Damn, this cat had nothing but bad luck.

maybe the League has to do sth about it?
He's not the only one in the same position

don't retired Nba players had pensions?

He used up his pension already. (As stated in the article).

A sad tale indeed, particularly the way - as the column notes - it just sort of happened. Usually stories like this are cautionary tales about drugs, extravagant lifestyles and strings of paternity suits, but here the causes seem less clear, a simple case of bad luck as Jeffx said.
