He Made $29M in the NBA. Then Listed a Stranger’s House for Rent.

🏀 NBA All-Star Chris Gatling earned over $29 million in the NBA. Then he listed someone else's house for rent at $800 a month. He wasn't the landlord—he was living there without permission. A Craigslist ad drew interest: one prospective renter paid a deposit, another got suspicious and called police. But the house case was only the beginning. Before the headlines, Gatling survived a devastating head injury, became a first-round draft pick and built an eleven-season NBA career. From the Golden State Warriors to the Dallas Mavericks, his scoring and trademark headband made him recognizable. His basketball success was real. The promises he later sold in Arizona were another matter. 🎥 In this Chris Gatling documentary: • His recovery, Old Dominion breakthrough and arrival in Golden State • A Shawn Kemp dunk—and the hand slap that angered Tim Hardaway • Leading the NBA in field-goal percentage, ahead of Shaquille O'Neal • A $22 million Dallas contract, a coaching dispute and the 1997 All-Star Game • Taking Michael Jordan's Bulls to overtime in the 1998 playoffs • The $800 rental listing, guilty pleas and probation in the house case • The fitness-studio allegations—and the separate website-fraud conviction How did a player who earned millions end up collecting money for a house he didn't own and websites customers never received?
