    I was a big fan of Eddie Griffin when he played for Seton Hall, and I thought he would be one of the young stars in the NBA. I loved his passion for defense and I thought he would thrive under the guidance of Jeff Van Gundy. I was shocked to find out his off the court baggage. He came from a disciplined college and played for one of the best coaches in the leage, Rudy T. Another wasted talent.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting sportsrock37:</div><div class="quote_post">Magic definetely wouldn't sign him, KC. They have the good team image, they don't want anyone bad on their team. Do you guys think he will ever play in the NBA again?</div>

    See my post that is two aboves yours and apply next season to any future season he might play in the NBA.

    I think at this point it is a toss-up whether he plays again or not.

    I agree... He drew my attention to Seton Hall (been there ever since).

    As distorted as Griffin's life has become. I think it's only a matter of time before he comes to his senses and puts his heart to basketball again. I believe he will start in the NBDL or USBL and slowly work his way back to the league. Vintage, your lineup is nice, I think they still woulda gotten Yao because of the injuries that season. CARROLL DAWSON, WATCH YOUR NEXT MOVE!!!!!!
