Mookie Blaylock, the 13 year NBA veteran, the majority of those spent with the Atlanta Hawks, received a reduced sentence for his role in a car accident in Georgia in 2013 that claimed the life of a mother of five.
Originally sentenced to 15 years, Blaylock saw his sentence reduced to seven years, with a three year suspension and eight year probation.
