Amazing post, I agree 100 percent. Blatche please stop before the police find your cold dead body in the river. Your living out of control.


No doubt AB is doing (and has done) some stupid things...such as getting busted for the third time with a suspended drivers license. But I think it's a bit of an overstatement to say he's "living out of control" or to suggest that the police are going to find his dead body in the river.

He's a kid and he's acting like it. But, at this point, I just don't see the doom or gloom you predict.

Click the second video in this link (comcast's) and watch to the end. Dray missing all three free throws? I love the reports of TO's insane competitiveness, though. That guy might be crazy, but man he hates to lose at anything.

Now this is a post I agree with. Some of you are really blowing things out of porportion. I can assure you, he thought "what are the chances i get pulled over?" I'm sure he had every intention on going the speed limit and following the traffic laws. However on 95, just wasn't paying attention, as i'm sure all of us have been guilty of at one time or another.

While i'm ranting. What's all this talk about cutting out the club hopping, stop chasing sluts and what not. Give me a break, why does he have to conform to what a 40 year old believes is living correctly. I'm 24 and I am very serious about my career and i go to school at night. But you bet your ass that when i was single, i was at the club every weekend almost, chasing around a piece of tail. Do I make millions? Hell no, but if i did, I'd be all over the place too. He just needs a good women to settle him down. However, untill then, he's going party and have fun as much as possible. As he should. The dude, just has bad luck. Plain and simple.
Just let the young boys play! It's truly the only hope at this point.

Yes and no.

Yes he's had bad luck. Yes he's a kid.

But whether he likes it or not, Andray is both a public figure and a representative of the Wizards. When he screws up, he's not the only who has to deal with the consequences. His teammates and bosses do too. So while you or I could freey chase tail on the weekends in our young 20's, Dray needs to consider that people know who he is, that everyone has a camera phone, that he's a target, etc.

And while fame and fortune may have been "thrust upon" Dray at a young and immature age, no one held a gun to his head when he signed his contract. If he's going to last in Washington or the NBA for that matter, he needs to learn to be a true professional by keeping his nose clean, taking care of his body and working on his game.

I truly love the kid, but it's time for him to grow up.

For one thing, it those 40+ year olds that are paying him the millions. He who has the gold rules.

Some things never change. Come talk to me when your 40 and some 24 year is stating his life experience and wisdom as equal to yours - LOL

Go back and read what I wrote in the context I wrote it.

The fact that someone is paying him millions in a career that has great public exposure, it's physically and mentally taxing, and he hasn't reached the level of performance he need to get to. That has everything to do with it.

While I don't make millions, I do very well, and if I was getting arrested and it was in the news so that my customers and associates could see it, my boss would have something to say about that and it would effect his trust in me which would effect my career and my $$$ in the future if I didn't straighten up.

It would also effect the amount of respect I got from my peers and it would effect my ability to be a leader.

I got in trouble driving when I was younger and just the treat of doing any jail time was enough to get my attention.

I say give him 30 days. You do the crime. You do the time.

Bernetta. Look him up on utube if you are to young to know what I'm talking about.

You get my point, if it was anyone else I could care less. But personally, if I got shot in the damn chest after a long night of partying, busted for prostitution.......and needed to work on my game I wouldn't take the time out to fly to South Beach and host parties.

Basically, people don't use car services here. Which means Blatche is likely getting drunk off his ass and using one of he exotic rental cars drunk as hell. Just remember this post if he gets arrested yet again.

I was going to propose a trade for Blatche and offer a PG and a SF. But after his latest run in and the expose on this board I guess I will pass. His off the court conduct is not something I think would fit on our team. He sounds like a young Zbo. He just needs a little more time to really screw up his future.

:nod:

And it's not over. South Beach does bad, bad things to people.......if he's hosting parties I also suspect he's doing the drugs in the owner's rooms in the back. If you know any of the promoters, owners or whatever you get offered pretty much everything. Considering he has shown zero self restraint off the court, wouldn't surprise me if he was smoking tons of marijuana and even popping a few pills. They are plentiful down there for VIP types, I can only imagine for some NBA dude who is proclaimed "host". More than likely it was offered as part of the payment.

Next prediction? Drug bust. All of these things go together, it isn't like he's just going down the street and having a few beers. He's popping bottles, screaming on a mic and getting attacked by 5 gold diggers. I've been there, and it sends you down a bad, bad, bad road. It's very hard to hop off that train. It explains why he has money problems, even with millions those 1500-2000 dollar nights catch up to you quickly.

If this one is going to come true as quickly as your last prediction, Dray better watch out tonight.

Return to Washington Wizards
