Ask an NBA fan about five-time All-Star Shawn Kemp, and you’re likely to hear about both his thunderous dunks and his proclivity for fathering children out of wedlock (at least seven, by six women, though many sources put the figure at 12 or higher). While his parental shortcomings made him a league punch line, they also overshadowed a troubling pattern of drug use that led to multiple league suspensions. After checking himself into rehab for cocaine in 2001, Kemp was arrested in 2005 for possession of cocaine and marijuana and was again charged with possession of pot in 2006.
