Terez, I'm not Super at being a Super..

Former NBA all-star Antoine Walker is apologizing for “unacceptable” living conditions at Chicago buildings owned by his companies. Walker told the Chicago Tribune he wants to “humbly apologize” to everyone who has been affected by the failings of his companies, Walker Ventures LLC and AW Realty LLC. One building has been described as a slum nuisance by the city. A broken sewer pipe filled the basement with feces and debris, and bricks tumbled from the building’s facade. More than a dozen lawsuits have been filed against Walker’s companies over poor management and unpaid debts. Walker is also facing criminal charges over gambling debts to three Las Vegas casinos. Walker, a former star with Minnesota, Boston and Miami, hasn’t signed with a team this year. He was an all-state player at Chicago’s Mount Carmel High School before graduating in 1994. He went on to play at Kentucky before his NBA career. -AP
