Former NBA Slam Dunk champion Desmond Mason has seen better days in his life, and they came when he wasn’t behind bars.

Mason was arrested on a charge of contempt of court. He wouldn’t be long as he got released later that night on a $50,000 bond.
The 47-year-old Desmond Mason was jailed due to an issue in his divorce case with his ex-wife, Andrea Mason, per TMZ.
TMZ further added the former NBA star failed to appear at a court hearing despite being ordered to do so.
