Really good Chris Andersen article

All of you should read this. It is very long, but a very good article. I learned alot about his path to the NBA, his struggles, his motives for using drugs, etc..http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2006/writ...dman/index.html

 

Almost movie-like.

 

I thought he already served like a year? I thought he was good to come back for the 07/08 season? But that says he's just 9 mo in next month. So he can't come back till like January 08?

 

very nice story. Which could actually make a good movie.

 

"Birdman: one flew over the NBA nest"

 

He's just a dumb Texan who made a lot of bad choices...and he's paying for them now. I don't feel sorry for him at all. He blew it.

really good story, I remember hearing about him being a fan favorite in NO before the unfortunate incident. Too bad, you hate this type of thing happen to good guys that overcome tough times during their childhood. I hope he's able to make a comeback into the league.

 

I really don't feel sorry for him. He violated the drug policy more than once. I know he may have had a rough childhood, but that does not excuse his use of drugs now. He may have been a fan favorite, but he blew it big time.
