Ray Williams has passed from being a star in the NBA to a homeless

Former NBA star Ray Williams, who played 12 years in the league, once captained the New York Knicks, scored over 10,000 points in his career and scored 52 points in a match.



Now Ray Williams is 55 years old and he lives in the Miami area, where he spends most of his days selling fish that he catches off a local pier.

With Williams, we get the garden-variety story of how he lost his money - living beyond his means for a time, avoiding a yearly NBA pension for a $200,000 lump sum and being victimized by a “real-estate scam.”

The most interesting about this particular situation is that Williams has never had drugs issues. While no one sets out to be homeless, it appears that Williams made a reasoned, conscious decision to live life on his own terms.
