Renaldo Balkman was drafted by the New York Knicks in the first round of the 2006 NBA Draft and went on to have a brief, uneventful career with New York and the Denver Nuggets before traveling overseas to play in the Philippine Basketball Association.
Apparently during a late game situation Balkman was aggravated by an official’s call, and that eventually led to Balkman choking one of his own teammates, Arwind Santos.
Balkman has since taken to Twitter to apologize for the incident:
I wld like to apologize to the fans, Petron Blaze, my teammates, the PBA and especially @tubidronald71 and @arwind029

What a joke, and he probably wonders why he's not in the NBA.
What a POS, had to go out of country to find a team.
and I checked with the Better Business Bureau and was told that it is all legitHow they can sell gift
cards, laptops, cameras, and all kinds of goodies that we all want for 50-90% off, I don't know. I do
know that I bought my son an iPad there for less than $100 and my husband a $250 Loews gift
cards for $48.Why would I even think about shopping anyplace else?

Race has nothing to do with this guys actions, if it was a white guy what would you say? Pure ignorance was brought up by the person who brought up race.
Before Renaldo Balkman was drafted by the New York Knicks in the first round of the 2006 NBA Draft and went on to have a brief, uneventful career with New York and the Denver Nuggets before traveling overseas to play in the Philippine Basketball Association, he wasn't ever a starter (came off the bench)when he played college basketball at the University of South Carolina and after 1 year, applied for the NBA draft.
The "one and done" college basketball disease that produces inferior professional players.
That's why he fizzled out in the NBA and will probably do the same overseas.
Go down to the "ghetto" and say that, instead of typing it from your mom's basement.
When we got married she was a negro, and I was a white boy. Then she turned black, and I became whitey, then she became an African American, and I became a caucasion. Sometimes we laugh about the changes, but one thing never changed, we still love each other because we didn't let bigotry control our lives, and we kept our sense of humor.
Oh, and by the way, I take offense to all of you who call me a racist...check the mirror.
Stop critizing people for wanting to earn a buck. These players have a short window to make that kind of money, and I don't blame them in the least for taking advantage of it. When their career is over they can go back to school and not have to worry about student loans. Why are people always bashing those who have more? It's a very jealous response that has been endorsed by our government and media. Your taught that if you work hard you can achieve your goals in America and live well. Today when you achieve those goals your called a selfish prick and couldn't possibly be a decent human.
