Guy was a mental midget. Also one of my favorite players at the time.
Made epically bad choices -- he took the respect from his own name, not me.
Wow you must fun and giggles, life of the party IRL. Then again I remember your rambling about Boogie, etc. Seems like many other people agree with my settlement.
Oh no, for what it's worth I'm most definitely not the fun of the party. Proudly so. I'm not that insecure, nor do I give a flying hoot about playing for others' approval. You could put every drug known to mankind on the table in front of me, and you'd be very lucky if I didn't just scoop them all up and flush $1000 of your money down the toilet for the insult.
Not sure what Boogie's got to do with anything. His career was ruined by things outside his control. That, I won't make excessive fun of. May eventually do an "anger issues" thread, but I think there's a huge break there between guys who just were in game angry and guys who were actually thugs/a threat to hurt people...or dogs...offcourt.
Tarpley however? He is THE cautionary tale. If he's got one last contribution to make it is solely as a failure so over the top that no kid ever wants to emulate him.
