OJ Mayo: I Cheated The Game For 3 Or 4 Years

[Big Boss]

OJ Mayo wants NBA teams to know that he’s back in the gym, working hard to earn another shot in the League.

Mayo says that he hit “rock bottom” after receiving a two-year ban from the NBA, but was able to gain a new perspective after a trip to Africa.


In an interview with Sports Illustrated, Mayo admits that he “cheated the game“—and specifically, the Milwaukee Bucks—for years.

“I cheated the game for three or four years. I want to give my all back. I want to prove I’m a professional, low-maintenance guy.” […]



“I felt like I let [the Bucks] down, cheated them for two years. They paid me $8 million to be, in my eyes, a subpar player. They invested millions of dollars for me to be on top of my s—, and when you’re not on top of your s—, it shows.” […]



“I’m far from crazy. I’ve made some crazy a– decisions, but I’m not crazy. I’m good with myself. I’m comfortable with my body. I dug myself a hole, but it’s not a coffin. I can still get out.”

More power to the young brother. A lot of these young cats need a reality check from time-to-time. They take that type of opportunity for granted then reality punched them square dead in the face. I'm glad it didn't take him going to prison for his wake-up call. I just hope he's genuine about it tho.

He didn't need to say that, it was pretty obvious when he came into a season pushing 240.

he went to Africa though

 

[KingJay]

I hope someone gives him a chance I'm a believer that a trip to Africa can really be healing for a lot of brehs

He's clearly got natural talent, I wouldn't be shocked if he turned into a mid-level starter or good bench player
