The league has always had players like that.
DC for me was the most blatant waste of talent... He had a good career, but it could've been so much better if he cared.

Roy Tarpley beasted in Europe during his NBA suspension, then the league allowed him back in 1994 and he got caught again

my ex has a very rapey JR Rider story. He apparently did that prep college thing out in antelope valley here in socal and she and her little friends used to guffaw at the b ball stars. date rapiness ensued.
This is an offshoot of the Glenn Robinson Purdue thread
That was Harold Miner that he dunked on

I got a cousin that played d tackle in high school and one year of junior college. nikka was a beast 6"4 320 lbs with no fat. Strongest nikka without ever lifting weights
All the schools was on him in 11th but they cooled on him in the 12 cause his dumb ass grades was so fukked up. nikka went to the juco and dominated when ever coach put him in. But this idiot was faking injuries so he didn't have to practice and workout. Just real bytch made shyt. Then he drops out and tells us he don't love the game, big dumb b*stard. Now he 27 and live with his momma and waiting on her to get paid so he can get his allowance.

That's exactly what it is. A lot of cats were just super tall from the jump, or super athletic, and were sort of pushed into sports, it's not everyone's passion. Fans always seem to not be able to understand that. That's why you always get the "Why are they complaining about money, hell, I'd play for free" bullshyt.
Not only that, it's easy to love playing basketball when you're just doing that shyt for fun after work or on the weekends or whatever. I'm sure when it's your job and you have crazy (bullshyt) pressure put on you and it's really the only thing you've done all of your life, it probably takes the joy out for a lot of guys.

J.R Rider used to come to the hood and shoot dice with nikkas. That's after he was already in the league and was a millionaire. Dude grew up in Alameda which is right next to Oakland but is 100% different from Oakland. Alameda is a middle class city that doesn't have any violent crime for the most part. He wanted to impress nikkas in the town too much. No reason for an NBA millionaire to be on the corner shooting dice with nikkas that probably never seen 50 thousand dollars at 1 time.
Sadly, that has been the downfall of too many black entertainers to count. Regular joes with gifts, trying to impress and fit in with hood nikkas, doing hood shyt. Not knowing the guys that they want to impress would trade lives with them to get out of the hood in a heartbeat.
Idiots.
