The Bobcat Nation

9. Micheal Ray Richardson
Richardson, back in 1986, achieved the most dubious of NBA firsts, becoming the league's first player to be banned for drug use after he tested positive for cocaine for the third time. The All-Star guard had admitted he had a problem, had undergone multiple rehabs, but the drug use didn't stop.
Richardson played eight seasons in the NBA, bouncing around from the Knicks (where he was supposed to be the next Walt Frazier) to the Warriors to the Nets, and the four-time all star was the Nets' leading scorer when he was finally banned. "He'd play well, then 'go on three- or four-day binges,' (Richardson) said," wrote the Denver Post's John Henderson. "He missed flights. He missed games. The stats didn't show it, but insiders could tell."
The Hackensack (N.J.) Record named Richardson the "biggest waste" of the 1980s, and when Richardson finally recovered, he showed what he could do on the basketball court -- in Europe, where, post-NBA, he enjoyed a lengthy, successful career (well, if you don't count the time Knorr Bologna of the Italian League released him after he tested positive for cocaine).


any thoughts??

actually talking to my little sister the point guard that was accused of statuatiory rape was a jerk and an ass, therefore wont be missed.

I am officially morning O'brians meth conviction - he should rot in jail for that but i am morning that he got into it - he was a damn good coach

I wonder how the kids we're recruiting will react to last year and how we handle this years mess. It's an opportunity to really reach out to kids coming from hideous neighborhoods...or lose them. I think Coach Kramer has done a great job in that aspect, mayber better than Erickson used to do. Time to watch Durham's leadership through this year.

hmmm how durham will react to this... i personally know he is doing the right thing...whats his face is suspended from the team. he knows that the girl was underaged and yet he pled innocent...the nerve

He gives us men a bad name - for the love of god
