Ex-NBA player Chris Gatling -- a former All-Star -- was arrested in Scottsdale, AZ yesterday ... with cops saying he was the kingpin in a massive illegal credit card and I.D. theft scam.
TMZ Sports has learned ... one of Gatling's alleged victims is a woman he met on a dating website who owned a fitness studio -- who he allegedly screwed out of $90,000.
Long story short ... cops say Gatling set up Internet businesses to gather credit card information from people.
Once he got the numbers, he would take them to the fitness studio ... convinced the lady to run the cards for various dollar amounts (she believed they were legit) ... and asked her to front him 90% of the payment in cash.
For example ... if the woman ran a $100 credit card charge for Gatling, she would give him $90 in cash and keep $10 for herself.
But cops say the credit card holders never authorized the fitness studio payments and cancelled their transactions -- leaving the fitness studio owner in a $90,000 hole ... the amount she had given to Gatling in cash.
Officials eventually caught on to the scheme ... and arrested Gatling for fraud, aggravated iden y theft and forgery.
And get this ... he was busted while meeting with his probation officer -- stemming from a forgery and theft CONVICTION back in 2013 when he attempted to rent out a home he didn't own.
An attorney for Gatling tells us she's still gathering information on the case.
FYI -- Gatling was a 1st round NBA Draft pick in 1991 ... and played in the league for 11 years.

That 30-for-30 Broke do entary is sure looking wise. All that money he made playing and he feels the need to scam people.
Chris Gatling was a ing allstar?
90s NBA
Chris Gatling was a ing allstar?
And so was Christian Laetner. As if we can't find some WTF All-Stars of the last 15 years (like Yao!!!!! in his early years), remember it's mostly a popularity contest.Chris Gatling was a ing allstar?
Even Korver is an all-star this year

Made millions of dollars and broke, sounds about right
He was like 60% of the NBA. And who knows, he may just have been doing that to stroke his ego or because he wanted to live more lavishly.
Further evidence that the All Star team rosters really need to be cut from 12 players down to 10.
My god, a Lakerfan on ST that joined pre-Gasol
If anything, they need to be raised to 15 because a lot of deserving players have been snubbed for the most popular and biggest name. And All-Star games may be the only way good but not great players ever get any recognition or anything to look back on their career on and remind people they were ever any good, like Chris Gatling.
I know this was coming as soon as I read thread le.
I got a good laugh out of this arguing with someone a week or so back when they laughed at Dana Barros being an all star although the year he made it his numbers were FAR superior. Korver is not near an all star IMO but he made it, damn new age bballEven Korver is an all-star this year
crofl at Dan Barros ever having a TS% of .699
Kobe was an allstar in 2014

"The Gatling Gun" briefly played for the Cavaliers, I think in 2000-01. One of the biggest chuckers I've ever seen in an NBA uniform.
Dang, I miss the NBA of the 90's. I miss the NBA on NBC and the John Tesh theme.
