“It was like a drug and each time I needed more”, confessed Winston Bennett, an NBA player in the 80s and 90s, he said it without a filter.
Three or four women a day. Ninety a month. Not as an exaggeration, as his routine. 😳 Bennett had a respectable career between the NBA and Europe.
Behind the player there was an addiction that he himself took years to recognize as such. “It was normal for me”, he stated. Normal. That word is the one that hits hardest.
He was not talking about occasional excesses: he was talking about a compulsion that consumed his life as much as basketball. 🏀 His story ended up becoming a case study on sex addiction in professional sports.
