I have no idea what Becker’s problem actually is, but the first thing that came to my mind is: “Cocaine is a helluva drug.” — Rick James.
Becker admits to a history of alcohol and drug abuse, and having to pay off ex-girlfriends, including a huge paternity payout, along with bad investments have done him in financially.
I had an uncle who worked with Agassi back in the 90’s back in FL. He told me Andre was a cheapskate, Sampras was quiet yet an ahole and Becker spent money like crazy. Told me McEnroe may talk a lot but he was super nice if he knew you for a time.
HERE is how it happened. Divorce, over-extension on luxury real estate, failed business ventures. And a stint as a professional poker player? Blew through 63 million bucks. Damn.
