Sarah Palin is often linked to her conservative views as a prominent Republican Party member. When the controversial biography ‘The Rogue: Searching for the Real Sarah Palin’ was published in 2011 she found herself suddenly in the public eye. It was an account of drugs gone wild, marital breakups, and accusations of adultery & infidelity.
The rumor in the book claims that Palin engaged in an adulterous relationship with NBA champion and three-time all-star, Glen Rice.
Then, a close friend of Palin was cited(on TYT) as saying,:
I remember Sarah feeling pretty good that she’d been with a Black basketball star.
This unsubstantiated story gives us a trip down memory lane way back in 1987. Palin had already completed her college course and had been a registered Republican since 1982. As a 6-foot-8 junior, Rice played for the University of Michigan and he still holds some records including wearing the number 44 jersey in 2005.
The fact that this reported affair allegedly took place only nine months before Palin eloped with her husband, with whom she would eventually create a family, adds even more spiciness to the story. The fourth overall pick in the 1989 NBA Draft, Rice had an immaculate NBA career as a small forward. Before taking home a championship with the Lakers in 2000, he spent six seasons playing for the Miami Heat.
Palin’s intriguing connections with sports stars beyond Rice
Glen Rice was not the only sports star that fascinated Palin. Two other former sportsmen also created waves when similar rumors made headlines, each in their own unique way. The outspoken NBA icon Charles Barkley showed his true feelings for the politician without holding back.
Mike Tyson addressed the subject directly, demonstrating his genuine excitement. Still, very few people knew that Palin was a devoted basketball enthusiast whose allegiance went beyond her apparent bond with the budding NBA player.
While in high school, she took part in school activities. Therefore she opted for her calling and became an anchor and a sports reporter. She has even gone ahead to give a good analysis of the Michigan Wolverines, her old team.
