Kermit Washington made the NBA All-Star team as a Portland Trail Blazers player during the 1979-1980 season. But he’ll most likely be remembered for just two things.
First, he almost killed the Rockets’ Rudy Tomjanovich with a punch. And second, he’s on his way to prison.
On Monday, a court sentenced Washington to six years in federal prison. According to reports, Washington spent “hundreds of thousands of dollars in charity donations on vacations, shopping sprees and plastic surgery for his girlfriend.”
Washington must also pay almost $970,000 in restitution.
