Nothing, because he was taken off their playoff roster and in no way contributed to the Lakers' championship. Actually I take that back, he contributed by NOT being there. Try again.
You are trolling me by coming at me with an argument that has a basis of Michael Jordan being a headcase. Of course I'm going to say you're making yourself look stupid...because you are. Evans may very well NOT be a head case. I'm just arguing to the principle of a bona fide head case.
But you said you were taking the word of a few posters in this thread about Evans being a head case. I think it's obvious that both Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant have been in more "head case" public situations than Tyreke Evans, isn't it? They were much more talented than Evans, and two of the greatest players in NBA history, so does that excuse them from being head cases? By your criteria, nobody who has won a title can be considered a head case. Read your own definition of it. It makes no sense to me. I'm not trolling you, I'm questioning you. If you can't handle it, that's not my fault.
JR Rider won nothing. Artest just got himself suspended for the rest of the year. I mean...I guess that's a guy you would want around though yah? Stephen Jackson, he rode the coat tails of Duncan, Robinson, Parker and the rest of them. He left and they still continued to win championships. I'm sure they don't regret letting him go.
The Lakers don't win in '10 without Artest's Game 7. Not sure where c_note is going with this, but it's as much entertainment as this board has seen in a while.
I'm not a fan of headcases, but watching you try to swim upstream is pretty entertaining. You didn't stipulate what kind of role they had, you just asked us to name one, JUST ONE, questionable character guy that won a championship and we've named about four or five. And you give Dennis Rodman way too much credit. The guy is a looney toon. Go read his books. It's not an act. He's crazy.
BTW Tyreke Evans drove a car while his cousin shot and killed someone back in high school. Somehow he wasn't charged as an accessory to murder and its been disgustingly overlooked for years: http://www.aolnews.com/2009/06/25/tyreke-evans-red-flag-a-cousins-murder-plea/ http://sportsbybrooks.com/tyreke-evans-can-drive-but-he-doesnt-shoot-24668 http://articles.philly.com/2007-12-27/sports/24997082_1_tyreke-evans-cousin-high-school-basketball http://www.delcotimes.com/articles/2009/06/24/news/doc4a419dadeb1eb042040531.txt

Your assessment of Jordan is weak, to say the least. OH, he has gambling problems? God damn, strap on the white vest to a guy who now entirely owns his own NBA team. Kobe....rape allegations that never happened. Infidelity maybe...but who are you to judge? Just some bitch trying to get money out of him. And I'm not defending Kobe, I hate the guy. And his feud with Shaq? OK, that's the extent of Kobe's drama in his career. A false accusation that got a lot of attention and a war of words with another player.
JR Rider didn't win shit. But OK TWO. YOU GUYS PROVED TO ME THERE'S TWO!! Out of the last what, 15 years? And look, they both had at least one mega-superstar as a teammate to keep things under control. Just sayin. We don't have a mega-superstar.
