From: New York Times

Comedian & DU Alum Sinbad (official name: David Adkins) was the celebrity owing the most on the list of back tax scofflaws released by the Franchise Tax Board in California. He is listed as owing $2.6 million in back personal taxes, making him number seven on the list of 250.

He attended college between 1974 and 1978 at the University of Denver where he lettered two seasons for the basketball team.

Sinbad had no comment when the Los Angeles Times contacted his representative before the list was published.

That's why you need to keep reading LetsGoDU in the offseason. :-)

I knew him pretty well at DU and it is a shame that he is in this situation. He is a really good guy. Hopefully, he can rectify the situation. His real name is David Adkins and if not for a major knee injury at DU, he was destined for the NBA.
