    Ex-NBA Player Renaldo Balkman Chokes Teammate During Meltdown in Philippines
    I thought he was some mellow dude....guess not..LOL!


    Balkman was also on the Spin.PH's Snow Badua podcast and offered the following:
    It was in the heat of the moment, I was frustrated, I hate myself for what I did. Everybody sees me as a bad person. But, that’s not me, that’s not me. [...]
    I am a professional, I am not supposed to do that. I already apologized to Arwind (Santos), his family and my teammates, including our bosses.
    Everybody does something once in a life, they’re not supposed to do. At the time I blanked out and went at it. It’s my first time ever in my entire life to do that.


    I guess you could say things could be going better for former NBA player Renaldo Balkman , who once enjoyed stints with the Nuggets and Knicks before departing overseas to play in the Philippines...

          Not sure if that 1.7 was supposed to be in PH or what (which would be about 50k I think in USD)

            And i can promise you that guys who play in lower level foreign leagues never see close to what is reported what they are to get paid.

            Brandon Jennings among other guys was very public that he got stiffed by a LOT
