    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>An Illinois judge has tossed out a 2&frac12;-year prison sentence for former NBA player <u>Keon Clark</u>, saying he deserves a new hearing.

    Clark, 32, of Danville, said in Vermilion County Circuit Court on Friday that he is an alcoholic and was drinking a half pint to a pint of gin daily when he was playing pro basketball.

    "I never played a game sober, unfortunately," said Clark, who last played for the Utah Jazz and Phoenix Suns .

    Clark said in court that he started drinking in high school and, after he was drafted in the NBA by the Orlando Magic in 1998, he drank at games during halftime.

    "It just never stopped," he said.</div></p>

    How could he have drunk during halftimes? It's not like they go home for a 2-3 hour breakOn the other side, he's big, I doubt he could have had too much to drink. [​IMG]

    Lamar probably never plays sober too. His lazy ass probably also smokes weed before the game, during halftime, and after the game. Luke Walton always looks blazed too, I bet he does the same</p>
