While everything seemed fine, the 10-time NBA All-Star quickly realized something was wrong.
“It was my fault though because I’m still trying to see the last little bit of the barracudas snorkeling and all that ... I look up, the current is taking me in the middle of the ocean like opposite from the boat," he said.
