Former NBA Player Walter Sharpe fired from Philippine league for drunkenness




Manila -  Walter Sharpe, who had short stints with the Seattle SuperSonics, Detroit Pistons, and the Denver Nuggets, was fired from his PBA team, the GlobalPort Batang Pier, for violating the rule that a professional player should be a good role model for the youth.

Globalport owner Mikee Romero ordered the dismissal Tuesday after he was photographed drunk and sleeping on a parking lot near the place where he was staying.

This happened a week after former New York Knicks and Denver Nuggets player Renaldo Balkman was banned from the Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) for choking his teammate.
