Vin Baker -- 4 years sober

[Gainesville Celtic]

I imagine a lot of folks 'round here are still soured on Vin Baker, but it was nice to read this article about him today.

He's 4+ years sober, working as a coach with the Bucks' Summer League squad and sounds like he's doing well.

I was bummed for the C's that he didn't work out here -- he was a phenomenal talent early in his career --- and more bummed for him that he struggled so much with addiction. So i'm glad to hear that he's turned his life around.

Great to see Baker doing great!! He was a great talent until alcohol took over..

Great news about Vin Baker's sobriety -- really glad for him and hope it lasts.

I too was disappointed once we got him.  I had high hopes, glad he has over come his problems.  I wish him well and I am glad he is happy.   Wonder if he would talk to Sully about his food addiction.
