Quinlen bt ]Future A woman slept with a National Basketball Association superstar who insisted on wearing a condom. The woman then took the used con- dom and put it in her refrigerator, hoping to artificially inseminate her- self later, unbeknownst to the player. Her goal was to bear this man's child, knowing that if she won a paternity suit, it would mean a huge child sup- port award for her and her child.1 This was the rumor that circulated among NBA players during the 1997-98 season, and whether apoc- ryphal or not, it represents the worst fears of professional athletes.
