Vin Baker was an Olympic basketball player and four-time NBA All Star. The journey from University of Hartford to professional basketball got him rich quick, but it was a lifestyle he couldn't keep up with.
Baker's struggle with alcoholism is well-documented, as is the fact he blew through $100 million. He lost his home and restaurant.
