walker has paid back some of the bad markers, but still owes $822,500 in cold hard cash.

Last year it was sort of a big story when Charles Barkley admitted he had blown millions in gambling and now Antoine’s story may help prove the point that old washed up athletes are still great at one thing – throwing away a ton of cash. Or in Walker’s case, bad checks.

Best of luck with this one Mr. Walker.

Any NBA franchise interested?
