Beware people, T-Mac has that lazy eye of a cold blooded assassin. Dont let his look deceive you.

If people die from getting dunked on, Shawn Bradley must be immortal.

But yeah thats a sad story. It never helps when a profession is forced upon you because of your abilities and against your will. I bet there are more people in the NBA that play more for the lifestyle the game gives them than just for the love of the game.

The title of the topic is just not right at all, I think !

Squirrel, no offense, but it's true !
It's not because T-Mac dunked on him, it's because he made the wrong decisions.
T-Mac has nothing to do with him. It's because his priorities were drinking and whatever wrong he did !

That's probably true, but I can't blame then. Bottom line it's a career. And those that can make it one are naturally gifted.

But the "love of the game" people are easy to find. They're playing at the park.

Wow, truly sad story. However, I think the writer used a little poetic license in trying to tie in Felton's downward spiral to getting dunked on by Tmac. Seems like a bit of oversimplification to blame something as complex as alcoholism on a singular event. Overall though, very moving story. Just goes to show that talent only opens doors, it can't make you walk through them.
