    Ex-NBA player arrested over fake sneakers

    A 2-month investigation into the alleged sale of counterfeit gym shoes from a Far South Side shop owned by an ex-NBA player culminated with the arrests today of that former basketball pro and his employee, according to Markham police, who led the investigation.

    Police from the south suburb, with assistance from Chicago police tactical unit officers, seized 500 pairs of counterfeit Nike Air Jordans from the shop, located in the Halsted Indoor Mall, 11444 S. Halsted St. in Chicago, said Markham Police Deputy Chief Tony DeBois.

    One of the men arrested was the store's owner, 36-year-old Nate Driggers, who played 15 games as a forward for the Boston Celtics during the 1996-1997 season, said DeBois.

    Also seized was 10 pounds of marijuana, worth an estimated $30,000, he said.
    That works out to less than $200/oz. Driggers apparently didn't maintain his NBA connections.
