Vin Baker Never Found the Answers He Was Looking For at the Bottom a of Bottle

Vin Baker blew a promising NBA career by drinking and eating himself out of the league.
Now, he's apparently drank and eaten himself (and his parents) deep into debt.
Baker's restaurant, Vinnie's Saybrook Fish House in Old Saybrook, Connecticut closed recently and the bank that financed it claims it is owed close to $900,000 in unpaid loans. Also named in the suit are Baker's parents, who apparently put $400,000 into the failed venture last spring.
Baker signed a $35 million contract with the Celtics but when he started drinking the Celtics got out of that contract for a lot less than $35 million.
Last summer he was pulled over on a charge of drunk driving, after leaving Foxwoods, but eventually pleaded guilty to reckless driving.
