In his NBA career, Vaughn played in 118 games and scored a total of 341 points. After leaving the NBA, he played in Europe, then returned to Orlando. Having saved little money from his NBA playing days, he worked a number of blue-collar jobs, and for a time in 2008 was living out of his car. In 2009, his friends held a fundraiser for him. "I bought houses that were too big and too many luxurious cars. I wish I'd have lived more simply because I'd be better off. () I appreciate people stepping forward. It'll help me put some of my life back together," he said in an interview.〔(Long fall from riches to rags for ex-NBA player Vaughn )〕 As of September 2009, Vaughn was collecting unemployment benefits, supporting his wife and their two children in southwest Orlando, Florida.〔(NBA Washout David Vaughn Back From The Depths of Despair )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「David Vaughn III」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
