As we all know, in order to protect players, the NBA has introduced various welfare policies, such as retirement benefits, as long as you play in the NBA for more than three seasons, you can receive a pension from the NBA after retirement.
The NBA introduced such a policy in order to retain players and protect players, after all, players are the league's biggest selling point and cash cow, but some people use such policies to deceive.
Last year, the NBA detected insurance fraud, and from 2017 to 2021, 18 NBA players, led by Terence Williams, made a profit by submitting fake invoices to reimburse medical expenses that were never incurred.
Over a four-year period, they defrauded nearly $4 million from the health benefit plan, and Terrance received a total of $346,000 in kickbacks, as the ringleader, Terrance was a repeat offender, in addition to cheating on bail, he also once sent threatening text messages to a witness, so he was sentenced to 10 years in prison, compensation and forfeiture totaling about $3.1 million.
Terrance was the No. 11 pick in the first round in 2009 and was drafted by the Nets that year, he has a strong physical fitness, known as LeBron Jr., but he only spent four years in the NBA, playing for the Nets, Rockets, Kings, Celtics, and Guangdong in the 2012-13 season.
In addition to Terrance, there are also familiar faces like Alan Anderson, Tony Allen, Shannon Brown, Will Bynum, Marvin Ely, Douglas Roberts and others who are basically submissive.
And today, another former NBA player we know has been officially convicted, and he is Glenn Davis, a former Green Army champion. He was sentenced to 40 months and three years of supervised release, with $80,000 in damages.
Glenn Davis, known to many people and nicknamed Big Baby, was drafted by the SuperSonics with the fifth pick in the second round in 2007 and was subsequently traded to the Green Army.
Although the big baby is wide and fat, he is not less flexible on the court, he is a typical short and stout inside, and he is also very popular in the era at that time, he played 514 regular season games in the NBA, averaging 8 points and 4.4 rebounds per game, and has played for the Celtics, Magic and Clippers.
His highlight moment can be said to be in the Green Army and Magic period, the 07-08 season, which was also his rookie season, facing the Lakers in the Finals, he played his own name, and his meat shield with Perkins became a nightmare for the Lakers at that time, and in this year, he won the championship with the team.
Because of his hard work, he earned a salary of more than $30 million in the NBA, which was not a small amount of income at the time, and after retiring, Davis once joined the Big3 league and won the championship.
Davis should have a good retirement prospect, but he never thought that he would eventually embark on the road of crime, so he could only say, yes.
