A new documentary will be coming out soon called “Gone In An Instant”. It is the story of how professional basketball player Antoine Walker made and lost over $100 million dollars doing the wrong things with his money.

This is Walker getting out into the media to tell his side of the story. He says he hopes to use his personal experience of making the wrong decisions to not only help other NBA players make smart choices with their money, but also regular everyday people realize that money will not last forever if you are doing the wrong things.

Walker was a great basketball player from Chicago, Illinois. He went to the University of Kentucky on a full basketball scholarship, won an NCAA national championship with the Wildcats, drafted to the NBA by the Boston Celtics, and even won an NBA Championship with the Miami Heat in 2006.

However, as good as Walker was on the court making the money, he was terrible off the court managing and growing his money. In fact, he flat out blew over $100 million dollars in NBA salary with his careless habits.

Friends and people close to the story say, Walker was pretty good with his money at first. But once he got the max deal of $115 million dollars, things began to unravel fast. The luxury homes, trips, clothes, girl friends, cars, gambling and supporting a large entourage of people feeding on his richest made the money dwindle fast.

Many will recall the ESPN 30 for 30 series “Broke” that chronicles professional athletes who have made and lost fortunes with the mismanagement of their funds. Obviously, Walker was one of the main people featured on the special, but this documentary aims to tell things from his perspective.

We hope the documentary comes out soon, so young black men and women from all over the planet have an opportunity to see a real life person go through the ups and downs of material wealth only to have it all taken away with a plethora of bad decisions.

Hopefully, it will inspire our next generation to develop sound financial controls in their life to ensure they never experience the pain of going broke, let alone losing over $100 million dollars.
