It was every bit as embarrassing as the over-reach was in the first place, but with much more significant implications for the team if people in the front office are buying it. The idea of committing to him under the circumstances because of that sentimental crap makes me want to vomit.
You're being equally gullible if you're buying this newfound dedication to fitness and re-shaping his body. Anybody who takes off the rose-colored glasses would see this for the contract year push that it is, but Jabari can apparently sweet-talk some of you into anything. Committing to Jabari has never been in the Bucks' best interests, now less than ever.
Would have been cool if he had lost all that weight before tearing his ACL twice.
That letter reeked of PR bull.

I pulled up to this spot … and I saw these olds guys, hanging out, sitting outside with their hot rods. I mean some real nice cars. And I parked my ride, I got out, and, man … we just got to talking. You’d look at us, and you’d probably be thinking that we have nothing in common — these old white guys, and then here I am, this young black ball player who’s bumpin’ rap music? No way. But it turned out we did. And it was just this really great day. I’ll still go back there, sometimes, and me and those guys, we’ll just catch up. I’ll ask them about cars. They’ll tell me stories about going to Bucks games in the ‘70s. It’s just very Milwaukee. We can talk about anything.
