A New Challenge for Riko Riko
In 1999, Riko declared himself in the NBA draft and was super disappointed when no teams wanted him. In 2000, he ended up joining the Harlem Globetrotters as a way to make money while playing the sport he loved. But his time on the team was cut short because he got a very bad head injury that actually ended his entire basketball career. He then began using speed and then crystal meth for about five or six years. After surviving a severe overdose, he went to Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center where he learned how to get sober. His life turned around after meeting Jennifer Song at an event security job; they are now planning their wedding.
