Former NBA player Rex Chapman was arrested on Friday for stealing more than $14,000 of merchandise from an Apple Store. Chapman is accused of seven thefts over the course of several months in Scottsdale, AZ. He allegedly sold the stolen items for cash at a local pawn shop. From 3TV Phoenix:
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — Former Phoenix Suns player Rex Chapman is accused of stealing merchandise from the Apple store in Scottsdale.
Chapman, 46, was arrested on Friday at approximately 1:45 p.m. after police stopped his vehicle in northeast Scottsdale.
Police began investigating the case in August when employees reported a series of shoplifting incidents involving the same suspect over a period of a few months.
Police said Chapman allegedly picked up items in the store and made it appear that he was paying for them with an iPhone app through the store’s self-checkout system.
He would then leave the store without actually paying for the items. He allegedly took merchandise to a local pawn shop and sold it for cash.
There were seven incidents of theft reported to Scottsdale police that detectives believe Chapman is responsible for. The value of the stolen merchandise is estimated at more than $14,000.[/URL]

poor taste in products lol. Of all the things to go down in history with.

On a more serious not yes its sad how these professional athletes end up with no money and end up stealing and/or begging for cash (AI)
 
My initial thoughts on seeing the headline was: "Gee, how many apples can 1 guy EAT??? Ohhh, waaaaaaaaaiiiiiit..." lol! :ermm: BIG night last night, that's my excuse... haha
 
It's not sad, it's stupid, if you blow millions it's only the person in the mirrors fault, how do they manage to blow so much money, you would think that once you got down to your last million you would wake up and go shit I better clamp down on my spending lol
 
These guys are/were sports stars. Not accountants. (well some are that too)

Although with 20 million, he could have hired a decent accountant and financial advisor.

Or in the very least a criminal advisor that would surely have told him: steal something worthwhile and less traceable than electronic products to pawn at your local pawn shop. *SMDH*

Kemp also got booted out of 1 college for stealing a gold chain, and other colleges didn't want him cause he didn't have the grades. Athletic freak, yes, intelligent guy, no, but he also made close to 200 million throughout his career.

Anyone seen the doco broke? It's really interesting to see players talk about how much money they made and how they went about wasting it all.

For the record, its been cleared that Kemp never stole the gold chain, he just didn't snitch on the "friend" that did.
Kemp laid a lot of women..A LOT. how could he not, beast of a player on the court, beast of a playa off the court...
At least he has a decent legitimate business now; Oskars resto in Seattle.
Better off than a lot of ex ballers.
