<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Laettner -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The National Basketball Association announced today that Washington Wizards forward Christian Laettner has been suspended for five games for violating the NBA/NBPA Anti-Drug policy. Laettner will begin serving the suspension Tuesday when the Wizards face the Houston Rockets. ?We?re extremely disappointed that this happened.? said Wizards President of Basketball Operations Ernie Grunfeld. ?This comes as a surprise to us, as the league?s substance abuse policy is confidential. I have spoken to Christian and he is embarrassed for his family, his teammates, the Wizards organization and the fans.? ?I deeply regret any embarrassment that my actions have caused to members of my family, my teammates, my fans and the Washington Wizards organization,? said Laettner. ?I accept full responsibility for my actions. I have elected to seek professional assistance to fully educate myself as to the consequences of my behavior to assure that these issues never interfere again with my career and my obligations to my team, my teammates and our fans.? </div> Story
That's both surprising and disappointing, to echo Grunfeld's words. As one of three remaining active players from the original Dream Team, I've always looked for Laettner to do the right thing.
Kwame is a starter now anyways, he is the starting SF...the starting lineup for tonights game is Knight Hughes Kwame Jeffries Haywood so, I dont think it is a bright side, he was supposed to be a role model for this team (Laettner, he is one of the few veterans they have, he said in the off season he wanted to help the big men develop their game, but then i hear that he is a real prick, when it was fan meet and greetm him and stack both spent 45 minutes in the bathroom, Kwame didnt show up, had the flu, and everyone else was good...everyone said that Laettner was a real prick when he finally did come out.
What Laettner meant to say was he deeply regrets getting caught. Now Swame gets to play some more basketball. Might make them better if Swame gives a little effort.
