    A new book says Sarah Palin and former NBA star Glen Rice had an intimate relationship in the 1980s.

    Turns out, Palin was a sports reporter in Alaska back in 1987.

    Here’s the National Enquirer’s take from the upcoming Palin book by Joe McGinniss.

    “In the book, which will be published on September 20th, McGinniss claims Sarah had a steamy interracial hookup with basketball stud Glen Rice less than a year before she eloped with her husband Todd.

    “Sarah hooked up with the NBA great, then a 6-foot-8 junior at the University of Michigan when he was playing in a college basketball tournament in Alaska in 1987, the book says. At the time, Sarah, just out of college, was working as a sports reporter for the Anchorage TV station KTUU.

    “A publishing source told The ENQUIRER that McGinniss claims Sarah had a “fetish” for black men at the time and he quotes a friend as saying Sarah had “hauled (Rice’s) ass down.”

    “In the book, McGinniss quotes Rice as confirming the one-night stand.”
