Fila Sneaker Launch
He was stopped for the possession of marijuana! At the time, Chris was headed to Barbados for the promotion of a new sneaker by the sportswear company, Fila. After the illegal substance was found in his luggage, the brand dropped him and even charged him $2.61 million for breaching his contract.
Timeout Trouble
Let’s go back to the NCCA Men’s Division I Basketball Championships in 1993. He made a rather infamous timeout call that ended up costing the team the title! There were only 10 seconds before the end of the 4th quarter and the score was 73-71 with the North Carolina Tar Heels in the lead. He called for a timeout without realizing they no longer had any! It earned him a technical foul and resulted in a loss for the Wolverines. That was a pretty big mistake and we’re sure he still regrets it.
