In the end it all comes down to playing time. Had this guy played 30 minutes a game, there's no way he would have come back.
And how can you not handle NBA lifestyle? NBA is a players league. After all the drills and the discipline under Obradovic, Houston must have been like paradise for him.
You earn playing time... he thought he was going to be a superstar in the NBA. The before he got traded to the Spurs, he said he would never come back to the NBA even if he got traded to the Spurs. I just think it is stupid what the OP is saying.
He had hissy fits with JVG, well too f'ing bad. Be a man and earn your mins. You are a rookie and it doesn't matter if you think you are the Greek T-mac, you have to be able to perform and he never did. He sucked in the NBA, that is why he went back to Europe.
