OT: Dumas blame cocaine use on Nancy Regan

Loved that quote, too. Basically, he was a good kid until he wasn't a good kid anymore.

Blaming Nancy Reagan, or anyone else for his downfall is laughable and disingenuous. Sack up and take responsibility for your own decisions/actions. Just because the Just Say No campaign made him curious doesn't mean he HAD to start abusing cocaine.

The guy was an amazing talent, but he threw it all away. As a rookie, he averaged 15.8ppg with PER = 18.6 on 62 win Phoenix team that featured Barkley, KJ, Marjerle, Danny Ainge and Tom Chambers. Before he played a single NBA game, he was suspended for an entire season for failing a random drug test. He was suspended again for the entire season after his rookie year and only played 58 more games in the NBA. Way to go Nancy!
