"Eddie feels he needs further help with his drinking problem," Rusty Hardin said Friday. "He's very disappointed. But he's thankful for the way the Nets have reacted to his request for further treatment. He realizes these are problems he's created." Hardin said Griffin's agent, Arn Tellem, has arranged for the player to fly to Southern California to enter the center Wednesday. Griffin took a leave from the Nets on Wednesday, three weeks after signing with the team.</div> <div align="center">Link</div>
Poor guy has got some demons that won't leave him alone. I hope he gets himself together cause he's got a promising career ahead of him, but even beyond that, just to survive and be successful as a person he's gonna need to get right. I wish him the best.
I hope he gets better, its tough to see this guy(or anyone) have so many problems. Self inflicted? Maybe, but at least he took himself to the clinic, showing that he knows he needs help. It doesn't look like the Nets made any good FA acquisitions this year
Damn I feel bad because all I keep saying is why dont he hurry up & come to the team, so we can put Rodney Rodgers somewhere deep on the end of the bench. And then I keep hearing things like this & it shows you that NBA players are human. And have alot more to worry about then the game of basketball. I wish E.Griff the best of luck with his treatment.
