Sometimes there's a prim, somewhat disapproving, message which lets me know the call is collect and coming from a jail. I never know what to expect when I pick up the phone. The calm voice of a middle-aged man? His alter ego, the conspiracy theorist? Or the alcoholic who will say anything for a chance to calm his demons?</div>

    This article left me speechless for a while.
    Must understand that Players and GM's have bigger issues in their lives than basketball.

    Wow that must be an incredibly difficult thing to deal with... Knowing the life of a person can really change your perspective on a person rather than just disliking them for something like a career in professional basketball. If that happened to my brother it would destroy me emotionally.

    I can't comprehend the pain that Eric Williams has gone through and probably still goes through everyday after losing his wife. I can't imagine much worse, other than losing a son or daughter.
