An FBI investigation has snagged a current NBA assistant coach, NBA champions Tony Allen and Glen “Big Baby” Davis, a star of the movie “The Perfect Score,” and Golden State Warriors legends C.J. Watson and Will Bynum (15 games, 2005-6 season) for a health care fraud scheme.
A total of 18 players were charged with conspiracy to commit health care fraud and wire fraud, which could carry jail time of up to 20 years, which seems excessive. The players charged the NBA’s health and benefit plans for fictitious medical and dental procedures that never took place, some supposedly occurring in the US while the “patient” was playing basketball overseas.
