The guy never had a chance. No dad, mom dead, 6'10" in high school, NBA pothead @ age 20, millionaire shortly thereafter, surrounded by hucksters, grifters and sycophants. I wonder if he ever learned to read.

Of course he did it to himself. That's what's sad about it. I bet the guy was completely oblivious to what he was throwing away. He was allegedly worth more than $50M when he died. Or at least earned that much over his career. Gifted athlete. End's up schltting himself, unconscious in a whorehouse full of skank, vegetable at age 36.

He was too ignorant of life to even be helped by friends, if he even had any. No sympathy from me, either. It's completely understandable to be angry at what he wasted. It's still sad.

No, but it can buy your choice of misery. He chose poorly.

While the coke thing probably aides in his little journey to the hospital, he was taking a OTC male enhancement that the FDA had recommended everyone throwing away about two years ago, as it was deemed to cause death. I read GE was slamming them like Tic Tacs.

Not a bit of sympathy here on this one...

And when does a nearly 7 foot black dude need an enhancement....I'm just sayin'...

Switching topic to the NBA.

Rampant illegal use of drugs by players has been going on FOR YEARS!

So much for drug testing, cheating and coverup.

No one would believe the 'superstars' champions have EVER done such. Idolized and $$$$$$$$$$$$$ in business matters. Agents dance with league owners and bad PR is avoided at ALL COST.
