Former NBA player Keon Clark testified Friday that he started drinking alcohol in high school. By the time he was playing professional ball, he was drinking a half pint to a pint of gin a day. "I never played a game sober, unfortunately," said the 32-year-old Danville man, who admitted he's an alcoholic.
That would include 127 games played for the Raptors.
On the stand, Clark said the drinking that he started in high school progressed when he left Danville to play basketball at junior college and then at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas. It didn't help being in "the city of sin," he said.
After he was drafted in the NBA, he started drinking at games during halftime. "It just never stopped," he said.
I just want to know who was bartending in the Raps locker room. No one noticed he was swigging malt liquor during huddles?Keon Clark could have been a perennial defensive player of the year. I hope he gets some help.
