According to TMZ the former NBA champ turned Kardashian Kursed crackhead has just inked a deal with Celebrity Boxing and will make his in-ring boxing debut at the Showboat Casino this June 12th in Atlantic City.

However, Scott has echoed a sentiment that is spreading among his GOP and conservative colleagues that seeking a second impeachment will further f...
