It will loom until his thoroughly laid-back, countrified persona is as much a given on the global SkiPax registry as charitable considerations toward Sudan, Argentina and other points east, north, south and west. It will loom until another throbbing strain of New Player, Transgression Past arrives to meld into All Things, New Bulls. And The Question is: What about the arrest, JamesOn? ''I expect that question to be asked,'' said the 6-3 rookie guard, a second-round pick in the NBA draft June 28. ''All the time I expect it to be asked, and I am just thankful that I can stand here with a clear head and try and be professional and answer it. And answer it in a good manner and not be disrespectful to anybody or anything. I have to keep trying to take the positive out of what happened.'' What happened, CliffsNotes version, is that Curry, now 21, got cracked for selling $95 worth of marijuana at age 17 to an undercover investigator posing as a fellow student at Eastern Alamance High School in Mebane, N.C. His transgressions -- one for $50, one for $45 -- occurred in the fall of his senior season, just as he was embarking on a final prep campaign that would make him the leading career scorer in the history of boys high school basketball in the state. He initially was charged with six felony counts -- three per deal -- involving possession, sale and intent to distribute the dreaded weed. </div> Source: Sun Times
