Former NBA player and Coach charged with a DUI

Drinking and driving are a decision that is often made in haste by either thinking you just had a few drinks, and you’re ok to drive, or you’ve had so much to drink that all sense reason is lost in the alcohol. With that being said before you begin drinking, please make arrangements to get home by making plans of time.
It’s easy enough these days to get a ride with Uber and Lyft. Another option, of course, is to simply designate a driver so that you may avoid your freedom being taken away. A DUI can happen at any time to anyone at any place based on one decision, getting behind the wheel after you’ve been drinking.
